Well, it's been THAT kind of week! Lilah finished up camp today and I'm basically finished up work now... Yippeeeeee!
I had two sleepless nights last weekend - everything I had to do, buy and pack were running through my head like a pack of wild horses and I was feeling a little bit anxious! So I made out a few lists and I felt much better about everything.
The 'feeling better' part is mostly because I'm being proactive about the lists I wrote and have taken on a job every evening, to accomplish! Although, it seems as I strike things off, I'm adding new things onto the list! It's now down to a week and a half before we leave for China... YIKES! I'm beyond excited and a little nervous all at once! But I do like to be organized, I mean REALLY organized and I know I will have plenty of last minute things to do to keep me on my toes over the next while.
Next week I have a bit more to do, but I'm going to try and keep a good bit of my week open to just relaxing and enjoying my last week with my beautiful big girl, Lilah Grace. She is doing amazing - she just finished up her last week of camp and my oh my, she is in need of a week of rest and relaxation! She is worn out. Every night, by 7pm, she can hardly get to bed quick enough. I'm so glad I'm able to spend this coming week with her, just her and I, before our sweet Phebe joins our family. Speaking of our sweet new girly, we got new pictures of her 2 weeks ago and I can't stop looking at her.
Lilah looks so grown up in these pictures.
ReplyDeleteJill, I think you are travelling with a friend of ours. She leaves next week as well and is with CB too.
Best wishes on your travels to Phebe!
Oh Jill!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feeling with your head spinning like crazy these final days before travel. I will be praying that you make progress on your lists and enjoy these last few days with Lilah. It's a juggling act, for sure.
