In 4 days we will be packing up and going on our first trip of the summer to NY. This trip will be fun and emotional. One thing it won't be is relaxing. I actually had to make a schedule of what/who/when/where for each day. It is so hard to plan with little ones and know that they are just going to be dragged around all day and rolling with whatever kooky plans we might come up with.
Next Saturday I get to go through my mom's stuff. I AM ANXIOUS! My mom was pretty private and at times I felt like I had to drag things out of her, so I'm really curious about what I will find. Will her two bowling trophies be there(one of them was a family joke because it could fit into the palm of your hand)? I wonder if she still has her bowling ball. How many needle points are there and how will we decide who gets what? Will all of her favorite music be in good shape for me to reminisce over. Will I be able to go through boxes of her papers while listening to some golden oldies? This adventure that I am about to embark on reminds me of a treasure hunt because I'm just not sure what will be there. Now if only there was a road map that could direct me through all of the emotions I will encounter as I see these things...
