Anxiety attacks and Positivity.

Lets sum up the last couple days: Anxiety attacks and Positivity. Lets start with-

Anxiety attacks:
1. Flying (with a change of planes in Phoenix) to California and then on the return flight we have another change of planes.
2. Flying by myself with a TODDLER!! Yikes. She has done great on the other flights we have taken her on, but I had backup and she wasnt able to walk yet.
3. I am going to be gone for almost a week with a toddler...food, diapers, naps, cribs, milk, enough clothes/bibs/jammies....
4. Getting all of our stuff packed and ready to go for our trip and clean the house.
5. Find the right words for my sweet family in such a difficult time for everyone <3.
6. Figuring out what to wear!! I dont want to be too black, because we are celebrating a life!! But, its a somber occasion, so I guess hawaiian print is out.

Positivity:
1. Its an adventure!! I get to challenge myself in new situations, which really doesn't happen that often.
2. Ella and I get to spend a couple days with our family, and that is always a great treat!!
3. There are margaritas in California, too.
4. We still get to make it to Houston for my Dad's band's gig, the Ren Fest and most importantly, El Palenque!!
5. We have the resources and flexibility that Ella and I are able to hop on a plane and take a week to visit with family and friends.
6. All this stress could cause me to lose a couple pounds, which will just be gained back due to margaritas and El Palenque...but then I guess its a wash.
7. I get to spend the week with the most important people in my life. :) And for that, I will take all the anxiety in the world. I love you all.
