Tonight Daryl wanted to review the January & February calendar and set our proposed packing and departure dates. Daryl made several suggestions involving various dates in February. I make agreeable murmuring responses, but not really answering, chattering away about various little packing/moving details.
Finally, he says, mildly frustrated, "You're not going to answer me, are you?"
He took charge, set some dates and said, "How will that work?"
"That's perfect honey, I just needed you to tell me when to go .... kind of a 'Pack your bags and get on the plane, woman,' bit of bossing me around." And of course, I'm crying as I say it. If life goes according to plan (it always does, right?), we'll be on the ground in Edinburgh en famille by February 25.
Then I began updating my Google calendar, pulling up recurring events one at a time, clicking delete "all following" to piano lessons, teaching Sunday School, Bible Study Fellowship, math homework group, math lab, Wednesday evening church schedule, etc. My calendar looks naked and lonely. I hope I won't be either in Edinburgh.
Is it too early to plan a visit? Perhaps late sumer or early fall?
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine how hard the move will be, but I know you won't be lonely over there!
Early fall, I think!
ReplyDeleteSome ATL friends will probably visit in the summer while kids are out of school. I hear Sept is lovely!
You will not be lonely, as evidenced by the above posts.
ReplyDeleteYou better not be naked. It could be bad for your health over there. Plus, the friends who posted above might not make it if you're na-ked.
Get in touch w/that women's group in E. and put some of their events on your calendar. And make up a future daily routine, and put that on your calendar (you can delete it later, but for now, you'll look busy).
We love you!
great idea Staci!
