We are off to Chicago this afternoon for a 48 hour whirlwind adventure.
Being true to my nature, I am more tense about it than excited right now. It feels like an elephant is dancing a jig on my lower back. Though this time for slightly different reasons than the last trip.
My anxieties:
1) Missed naps.
2) Loss of baby infrastructure.
3) Containment of baby in the un-baby-proof house.
4) “Strange” people trying to put Grace to bed.
5) A cold and raining game.
6) Not getting to sleep until late, with an early morning baby wake-up.
7) Just trying to cram way too much into the time there.
The list could just keep going too. Even ignoring the obvious things I can’t change, like the weather, I feel like I can’t change anything on the list. We are not going to go buy $200 worth of baby crap for 1 day. We are not going to get back to my parent’s before midnight. We are not going to be able to cut essential activities out of the trip.
And so it is. I'll just have to suck it up. Our adventure begins at 1 pm this afternoon.
Damn Cubs better not disappoint. Or I’d better get drunk enough not to care.

Want some cheese with your whine?
If it makes you feel any better, they've taken the rain out of the forecast, it should be upper 50's at gametime, and we will be back at your parents before midnight.
I was suppose to go to Chi-town earlier in the year, but it didn't pan out.
