A crazy day? We won't go there. All I can say is that THANKFULLY I got a pedicure and my car got washed. (I am a weirdo and my car gets washed at least twice a week whether it is needed or not but you should expect that from a girl who calls her car "Gangsta"). That said I wanted to post a few last minute pictures for you to view. It has been an emotional day. I think of what is about to happen and get all sappy.... I think about Luke and leaving him and get all sappy.... I pray for David's parents (my WONDERFUL IN-LAWS) and the journey they have with caring for him while we are gone and at the same time caring for David's sister Peggy who is battling colon cancer. I pray for my sister Lisa who is battling MS. MS STINKS....it is trying to get the best of her but she won't let it. I pray for my dad. I pray for my brother who has been pretty sick too (we got my mom's genes which aren't too pretty in the sick department). I pray for my office and wonderful staff whom I know can do it all and do it all well while I am gone. I pray for my boss and our reps on the road and the struggles they encounter daily. I pray for my friends who are going through this with us and are as emotional as we are. I pray for Mr. Howard who is fighting back after some heart issues. The list goes on but there has been an awful lot of praying. I pray for Jennifer in Alabama whom I adore and have never met. I hope I am allowed to see her dear sweet Alice at the orphanage. I hope they will let me take pictures of her and if I could just hug her and kiss her for her mom it would be fabulous!
Maran's Minney Luggage...you can barely see her name on the luggage but I love the luggage tag. The owl matches the owls in her room. This rolling back pack is FULL of toys.
This is our luggage...ready to go. It is after midnight here but it is already in the car. After all, we leave in about four hours. (clearly not in the car at photo time).
How could I leave out Snickerdoodle Luke? This was the worst part of the day and the saddest. THE FLU SHOT. When we got to the Dr. Luke said "Mommy please don't make me go back there". OH MY! He was so sweet and his eyes were the size of saucers. Then he would grin and those dimples just got me. He cried FOREVER. I got him back to my office and my boss, whom Luke calls "BUDDY", finally calmed him down and got him to sleep. He must have held him for an hour. (I got so much done during that time). I felt horrible. It was so sad and the tears were real. I just wanted to cry myself. He truly was in pain as it was the "I'm hurt cry". You know the same cry that he did when the Coo Coo Clock fell on his head and busted it open which resulted in stitches..... (another story for another day). OK, going to bed for about three hours I hope. I bet I won't fall asleep as I will be too scared to "OVERSLEEP". Let the travel day begin! Sweet Dreams!!
