You know when you have been working on something so long that you get past the point of really caring anymore and you just want to get it done? That is the point I have reached with our Pioneer Trek. We leave next week. We have been planning since October. I am ready to load the buses and go for it.
It isn't that I feel exceedingly confident that this will be a piece of cake. It won't. I am frankly a bit nervous how I will do physically, and more so emotionally. But I know that I am done talking about it.
We met five times this week--not counting the phone calls we've had--for last minute details, alterations, problems. It is too much,. Let's just go already! My brain is melting with all the trek info as it is.
This thought pattern will surely shift come Monday night when we are loading trailers and the reality of what I am going to have to do really settles in. Then I might just chicken out. No, not really, but I will certainly want to chicken out. But it is probably like getting into the pool at 6:45 AM. It is just easier on the system to jump in--dive in head first in fact--than try to ease into it.
Let's just go already.

I compare this kind of adventure to having a baby- it's got to get pretty bad, and you have to get sick of the preparation before you'll be begging to get it over with :) I know when all is over and done with, we'll be glad for the experience and look back with fond memories :) xoxoxo see you Tuesday :) we'll have each other to comisserate with.
