How do you know when.......

How do you know when you are about to leave in 3 days to fly over the ocean to meet your daughter?

When you are in the pharmacy parking lot after picking up antibiotics to travel with (just in case) and you call your husband.  You hold your phone with your shoulder because you are in a panic looking for something.  You are still managing to hold a conversation with your husband but you are really freaking out because "where could it be".  You take out everything in your purse and lay it all over the car seat.  Oh my - it's not there.  You think to your self "did I leave it in the pharmacy".  And then you come to a more realistic conclusion - you probably left it at work.  So after being on the phone for 8 minutes while looking and starting to have some anxiety - you decide to share what you have lost with your husband.  And you say "Where the heck is my phone - I have looked every where".  There is a dead silence on the other end.  Then you realize - the phone you have been looking for like a wild woman is right on your shoulder and you have been talking on it during this complete freak show. 

That's when you know that you are about to go on the biggest and best adventure of your life!!!!!!



Oh, My sister arrived last night!!!  Thank GOD and Thank you for all your prayers!!!!

Okay, 2 days and we are getting on a plane to meet our PRINCESS!!!  Oh my, Oh my - This is really it - This is what I have been praying and waiting for - My DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE!!!!!!!

CRACKING UP - SITTING HERE TRYING TO DISLODGE A PIECE OF PAPER OUT OF MY PRINTER THAS IS JAMMED (RIGHT AFTER I OPENED YOUR BLOG TO READ) AND YOUR MUSIC WAS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND AND IT WAS DRIVING ME CRAZY BECAUSE I WAS SO MAD ABOUT THE PAPER SO I QUICKLY LOOKED OVER TO READ YOUR BLOG SO I COULD SHUT OFF THE PAGE SO I COULD CONCENTRATE ON GETTING THE PAPER OUT OF THE PRINTER AND NOW I'M SITTING HERE CRACKING UP!!
