Night before THE BIG VACATION!

So it's the night before the "vacation" that I don't want to go on. I am so anxious and nervous about going. I get so anxious and high blood pressure when the skids are around anyways that I feel like I'm going to have a heartack being in a place that's out of my element and having to deal with them ALL WEEK LONG!

I do have to say that my Mom pulled through for me today though. She knows how anxious and torn up I've been about going on this "vacation" and she came up with a brilliant plan today. She called me this afternoon and asked me how many bedrooms our cabin has...then she asked how much my BF likes her...so I'm like ok why all the questions? So she said that she would be willing to drive 6 hours up to our vacation spot and stay 2 days and create a crisis that I would have to leave with her if I felt I couldn't handle being there with the kids anymore. She's never been a SM so I don't know how she can sympathize or empathize with my situation but she definitely pulled through for me today! Maybe because we are so close and she knows how I feel about the skids. Actually she really doesn't like the skids either but never shows them or my BF that. She actually said she prefers to be around my Dad and SM's kids before being around my skids. I really don't blame her...I'd rather be around my half-sibings too. They are so better behaved than the skids...and 2 of my siblings are younger than my BF's kids!

Not sure what I'm asking for tonight but advice on how to handle this upcoming week and support because I NEED it!

I don't know what to say about your situation...BUT I ADORE YOUR MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She sounds like an awesome woman. *hugs to her* and *to you*

All I can think to do is wish you luck...and send you warm thoughts and prayers. I dislike that your down time isn't going to be relaxing at all, but I am thrilled to hear your mom is going along to help. I hope her presence helps you!

BEST of luck!

My Mom has proven more times than she ever needs to that she is a God sent person! She is willing to leave her farm, which she basically takes care of by herself, and be by my side and help me out for my sanity. My God sent SD would take care of the farm for a couple of days but I know how much strain it'd put on him and he's willing to do it too for my sanity. I just have to say I feel SO blessed for my family and would not trade them for the world. I wish my "blended family" could just get along as well as my "blended family"...but I have to remember what my dad says...I was brought up with class and dignity and have to be a role model and example of that.
