We will be on a plane heading to China!!!
I really have been going 90 to nothing this past week, and my mind is still racing. I have wanted to make a post, saying all of the thing that have been running through my head, but I have not had a second of free time to sit still, much less sit at the computer and type out my thoughts and feelings.
I worry about my girls. Lily was sick last week, and now Madilyn. I hate it when they are sick when I am at home, how can I leave when my little girl doesn't feel good?
She started to do better today, so I hope it keeps up.
I was also not feeling great yesterday, but I really think mine problem is nerves.
I am still working on packing our bags. They are mostly done, and are under or just at the weight limit. The checked bags that is, our carry ons are over. Who in their right mind would limit carry on bags to 10 freakin pounds? Ours aren't even full, only really have a few things in them, but they are over by several pounds. Oh well, if we have to pay, then so be it, I'm tired of worrying about them. I will try to post a quick goodbye with some photos tomorrow before we go.
We decided to check Lily out of school early so she could go to the airport with us. I felt bad because she knew that Madilyn was going to get to go.
I started tearing up this afternoon when I was waiting to pick her up from school. I'm sure there will be quite a few tomorrow too! I've never left my babies before, except for a quick weekend getaway, and it is hitting me harder than I was expecting it to.
We are taking a small laptop, and we will be speaking and seeing them hopefully everday on it.
I bought the girls little surprises for every day that we are gone. The first is kids digital cameras. I figured they could take photos to show us what they did while we were gone. Some of them have an Asian theme to them. One is a globe, so they can understand how far we are from home.
Well it is getting late here, and my dryer just told me that the last load of clothes are dry, so I better go get more done, then hit the sack.

ReplyDeleteBe Safe!
oh, this is bringing back so many memories!!!
ReplyDeleteThe worse part of it all was leaving my kids. I lost it and was HYSTERICAL when I said goodbye to them.
It's so hard. You are like me - we don't leave our babies :0(
I don't remember them weighing our carry-ons. They weighed our check-in, but I can't remember the carry-ons?????
Take pics of everything - even things you normally wouldn't. That is the one thing I regret - wish I would have taken more pics.
Good luck!!
Kisses my friend! We are ALL thinking of you guys!!!!!
Safe travels! Can't wait to hear all about your trip and see your beautiful daughter with her momma.
ReplyDeleteToday is the day! It's overwhelming but so unlike any other trip you'll ever take! So thankful you'll be able to talk to your girls while away! It will be wonderful for all of you and the baby too!
ReplyDeleteBeyond thrilled for you! You're going to China!!! My heart aches to pack up Hannah and go with you. It is a beautiful country with even more beautiful people!! Enjoy every moment and capture what you can. I wish I had taken video diaries of the days I was just too tired to blog. Just a thought...
