I think I can, I think I can...

  D left for Thailand today and I'm nervous.  Sky and I are own for a week and then we're flying to Thailand to join him.  I am really scared that she is going to push my buttons all over the place and I'm not going to be able to just let it go.  She was what D and I call "a pistol" yesterday and I was shorter with her a lot more than I should have been and I don't want that to be the pattern for the week.  I'm also worried about flying with her for so long on my own and navigating new airports where we don't speak the language and to have us be tired of each other by then will only make that anxiety worse. 
  Luckily, we're going to be pretty busy and I'm hoping that will help.  Tonight her best friend P and her mom are coming over for dinner and tomorrow is her afternoon with Ms Cherie.  Friday is Thanksgiving, which we're spending with friends, and on Saturday, Santa arrives on island (by fishing boat, of course!).  P's birthday party is on Sunday and Ms Cherie will be watching her for a few hours on Monday.  Hopefully, all that will be enough of a distraction for both of us!
  I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
