The last couple of months have been CRAZY!
Let's start with bringing the boy to college. His college in in Washington and it's roughly 16 hours from me. That, my friends, is a LONG way away!
We decided to take 2 days to get up there and then Bossman and I decided to take a vacation on the way home and take a couple extra days. That plan was all fine and dandy until I got sick the Monday before we were to leave. Now, we weren't planning on leaving until Friday, so I figured I would be fine. By Wed. I wasn't so sure. I went to the doc and they gave me some antibotics. I figured that by the weekend I would be ok. HA! We left on Friday with me still pretty sick. We drove 9 hours that day. Mrs Coughy was having a GREAT time!!!
I wasn't too sick to enjoy the scenery.
Next day, we drove another 7 hours. FUN! Meanwhile, I still wasn't feeling good. But we made it! That night, I decided that instead of helping the boy move into his dorm I would stay at the hotel and rest. Bossman helped him move in and he met his roommate and they sent me videos and pictures so I wouldn't feel too left out!
Next morning, I really felt bad. I had been on a zpack and if you know what that is, you know that it's an antibiotic that you take for 5 days. Well folks, I took my last one and I felt worse! So Bossman took me to an urgent care and they gave me some stronger meds!
It was early enough in the morning that I didn't have to wait and Bossman didn't miss the activities with the boy. I went back to bed and by the afternoon I was ready to cough all over the world....
I did manage to walk around the boys campus with him.
Ok, I walked and he skateboarded.
I also got to meet his roommate. He seems nice!
The next morning was time to say goodbye. I will admit to tears. It was hard.
Then it was time for us to hit the road home. Now this is the point of the trip when we should have headed home. BUT, we had reservations at numerous hotels and they were all non-refundable. So like the trooper I am, I carried on.
We went to Idaho to visit some of Bossman family. Then we went to Reno. Then we went to Sacramento. Then we finally got home! Needless to say it was a long week. Even though I was sick, we did have fun. We won a bit of money in Reno, and we didn't have to think about the boy being gone until we got home.
It was quite the adventure! AND that was over a month ago. This weekend is Parent weekend so we are heading up to see my BOY!!!!! I'm super excited to see him and also, we aren't driving! Well, we are flying and then driving but only for 4 hours! We leave tomorrow morning and will be back on Monday!
I'll try to blog more, I have more to share and unfortunately none of it has to so with spanking! I'll let you know how the visit went! Have a great weekend!!!
HUGS!
