Crazy Eights
Posted: March 16, 2007 at 3:37 pmEight days until D, Munchkin and JD land at the airport. Eight days until I pick them up, waiting at the security check point. Eight days until the hour drive back home from the airport. (Will JD scream this time?) Eight days until I see her again.
Eight days left for TheHusbandMan to hang the closet doors in the hallway. (And stain them.) Eight days left for me to glue down the runs in the berber carpet. Eight days left to clean. (We’re feeling messy as of late.)
Eight days to prepare on that emotional level. Eight days left to figure out how to introduce my family. Eight days left to make plans with others who are cool. Eight days left to find cool shirts. Eight days left to decide whether or not we should get some JC Penney shots taken or just a fun Easter Bunny shot, ala the Santa Claus picture. Eight days left to plan a menu for six people instead of three, which needs to include Paczki on Friday. Eight days left to mess with the manual settings on the camera so I can snap some GREAT pictures instead of just good.
Eight days.
It feels like a really long time when I write it. Then when I think of everything between now and then, it feels like not enough. That’s silly. It’s always too many days. Always!
The Discussion
see what everyone is saying
We have a visit with the queen during the same time :-)
So I’m going to make a commitment to pray for you daily during our visit too!
Bless you, Erin. :)
I can’t wait until you get to see her! I’m very excited for you. Will be praying that everything goes smoothly.
Oh by the way, that is a cute picture of you on the other blog.
:D
I’ve been checking you everyday for the countdown to Munchkin…I can’t wait to hear about your visit, see the pictures, live vicariously through your joy. Please don’t keep us waiting long to post!
It’s exciting that you get to see Munchkin in just a few days (and it is few!). For all of you… I for one can’t wait to hear all about it, the wonderful and tht tough stuff. You inspire me to continue to do my part to keep trying to make a connection to my babies’ first moms. Thanks Jenna! And blessings, many of them, on your visit! I get all goose-pimply thinking about your reunion in the airport. What I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall.
Would you email me and let me know if I can link your blog to mine. I want to do a post on “what a real and healthy open adoption looks like”. Let me know…
Me too… visiting Moonbeam and family next weekend. She has a school play on Friday night.
Will be thinking about you, Jenna.
We’ll make it. It’ll be okay.
