Counting down the days......

Yes people, we are on countdown at our house. We are now getting Mira September 15th. I have put a countdown on the fridge so I can mark off the days. I went a little crazy yesterday and packed everything for Mira. James of course asked if I was going nuts, which I replied, "YES!" I am usually a last minute packer, don't get me wrong. But in this case, I don't want to leave behind something important behind, like her blow up beach ball (HAHA). I think I have reached the weight limit on the suitcase so I hope we don't get charged extra! You would not believe the things I have packed but I am SO SURE we will use all of it, including the beachball and the bubbles. If we don't, I am SO SURE my wonderful husband will love pointing out to me that we didn't need all of this stuff. I told my poor students today that I would be in class for a total of 2 weeks before I would turn them loose to a substitute. How great of a teacher am I? At this point, I don't care - put me on a plane already!
