My son is getting ready to leave for college, and my daughter leaves for a summer program on Sunday. So, trying to make schedules for what happens, when. Today is shopping with D to get the rest of what she needs for her 3 1/2 weeks away. Then we may do a little shopping with S, but plan to get most stuff shipped to him. He needs a doctor's appointment for a TB screening and to have them fill out the vaccination records. He needs plane tickets, and so do H and I if we are going to go down with him. The tentative plan is for us to fly Southwest so we can each check a bag, and H and I check bags filled with stuff for S, and have one carry-on for his stuff. H and I can share one carry on with stuff for us. We can then rent a car and get him to school and can go get him anything he really needs. Apparently there is no air conditioning. [For close to $50K a year, you would think they could afford air conditioning, wouldn't you?] So we will need to get some large box fans for him.

Meanwhile, H's family is in town. I love his younger brother, but dislike the disparity in how he treats his kids and his lazy parenting style. I dislike his older brother, period, although his wife is superficially quite sweet. She just laughs when the older brother, her H, is cruel to my MIL and his siblings. She says he is never like that except when he's around his family. Yeah, whatever. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE H's stepbrother, wife and little girl, so I am focusing on how great it is to spend time with them and trying to ignore the rest.

Hope everyone is having a good 4th weekend. Wikid, your night sounded really nice!

Oh, and Healed, I do agree with Wikid. We all have stuff we hide for one reason or another. It doesn't make us untrustworthy. I certainly would never tell H about being half in love with T or the discussions T and I have about our feelings for each other. Doesn't make me untrustworthy because I would never cheat on H.
