Ok. I knew that we were leaving for the conference this week. I knew that time would fly, as it usually does, much too quickly; but really.... it's Monday already!? I find myself taking a deep breath and chanting beneath my breath "Yes, you can get all that laundry done. Yes, you can get everything together for an 8-hour road trip for 7 people in 1 minivan. Yes, you can do this in time!"
So far, I'm not believing myself :)
It will all fall into place by the zero hour, I'm sure. It always does. Meanwhile, I'm trying to catch up on a few things here on my computer while the latest load of laundry and dishes run. I hope I don't blow a fuse running both machines at the same time :)
Did I mention how excited I am to be going to the conference again this year? It's so hard to put into words the utterly inspiring experience it has been for our family in general, and me in particular. This is the first year we've signed the older 3 kids up for the sibling conference. I'm excited and worried at the same time, hoping that Jakob will be able to handle the experience. He has come SO far the past year and a half. He has grown more than I could have imagined. I think the twins will be their usual, shy-at-first-but-not-wanting-to-come-home selves.
I just don't know where to begin packing. I guess I should just breathe, and begin at the beginning ;) For now, I really should go and get another load of laundry done. It's amazing how quickly 4 children and 2 adults can fill a laundry basket.
