Springbutt (#2): Travel

November 29, 2011

Although I have this strange secret love of airports, I really do not enjoy spending time in the air or in the car.  Yet, I travel quite a bit.  And it is exhausting.

This next month is shaping up to be a doozy.   With a work trip to Atlanta, and car trips currently planned for Pennsylvania for 1) my college girlfriends’ Christmas gathering, 2) my High School girlfriends Christmas gathering, 3) our Neff Christmas, 4) the Siegrist gathering and 5) the Good family gathering, that means numerous back and forths.   Yes, we’re used to it, but is that really the best way to relax and soak in the Season with my kids and Rob?

I’m caught trying to be the good daughter, the good niece (who makes it to every reunion), the good employee, and, oh yeah, the good wife and mother who’s not completely crazed and crabby because of all the packing and unpacking she’s doing.

With aging aunties and uncles, there is a level of importance to these functions that is often unspoken.  Yet I also know it takes a toll on the time that my little clan has together, just us.

Frankly, I don’t yet know what will come off the plate…..or will I again try to do it all?!
