So, um, have I mentioned that we are leaving to go to Orlando this Saturday?
And that we are getting up in the wee small hours o’ the morning to drive there?
And that my husband left today on field exercises and will not be back until some unspecified hour on Friday, and is completely out of touch until then?
And how am I preparing for this massive undertaking all by myself?
Sheer denial and copious amounts of coffee.
And I may have already finished two books off of my reading list.
So now it’s time to do the responsible thing.
I’m going to switch to decaf.
And read another book.
What, did you think I’d say I was going to start doing laundry?
How about a little Irish coffee?
I’ll be back with the One Week For Our Health update just as soon as the stomach flu is done with me.
Blech.

I’m lonely.
Well, I just put that right out there, didn’t I?
School started and people got busy and suddenly I have literally gone weeks without a face-to-face real conversation with someone.
Oh, I’ve been to Bible Study and church and cheer practice and talked to people, but an honest-to-goodness conversation?
Weeks.
So I decided that on Tuesday I’ll load up my crew and drive 8 hours to visit my friend Joy, whose husband is also deployed.
Or so I thought.
I don’t know quite how I did it, but the brain cells? They are failing me.
It doesn’t take 8 hours to drive from Mississippi to North Carolina.
It takes 14.
And I’m still going to attempt it.
And I mean attempt, because I’m a practical person and I know that I may make it to Alabama or Georgia, stay in a hotel for the night, and turn around and head home the very next day.
But if I make it, we’ll have seven kids and zero husbands, and the refreshment of as much time as I want with a Christian sister who has known me since before my husband and I started dating.
And that is definitely worth the effort.
So if you don’t hear from me for a few days, then I’m probably in North Carolina.
Hopefully with all three of my kids in tow, and still in possession of my sanity.
And if anyone knows where the Starbucks are located along the way? Share!
I have a feeling I’ll need the caffeine!
