Well, I've been sticking to my plan of reading at least a chapter/hour in each book for school. I'm making some progress. My mom called to say they were in Nebraska on Tuesday and would be picking Jack up on Friday evening. So we did laundry on Tuesday and started thinking about what he wanted to take for his month long trip. Yesterday it was so hot and sticky (I'm not sure the air conditioning is working properly at work), we went swimming after work instead of shopping for batteries. We figured we could do that on Thursday when we packed.
Well, I'd been stressing about what to pack all his 'stuff' in (a month is a long time to be away from your 'stuff'), so after dinner I went and got a box I had brought home for my husband to use in recycling the smaller cardboard boxes. I then put in the board games and cards, etc, and asked him to start thinking about other things when the phone rang. My mother called to say they were held up by the rain in Cleveland (two days earlier and only two hours away!!) and that they would be here in the morning! Well, we started to scramble to pack his clothes and his skateboard/equipment, and everything else. Plus deal with the 'it's really real' jitters.
So at 6:15am on Thursday, my mom and stepdad pulled in the driveway. It gave my mom and I time for a long visit, before Mike came home to say goodbye and Aurora came over to have breakfast and we got everything loaded up and at 8:00 by boy pulled out for four weeks (plus three days) at grandma's house.
Now, I just have to fininsh my reading plan, print out my report, go shopping, finalize my sermon for Sunday, and get everything packed and loaded for my month at Duke.
