Leaving in a Lexus…
All my bags aren’t packed, I’m not ready to go. A load of laundry I still need to do…okay, that’s my feeble attempt at rewriting the words to the song, leaving on a jet plane…
Can’t believe my trip is finally here! In two days I’ll be headed out and I covet your prayers for traveling mercies, great weather, and NOT getting lost! Tonight I hope to finish getting my house and laundry in order so I can pack my suitcase and spend some time with the family. I’m sure the full impact of three weeks away hasn’t hit any of us. It’s the first time I’ll be away for more than five days and while I’ve got everything worked out on paper, I’m sure I’ll be going over their schedules in my head and making phone calls, sending out text reminders, and skyping.
Three weeks gone.
I know my boys will do fine and hopefully will love the unlimited Wii, computer and tv time they’ll no doubt have, but my little girl is the one I’m worried about the most. She’s definitely a mama’s girl and loves to play with friends’. Thankfully she’ll be going to a day camp for the first two weeks when I’m gone. I’m sure she’ll be having too much fun to worry too much about me, until bedtime. Usually she sleeps with my pillow when I’m away, but I’ll be packing it and told her she could sleep with my pillow case. She loves to be close to my scent. Awww, that just makes my heart melt. I hope she doesn’t grow up too much while I’m gone.
I’ll be posting about my travels while I’m away, and trying to put up videos on Youtube or facebook!
What’s the longest you’ve been away from your family and how do you keep in touch while you’re away?
