I'm glad to see the end of last week. Not only did someone drive into my house, but on Thursday, we came home to the power being completely shut off. The electric company admited that it was a mistake, but insisted they couldn't send anyone out to turn it back on until the following day. All told, it was 30 hours without power, and we ended up at a hotel for the night.
Things picked up, though. Saturday night, some friends threw us a farewell party. It was all very happy and non-tearful, and a lovely way to say goodbye to our friends here. We've been very blessed since then with offers to feed us dinner and watch the kids while I pack more. I can't believe how helpful everyone has been. We are so grateful.
We are truly down to the wire now. We leave in 72 hours. I have some errands to run on top of all the packing yet to be finished. The girls have a couple of playdates between now and then that I hope will leave me enough time. Still, I think that Thursday night will be a late one!

I always hope for something bad to happen before a big trip, b/c then that means that the trip is going to be AWESOME. So in my (superstitious) opin this means that your adventure is cleared for good juju.
That is precisely what I am hoping it means, too!
