California Knows How to Party

Keep it rockin’
in the city of Compton

Yeah, my big bro had me scared. He asked where I was going in CA. I didn’t know. I said it was close to the LAX airport- he commented that the City of Compton was near the airport. Huh? Really? Wow. Okay, lots of cities are close to LAX. No need for alarm, no need to worry. Okay, I'm worried. I must look into the details. Initially I wasn’t that interested, I mean I have to travel ALONE for goodness sakes and I have to be away from my kids. I've never been away from them (Kole traveled with my parents two times I think years ago and there has been an overnight thing here and there but I've never left my kids at home while I went away). Now I know the Captain will be there but Mommies are important. Mommies are needed. What will they do? I'm overvaluing myself huh?

Anyway, the training on this software (that I know very little about) sounds pretty tough too so I'm also concerned about that. The whole thing sounded like lots of opportunities for things to go wrong. But that is the worrier in me.

Yesterday at Church I (well the whole congregation) was told NOT to worry. I always justify my worries but calling them concerns but I know that isn’t really the point. So I’ll follow my Dad’s words of wisdom and I won’t borrow trouble.

Now I’m not worried, I’m in fact trying to get excited. Trying to get excited about staying on the beach, in the middle of great places to shop and wonderful places to eat (well at least the City’s Website said so). We’ll see. In anycase I should come out ahead on the amount of money they give you a day to spend- I’m so cheap (and so poor) that every penny counts.

Plus, I suppose in the least this will be a great learning experience. My heart is already aching at the idea of being away from my boys though. Have I said it enough- I am not so sure about being away from my boys?
