the ups and downs and ups

Hanging over my head has been this whole Cancun trip. I really want to go, yet my "mom guilt" takes over...do I really need to spend the money on myself? Do I need to be gone right now? Do I need to miss our last pep rally and game? Do I need to miss my 2 younger kids last soccer games? How is Corey going to get everything done without me here?
I have been going round and round with it. I stalked the orbitz.com website trying to find the best ticket price. I stressed over each dollar I was going to spend. I had to buy the ticket and then still drive to Dallas, pay for parking etc... What was I thinking???
So I decided that I would base my decision on Corey's last game. If he won and went to the National Tournament, I would not go to Cancun and go to the tourney with him.
Saturday morning: got a speeding ticket. Now this is not too bad to say if you (idk) HAVE A DRIVERS LICENSE!!!! The police are not too happy to pull someone over who doesn't have a driver's license. (Or maybe they are but I am not) Well, last nail in coffin...no Cancun trip when you have to pay multiple tickets to the fine city of Tyler.
Super fun time on Saturday stunt clinic with good friend John Blake. I think I learned as much as the girls did! It was a great way to take my mind off of Cancun trip for 8 hours.
Sunday: day of game... Corey's team loses on overtime and shootouts. Okay Cancun could possibly still be on???
Monday: still stalking Orbitz.com. Tickets are TOOOOOO expensive. Definitely NOT going.
Tuesday: My sub calls and says she cannot sub for me after all for Cancun trip. Okay really NOT going.
Wednesday: really want to go so bad! I go to school and check with a different sub...he CAN sub. Check ticket prices and (gasp) under $300.00 bucks!!!!!! Book it Immediately! (even though flight leaves Dallas at 7:00, be there by 5:30 meaning leave Tyler at 3:30am and get up (stay up) at 2:30.... oh well, I am going to Cancun!
Thursday: Went to dmv to take drivers test (yes I have to re-take written and driving test). Lady is nice, and asks me KEY question: Have you ever had a Texas driver's license? Why yes I have...okay renew old license, take cute picture, pay $24.00 and BAM license in hand!!!!! YEA!
I do something amazingly nice for ex-boss (find him judges for an event he has on Saturday and no one to judge) and he BOOKS ME A HOTEL ROOM IN DALLAS ON TUESDAY!!!!! Yea! So that the above doesn't have to happen and I can also park my car at the hotel!
Friday: Call about ticket.
IF I go to defensive driving school ticket will be only $111.00 and WILL NOT show on my record therefore not raising my insurance. Whew.

So> I am going to Cancun!!!!!
