Relaxed, for so many reasons!

The One Philly Family is mere hours away from a fabulous vacation in Mexico. The dog sitter is set up, the bags are packed, the laundry is done, we're almost ready to set the alarm for really-freakin-early-o'clock and we are ready to go!

Beyond that though, we've reached a real level of relaxation, acceptance and comfort. For example, I have been traveling with One Philly Daddy long enough to know he doesn't stress about it. He throws some stuff in a bag and goes. Even after repeated trips taught the same lesson (sort of. He never packs enough socks or t-shirts, we can never remember which), he doesn't stress. I stress about packing. Especially with One Philly Son. How many diapers are enough? Which toys will keep him happy on the plane?

And I also know that One Philly Daddy's stress will begin when we wake up tomorrow and won't end until we've passed security at the airport and are at the gate eating breakfast.

The point being, we've been together long enough to really know each other well enough to anticipate, expect, accept and roll with the things that stress each of us out.

And that is truly relaxing.
