...to start the last loads of laundry and pack the suitcases. The kids are leaving tomorrow evening. In 24 hours we'll be on our way to the airport.
It's been fun, and stressful, and fun, and did I mention stressful?
There is no question that tomorrow will be a tough day for all of us. And I don't know why I'm even blogging about it. I guess it's because I don't have anything else to say. All my energy is currently (heh, nice pun, -ed.) channeled into this process of leaving.





You must be so disappointed! On the other hand, you have no excuse now not to go back to the gym.

I'm thinking about you, Alie!

Stressful because there were so many adjustments by so many people? I would imagine that it would have been wonderful,and poignant--but with very emotional, tough moments.

You're blogging because its theaputic. That's one of the reasons I do it. It's a great community who backs you up... and laughs at you when you fall down. But that's what friends are for.

Next you're going to try to say that things are going to return to "normal". Right. Normal. Can I have a beer, please.

You're not saying goodbye, you're saying see you soon. You're becoming yourself again with Allan, and some time alone with him only makes your relationship (and you) stronger.
Being with a happy Mom is better than being with a stressed Mom.

Hope the next few days go ok, will be thinking about you.

Hope the good-byes were not too painful.
And, by the way, I'd be mildly disappointed if you vanished from the blogosphere, since I discovered your blog only recently. I have often pondered about quitting blogging, which eats up way too much of my time (I may have to seriously cut down after school starts again), but I don't think I could ever do it, it's way too therapeutic.
