Late Night Thoughts

Erik and I went to the parentals room to throw on some special Tahitian oil with magical healing powers, tamaru oil, I believe. I rubbed some on Erik's back in hopes it helps his back heal. I put it on my finger that doesn't seem to want to heal since having an allergy to fake nails. I put some on the other night and i wish I had a before and after picture because it made quite a difference in one day. I'm hoping after a day or two more that it completely heals.

Ugh and two days in a row where my tummy has been upset. Maybe it's the oil 😂 no, it's not. I think I have some kind of bug. With the congestion and this cough and now tummy issues. It's not getting me down though. I'm still very much enjoying this vacation. I miss my kids, though. A lot. I also miss our dog. A lot.

I enjoy vacationing with my dad because I know one day he won't be here anymore. That day better be 40 years from now, but I want to create these memories with him to always reminisce on. Plus, I get to hang out with my stepmom and she is just so dang adorable.

I also know that one day all my kids will be grown up and moved out of our house and it will just be Erik and I. I hope my kids can see that Erik and I prioritize our relationship by taking trips for just the two of us. I really would like for them to do the same for themselves in the future.

I love taking my kids on vacation, and I love that we have them involved in 4-H. I want them to experience as much as possible. If we didn't co-parent our kids, I think we would homeschool them and just travel the world with them. That would be cool.

Okay, I went down a rabbit hole here thinking about home. I have 2 more weeks of this trip and I can't get caught up being sad. My kids are having a good time with their other parents and they know I love them. I try to send them a message as often as I can so they know they aren't forgotten. Also, Easton is watching our place for us so it's important that he knows how much we love him and appreciate him. I just hope he ate all the food in the house and is using the house as much as he wants. We have some great kids.

Okay now I am done. Time for bed!もっと詳しく
