between vacations

I’m kind of in limbo.

On the one hand I don’t have a lot to do between the end of our rafting trip and the beginning of my “real vacation.” But at the same time it would be inappropriate for me to just not show up to work.

I am dog tired.

In the last two days we drove from Romeo to the middle of no where West Virginia (is there a somewhere in WV?) and back. Sandwiched between there was a day of rafting, good eating and a great, great sunset. The rafting itself was pretty good. It was relaxation mixed with trepedation. My boatmates were very fearful but we all made it through ok. The kids paniced and the moms mothered. A good time was had by all. I completely enjoyed the wipe out of Lisa R. and Patti K. I think that made the whole trip for me. Not that I enjoyed seeing them suffer, but I did enjoy them getting into the action. I had a big fear that they would kind of just be disconnected from the whole thing… but that really dragged them into the experience.

It was obvious that I didn’t take my normal crew of adults. It only emphasized how much my team likes to be together and how much difference a team makes.
