The Countdown Continues....

The countdown continues. By this time next week, we'll be in China. I can't believe it sometimes. My to-do list is still huge. Granted, my to-do list and David's to-do list is vastly different, and mine seems much longer. I have so many things that I think just HAVE to get done before we leave. David, on the other hand, has the attitude that - it will all still be here when we get back.
I sat down with all these packing lists and suggestions on what to take that other people have made, and prepared to make my own. Once I got done, I looked at the list of medications that we may need and that Leila may need while we're there. I realized that if they should happen to search our luggage - they won't know if we're coming to pick up a baby or to open a small drugstore. On the other hand - I'd rather have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.
I also went to get dog and cat food for while we're gone. Renee is coming to stay with our animals, and I don't want her to run out of anything. Now, maybe I miscounted or I miscalculated or maybe I just have other things on my mind - I'm just not sure. BUT, once I got home to put it all away - I realized that I have enough cat food to last until probably Thanksgiving.
I just can't wait to get on that plane though. Once I'm on it - I know that all the getting ready is done, and all the preparations are behind me. From then on, it's just go, go, go. China here we come.
