Graduation day is tough for adults. They go to the ceremony as parents. They come home as contemporaries. After nineteen years of child-rearing, they are unemployed.
We are having a TREK day.
I am taking neice & kid to zoo. Ride the train. Have a ball. Enjoy the day!! I will post later how the day went.
Enjoy the day!! You just never know!!

They day was good. Until I loss my brain cells and brought home another thing to add to the craziness of this household. SHould have stayed at the over packed zoo longer and NOT went to Wal-Mart that passes the APA.
Things went very well considering.
I cancelled my therapy when I woke up as I was feeling under the weather. I didn't want to move out of the house. Then I looked at Calendar .. and there it sat .. circled .. TREK day.
Yes that all raced through my mind as I stood staring at calendar. So what did I do? I promptly placed the medicine back on the counter. Called son to kitchen, and asked ...
"What are we doing today?" Just you & I. You have my total attention.
As we walked out door and backed out of our driveway .. I knew .. I knew I did the right thing.
We ended up at the $ store. Where son got some dry erase markers, erasers, and color pencils. We did one stop for dad as he asked if we were out and about could we please make this stop for him. Then we grabbed some lunch. We talked. We talked about all the things happening lately, school, kids, etc .. It was really nice. Then off to movies. Kid really wanted to see "Shaggy Dog".
After that .. son knowing I was really feeling awful he did the most unselfish thing I have ever seen him do. He could have said he wanted to go do something else. But instead suggested we go home, snuggle up in my bed & watch a movie until time to go pick-up daddy. I of course snagged on that in a heartbeat!! Of course did I make it through the opening credits of movie? No! *smile* But it was nice to lay there next to son and snuggle up.
It was a nice day. Kid and dad went to hockey game in the evening and I finally took that sinus medicine and went to bed.

I saw this on DandelionSeeds blog and thought it was a great idea.
A Mother's T.R.E.K. (Totally Random Events with Kids) is dedicated to mother's who are experiencing a deep struggle or trial in their life. Through their story, we will encourage them, but also be reminded of how important our "trek" as mothers truly is.
I think this is a wonderful idea. I am at a lose for words on this story. I can not imagine the grief this family is going through. They are in my thoughts and prayers.
