March 30. 2011-Blurry Wednesday...

     This day went by in a blur. It consisted of work, work, work in between finishing up stuff I needed to do to get ready to leave on the plane in the evening, and finally pack, pack, pack, and try to remember the things I was bound to forget before getting on the plane where I would no longer have access to my home, belongings, work related materials to study while away, etc...Talk about being one big stress ball! That was me pretty much all day, accompanied by a teary conversation with my fiancee four hours before leaving because I no longer wanted to have to leave.  I wanted to get to my son and be with him, but I just didn't feel ready yet! For a very organized homemaker, and a "you can't be too prepared" educator, this was not a good feeling because I was neither organized nor very prepared today.  Oh well, everybody has their off days.  This was definitely one of mine.  In the end, my son and I made it safely to the terminal with all the essentials we needed for the next three weeks and then some and had an uneventful 7 hour plane ride all the way from Kwaj to Hawaii arriving at our hotel around 5 am just to crash into bed for a few hours before getting up and starting the whole travel process all over again for an additional 24 hours.  At least I won't have to worry about packing or finishing up with work tomorrow.  I only have to worry about getting to the airport on time and catching our flight...Wish me luck!
