I have been so slack about writing this blog lately. This is mainly because I have been SOOO busy getting ready for this trip (along with juggling kids and work). It seems like any time I get a chance to sit down and write, I am too tired. I still have a lot to do to before I fly off to Russia. Most of my packing list has been taken care of, but now I am trying to get things ready for Theresa--important numbers, contacts, medical info, etc. Even though she is familiar with the girl's day to day routine, she wants to get all important contact information-- for doctors, etc. I am trying to compile all of this in one spot. Little A has a HUGE list of doctors and specialists! I guess I didn't realize just how many there were until I started compiling a list ( although most of them, are not routinely used).
I also am writing each girl a little card and note for each day that I am gone. The idea is that they will open a card on each day that I am away--I just want them to feel that I am still with them in a way. Big A has been telling me that she is "a little scared" about me leaving. I assure her that I will be fine and that I will come back sooner than she thinks. I hope that I can keep that promise. I have to admit, I am getting a bit scared myself--not about being in a foreign country, but about the flight over. I never have liked to fly... I don't think that I would be so afraid if I didn't have children. The thought of the pain and loneliness that they would feel if something happened to me, is terrible. I just want to be around for them. Let's hope I am.
