Not ready yet...

I'm leaving in about 29 hours for my first trip out of the country. I'm panicking a bit. My washer just broke (with many loads left to go), my car brakes just went out today(ok, some of these stories just keep repeating...is this real??) and I can't remember the people who have told me my parents and in-laws could call them in case of emergency or they need help or have questions. So, some of you may just get a call without asking for it. :) These things seem a bit trivial but there are so many t's to cross and i's to dot before I can get on the plane. In addition to the sheer madness I am a bit emotional and keep telling all my friends and family how much I love them. Oh, and the kids are all crazy and naughty this weekend acting like we're already gone. I think my parents are already ready for their re-inforcements which aren't coming until next weekend.

Life will soon be a long airplane ride and a hotel with a spa. And I'll miss my little ones with all I am, I'm sure.
