packing
cleaning
organizing
making lists
crossing things off lists
going on day 3 (or has it been closer to 5?) of gray, cold, rainy weather
it's consuming.
we leave on Saturday for Toronto for 3ish weeks.
and I am scattered, and grumpy, and impatient at everything and everyone.
seems like there are a million and one things to do and not nearly close to enough time to do it all.
there's a Canada Day party tomorrow, a wedding on Saturday and countless little things that *HAVE* to happen before we go.
But there are the little things too, the things that get lost in the shuffle.
bedtime stories
snuggles
wrestling and monster tag
dancing and silly tickle fights.
too much stuff, too much stress, too many thoughts and worries.
time needs to slow down
unfortunately i have not mastered that little trick yet...if you do, let me know!
Be STILL.
but if i stop _______________ wont happen
Be STILL.
but there is so much to do.
Be STILL.
you'd think i'd listen.

might be a while before I'm blogging again. hoping to be able to post pics from the Canada Day party before we leave, but seriously? it's low on the list of things to get done, will try (you know, provided this rain stops and we can actually go and hang out with friends and eat and watch the kids run around with sparklers!) but no promises!

Sending you a giant hug and an extra dose of {super-energy} :)
Hope you are able to be still and enjoy each and every moment!
Just repeat - Harry Potter, Harry Potter :) I know you are crazy busy between now and then (as am I )but.... I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!! I am so very excited to see you and will be very happy when the space between here and T.Bay magically disappears :)
(And I figure, as long as the kids arrive with you - all else can be sorted out. If you forget stuff you buy or borrow etccc and use your parents as kid watchers and take some time for you and Troy.
