Pam, everyone else gave some good advice and I just wanted to agree... go have fun. Surely you will worry a a little about the boys but this gives them an opportunity to both miss you and to be independent. Thanks for all your helpful advice this year... go reward yourself for weathering the storm on teenagerdom. By the way, I like the photo of your boys in the apple orchard. They are some nice looking guys!

It's sad but not all terrible parents were raised by terrible parents. My Mom fails into the terrible parent group - she drank & shouldn't have had even the 1 child she had. She would be angry to hear me say that but it is true. However, my Grandmother was amazing & Mom will admit it. She will also say her Dad was wonderful too. I'm glad my Gram had a lot of impact in my life or my kids might have had a terrible Mom too.
