Relaxing?

Okay.  I just sent Peter off on his first field trip.  And I'm just a little nervous about it.  I'm not worried that he'll get lost, because he knows how to stay with a group.  What am I worried about?  Maybe just that I'm not there, and he really wanted me to be.  For 7 years I've always been there.  This is me letting go, folks.

Oh, and he gets carsick whenever he travels in the morning.  Doesn't he Mom?  I put a plastic bag in his coat pocket.  Hope he doesn't have to use it.  But he probably will.  That can't be good for making friends and influencing people.

They're busing it to the zoo this morning, an hour into The City.  He's been looking forward to it and was funnily giddy last night.  Paul thought I shouldn't go in order to promote relaxation in my life.  I guess he thinks I need to relax.

Then send me to the California beach!

It is my Half Birthday today.  That's gotta deserve a trip to Cali.  And what a great way to divert my worries from the field trip that I'm not on.  I'll go pack.

Oh man.  I have a great picture to insert here.  Paul taking a nap on a La Jolla beach.  Proof that he knows beaches promote relaxation.  But, I can't upload the picture because Blogger has changed their picture-uploading methods and none of them work for me.

Did I mention it's below 40 degrees again?  You know how to treat that?  Go to any California beach.
