    I havent heard from him in 7  hours I dont even know if he made it there. It is our relationship. He calls. That is what he does. He calls when he gets somewhere and he calls to say goodnight.

  • Was he supposed to call you at a certain time or something?

    Yes.

    he is on the senior trip 

    Daisypath Vacation tickers
  • He's on a road trip with a bunch of high schoolers and you are wondering why he has not had a chance to chat?

    I'd call him around 11pm or later.  You have to be realistic.  I'm sure he has his hands full.

  • imagepoppyseed1017:

    He said he would call or text when he got there and before bed.

  • I'm betting his phone died, and he hasn't had a chance to charge it yet.

    there are only 12. he only had to take are of the 5 boys. They are all great kids. Not crazy. Am I not allowed to worry a lttle?

    Ohhhhh . . .Now I am worried.  Have you seen Deliverance?

    Cell service sucks in the mountains. He is fine.  You on the other hand are in bad need of a glass of wine . . . or six.

    This.

    I always tell DH I'm going to call him when I get somewhere and it's inevitable that I get busy with other things and don't have time to call.

     

  • i mean this in the nicest way possible, but you need to unclench. traveling with kids is safe, but exhausting. 

    chaperones arent on a fun vacation. they answer questions, worry about room assignments and are constantly saying things like we dont pee on our friends and no hoes are not an appropriate conversation topic for a school trip.

    hes busy. hes working. he will call when he gets a moment.

    Why are you anxious?

    Because I have an anxiety disorder and that is what happens when I start worrying.

  • He its traveling with bus loads of children. If it went off a cliff it would make CNN. I'm sorry you're concerned but he is working and I'm sure he'll call when he can.

  • I understand why you are worried because I myself tend to catastrophize (sp?) as well. But everyone is right, take a deep breath and relax. It is likely difficult for him to find a silent moment to even get his thoughts together (I'm assuming they are on a bus) and he will call as soon as he gets everyone there and situated. Try to do something to take your mind off of it so you quit watching the clock.
  • couples who can't be apart for more than 2 days without having a panic attack freak me out.

     

    weirdos.

    these aren't like middle schoolers. They are highschool seniors. Well behaved seniors.  But I know he is working.

  • Are you on medication for your anxiety disorder?  Did you and your H come to any agreement before he left regarding how often you would be in contact with one another?

    I know. I just wanted to put out the worry.

     this is me. I always worry about the worst possible thing that could happen.

  • Not being snarky, but do you take any meds for your anxiety? Is there anything you can do to calm down until you know something? Glass of wine helps me. 

    I'm positive that he is OK and I think you know that the chances of something actually happening to him a slim and that your worry is feeding itself.

    Breathe.
