And, I'm off

Well, I've decided that Max isn't sick, or at least not sick enough to cause me to stay home from my trip.  I'm so confused.  He pulls and bats at his ears, yet he acts normal and happy.  Last night I let him sleep in bed with me and he slept until 4, wanted to nurse, then slept until almost 7.  He doesn't sleep AT ALL when he's sick.  But then he's batting at both his ears this morning.  Who knows, maybe he just discovered his ears?  Babies are weird.

So, I'm going.  I'm nervous, not that something will happen while I'm gone, but nervous that I'll miss them the whole time.  It's pointless for me to go and be miserable because then what was the point of the trip?  John took a week off work for this.  I pumped milk until my boobs shrivled up and fell off (well, not quite, but almost).  I've written a 15 page instruction manual for John detailing food the kids eat, feeding schedules, helpful tips on outings with the boys, medications they're taking, medications they might need and doses.  I have a whole page dedicated to what to do when he takes Alex to karate class on Wednesday.  I've cleaned the house, washed all the laundry, cooked a huge pot of chili so John has something to eat, I've organized the pantry and fridge so that John can easily find snacks and meals for the boys...I've never prepared so much for a vacation.  Everything will be fine.  I will relax.  Or, I'll try to anyway.

Adios!

If it makes you feel any better, Sawyer messes with his ears all the time when he's teething. I've even taken him to the doctor before and he's been fine.

Enjoy your trip!
