Two Days

In a little over two days I will be loading up the van with my luggage, my children, and my tears. Jeff and the kids will take us (my friend Ashley is going with me) to the airport for our 8:30 pm departure flight. As usual, the closer it gets the more I second guess myself. I know I will miss them so much. Will they be okay without me? What if something happens while I'm gone? Jeff is a great dad, but after so many days with them I worry he will lose patience. Yes, let's remind me that He is in control, not me, so what am I worried about? My prayers will be that everything will be fine and Jeff will find it in himself to be extra patient and just have fun with them. The kids gave him a Wii for Father's Day (yes, they used most of their own money......yes, it took some persuading.), so I'm sure they will enjoy that.

For my part I will have all laundry done, fridge full, and house (somewhat) clean. I have two days to do it, plus pack my suitcase......with what, I'm not sure; nothing fits me now......and Jeff is working pretty much up until I leave. Who needs sleep?

Praying you have a safe, fun, worry-free trip.

He'll do great -- esp. with that Wii! I envy you the trip, though I know it's hard to be away from the kiddos. Let us know how it went!
