72 hours

72 hours until flying! And guess where I spent this a.m.? At the doctors. I have a very painful ear infection. With 3 flights ahead of me Tuesday, I have been debating since last Wednesday about going to the doctors, but last night it was very clear it was time to go. With list and lists of stuff to be done today, the Lord blessed me and I was in & out in less than 20 minutes!! Unheard of in that doctors office!

I have not taken one of these meds before and within minutes of taking it, (at the pharmancy) it was upsetting my stomach. Hoping this gets better or it will be a long 5 days!

N, our 9 yr old is getting to be very clingy and upset as the time gets closer. We are hoping he will settle in today as he helps get us ready. It’s just getting very real to him the amount of time we will be gone.  We have heard Skype can make it better, or worse, depending. We hope it will help him feel more secure talking to us from over there.

D, our son we are going to get, has gotten strangely quite and not been on Skype in 2 days. We know millions of things must be going through his mind right now with the becoming more “real” each day. It’s a lot for a 14 yr old to handle. If he does not come back to Skype tomorrow we’ll call him to talk. Or, it could be he’s grounded again as he was supposed to get his final grades for 8th grade yesterday. 🙂  And he let me know they were “not going to be good.” It’s been a tough year all around, and he has moved schools 3 times this year. I have told him to not worry, and we will work on all that he needs help in when he is home.

Home, I really like that word!! We are looking forward to 2 months of “Peaceful Family life.” Hehe, anyone who knows us knows we are not a very quiet and peaceful family, but a very active one. We are hoping to take the next 2 months to really devote to our family and grow together.

Off to the lists and check a few more items off!

Blessings
