"Roadtrip"

I think were planning on visiting my folks in Eastern Washington State this weekend. It's been a while since we visited last, not to mention- My father in-law Ted will be in town this weekend. I can't believe that it has been six weeks since our housefire...and the construction guys have only put in about three days worth of work. Don't they realize that I have my entire family living at my mother in-laws house?

There has been a bit of a controversey over our planned trip out of town. You see, after our last trip, Monica kinda promised my nephew Cameron, that he could go on the next trip. Bad idea.

Calvin and Cameron are sharing a bedroom right now, and they are on the brink of inflicting senseless bodily harm upon each other - they need time apart...not a vacation together - especially a vacation I am chaperoning. My Dad and Step-mother Kim, have an 11-year-old son (my step-brother); Matt... Matt and Calvin are best friends...and I predict that if you add Cameron into the mix, tempers will flare, feelings will get hurt...blood will be spilled.

What is the point of leaving town for the weekend, when you are forced to haul all of the aggrivation you are trying to escape?
