Preparations

We are making preparations, preparations for war.

At least it feels that way, although we are not searching for any mythical weapons of mass destruction. We are trying to get the home (and for me my work) in order so that we can leave things in a relatively organized manner. The theory behind this is it will make it easier for those who are covering our jobs while we are gone, and things should be more organized when we return, although I have no evidence that this is actually what will happen.

It just so happens that many - I can't really keep track of exactly who - of my children have developed colds. Therefore, they are not allowed to love on Meredith or get too close to her, which is the exact opposite of what they want to do. Stephanie and I have both developed a heightened level of freaking out and are greatly anticipating our trip and all that will go with it. We leave on Saturday morning, and will be staying in a hotel (thanks to my Dad) until we can get in at the Ronald McDonald House. I am not sure exactly where I am going to find web access to post updates, but I will find it somewhere.

As you await the next post with anticipation.....OK I was going to suggest something here but I am quite tired and I was unable to put a coherent thought together. Peace.
