Got a whopping 2 1/2 hours of "sleep." One of those nights where you swear you don't sleep, yet are surprised that the alarm wakes you up anyway. Our bags are packed--each big suitcase has a small wheeled suitcase inside for the kids to use on our return. We think it's all going to make the airline guidelines for size and weight. The luggage is all on loan from other sources, so it better all make it.
Yesterday was full of last minute errands, including another trip to the hardware store, another trip to the photocopy store, and another trip to Fred Meyers to get them to remove the anti-shoplifting tag from our girl's Court Dress. I did not shoplift the dress, by the way. Then ANOTHER trip to Fred Meyers by me, this time mostly to kill time after dinner, but I wound up getting some children's meds and a bathmat. And a toothbrush holder. And some jelly beans, because we realized that the airlines will only be feeding us once on this whole trip there and back. Crazy--not even on the overseas flight coming home.
The house is reasonably clean, the things that didn't get done will wait. The front porch light is on, and we're ready for our ride. It takes some serious heroism to volunteer to get up early enough to pick up travelers at 4 am. As with so many steps along the way, we have a lot to thank our friends and family for.
