Did I miss anything good in chat??
I was up in Atlanta seeing my family for a few days. I don't know how something so great can also be so stressful at the same time (could be that there were nine of us.) And then I have to stand there with a big smile on my face waving while they drive back off to Chicago, and sniffle all the way back to Savannah on my own.
Sometimes I think I should be like my middle sister and just cry buckets all over everyone instead of sucking it up. But then I couldn't say something so loving like would you man up and calm down, you're upsetting Autumn (the littlest sister) That's me, nothing if not compassionate to a pregnant woman. (sigh) Not my finest moment. Luckily, my pregnant sister has never listened to a word that comes out of my mouth, so probably even if she heard me she didn't care anyway.
It must be love because I sure wouldn't suffer this much for just anyone!
The trip to ATL was a good dry run though. We've run out of some stuff we need for Italy. Like pants for me that aren't athletic wear for one thing, and maybe some new shoes for Jeri. As I told Jeri, no one wants to see me running around Italy in athletic pants and t-shirts. Not the Italians, and not the Pope. So I'm just going to have to break down and shop. I think my girlie gene for shopping was not installed properly.
Today I input all of our already planned stuff into my google calendar and printed out the pages so I can have a rough guide for what's what. Is it strange that I get such a sense of happiness and satisfaction watching calendar pages come off a printer?
