We are going to a state park and campground that has cabins and yurts. They are very reasonably priced and some of them sleep enough for our family to all stay in one. If we go off season the price per night is $20 less than the 'tourist' season, as well.

We've had a tough time finding hotels where we can all stay, and we only have 5 kids. We don't fly because we can't afford to...and I hate to fly. I don't want to think about flying with my kids and their varying degrees of cognitive ability. I dread going to any large public area with some of my kids because they don't stay with us and are almost impossible to corral at the best of times let alone during vacation when they are over-the-top with excitement. Where's the frazzled, sleep deprived, over anxious little gray haired smilie? In fact, we've sometimes hired our nieces to travel with us for out of town weekends because we need one adult per child for some of them.

I wish we had limitless funding for vacations, but we don't, so we are going camping at a state park and staying in a furnished cabin!

I expected that there would be times like this - but I never thought they'd be so bad, so long, and so frequent.

Pressure can turn a lump of coal into a flawless diamond, or an average person into a perfect basket case.

I used to have a handle on life, but it fell off.
