It's here! I'm off of school for two blessed weeks; no lesson planning, no kids to chase down, no late afternoons staying after school to sell basketball game tickets or attend Christmas concerts or tutor. No stress.
Wait! Did I say no stress? Tomorrow I leave to visit my sweet, sweet grandson, and of course his wonderful parents who gave him to me. BUT - A snowstorm is heading northeast as I write this. I have images of flight delays, sleepovers in airports, and lost luggage dancing through my head. My 3-hour layover in Cleveland looks like a likely night stopover instead, since it also has a storm forecast tomorrow. Instead of a dream trip, this could turn into a nightmare! I just packed a whole package of my migraine meds, because I just might need them all!
But, why not put a positive spin on this all? Waiting on the other side of it all, will be my family. I know I'll eventually get there, even if it might be a bit later than I planned. And I know it will all be very much worth it. The trip could be a horrible disaster, or it could be a grand adven-
ture. It all depends on what I make of it. I plan to make the best of it, and enjoy whatever comes my way. For now, I guess I'd better just finish my packing and go ahead with my plans. When tomorrow comes we'll find out what comes with the day.
A Blessed Christmas Season to all who read this message.

Just make sure you put a pair of underwear and pjs in your carry-on, in case you get stuck somewhere without your luggage! And your Jodi Picoult book, of course. Those hours will fly by with that along.
