Belize trip sounds like a great time, Pix!
Connie, you're probably right, deep breath, Vegas will be fun and when you come home everything will be fine. That's my mantra when I'm starting to panic. Everything is fine.
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, all! I’m super excited for so many reasons.
Also, I adulted my butt off today by actually getting our Christmas travel booked -- flights, car and even a dinner and show evening cruise in Fort Lauderdale with my parents as a present.
Connie -- it’s perfectly normal to get nervous before a trip, and it’s okay to feel anything you’re feeling. Maybe Vegas will help to convince your brain that getting out of town is a good thing.

Connie, better a panic attack now rather than tomorrow. It'll all be okay, but it's hard to convince your lizard brain of that.

I am dog-sitting the Big Dog, who is Very Large.
Aw, who's a Big Dog? YOU ARE.
Which means that I probably have to go, to tell my still traumatized brain that it's OK to move on, that the world is someplace I need to be in, that I can't hide in my little hole.
It's perfectly understandable and normal to be feeling these things. Is there anything you can occupy your mind with so it's too busy to panic and you can go to Vegas and have fun, already?

Oooh, Belize! I want to go one day.
We've been doing the smoothie thing for the wee one, my child who is underweight and eats like a very picky rabbit. I do worry that it has the ancillary effect of increasing the weight of the kid who is doing just fine, but as you all have just reminded me, he's not very far away from Eating. All. The. Things.

That dog is so big that he looks like he's on a set with half-size furniture.

Thank you, that looks useful!
I can't stand drooly dogs. I know they're love muffins and snuggly beasts, but drool just drives me nuts.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Insent, msbelle. And thanks!
