Getting Ready!

My first day of vacation has been busy!  I returned home from our school year-end party yesterday afternoon to an email letting me know that my flight home from Lima to Mexico City had been cancelled.  Since the company is based in NY I had to wait until 6:00 this morning to call.  After an hour I had a new ticket which now involves a nine hour layover in Mexico City.  I wonder what one can do for nine hours in Mexico City?  Duty free shops are only entertaining for so long.  I made what is hopefully the last trip to Fred Meyer, mowed the lawn, had the car tires checked, went to the bank.  I'm used to the girls leaving me but it feels very strange to be leaving them.  I feel a huge responsibility to make sure that things are in place for them here at home.  Tomorrow I will pack since the girls and I are meeting Brian at the coast for Sunday and Monday.  At least if I'm not here I can't obsess over everything I could possible take care of before Tuesday morning.  Happy Summer!
