5 days

Five days left! I finally got the clothes in the drawers for Marie last night. Jeremy also wired the light in. I have a couple more things to do and then we should be done the room. I keep saying this, but truly it might be actually getting there! Ryan and Paul are starting to get nervous about us going. And I am starting to get nervous about leaving them. I have never left them for this long ever. Even though it is really really super early in the morning, I think I will let them come to the airport with us. I think it will help them to say goodbye to us there, rather than saying goodnight/goodbye and waking up and just finding us not there. We have been talking with them quite a bit about what it will be like for them both when we are gone and when we first come back. I am worried about when we come home, because they will be on a different time zone than us and my parents/sister will be exhausted from looking after two energetic boys for 17 days. I suppose we will have to take sleeping shifts. Meals will be another challenge. I imagine we will all be hungry at different times. If I had had more time, I would have prepared some meals ahead of time for after but I just ran out of time (besides, as most of you know I view cooking as one of those necesary evils; one to be postponed until the last possible second).
