Today is the last day to get everything ready to go tomorrow. i will have no time in the morning tomorrow to really do anything. i will be getting up at like 4:30 am to make sure i am showered and dressed, and everything is packed. i will be getting the MIT up around 5 to get Him ready to go. my Mom and Dad and Sis will be getting here about 6:15 to load up the van so we can be at the airport around 9:00 am. Our flight is at 11:30.
Last night, P and E came over for a little bit. They stayed for dinner and went home to celebrate Valentine's day. They are such a cute couple. i am glad they came over when they did. It gave me a push to clean the bathroom and the living room a little bit.
i have got to get a few last minute things done today. Stuff i just haven't been motivated (and really still am not motivated) to get for the trip, and to make sure bread is in the house for when we come home on Friday. So, right after the race starts (the first Nascar race of the season), and they have driven at least 10 laps, i will be heading out of the house to get the stuff i need. Once the MIT gets home, i will have laundry and packing, while He sleeps. i will also have to be up at midnight to make sure He gets His antibiotic. i just can't find the motivation to get out of the house. At least i have clothes on now. i still haven't done much of the cleaning i wanted to get done that i had thought i wanted. i am not going to worry about it. If i get the packing done, i will be fine. Anything else will be gravy.
About the trip. Well, the MIT has finally started getting excited. He is looking forward to watching American television. He is wanting to eat McDonald's every day for lunch (it is His dream we are fulfilling). He is acting nervous about the trip a little. Mainly about the flight, but i think He is feeding off how i feel.
i am trying to get my head around the "go with the flow" and "it isn't up to me to impress the people from Make-a-Wish" and "it is ok to ask for help" and to say yes if people offer us stuff. That is hard for me. i told the therapist on Friday that these are obviously lessons i need to learn more quickly, or else it wouldn't be hitting me all at once. i am going to learn these lessons. i am even going to enjoy myself on this trip. i am going not stress out about little things. i have come to the conclusion that if all the MIT wants to do is watch TV the entire time we are in New York, then we will get lots of pictures of that, and not sweat it. my Sis and i can take turns going out and seeing the sights.
Mom just called. She is getting excited about the trip, as is my Dad. They are starting to get on my Sis's mood. Thank goodness i live here and not there. i can imagine how much pushing she is taking about getting laundry done, getting packing done, making sure she has everything. At least i can just sit here, decide when i am leaving and say no to my Mom coming over to make sure i get everything done.
So, no post tomorrow morning. Maybe i will post a few days during the week since my Sis is bringing her laptop. i will be taking lots of pictures, and may post a few here. i hope everyone has a great week.
signing off for now
