Hey you guys, in 6 days my mommy and grandmama are coming to get me! Whoo hoo!!!
I couldn't let you down sista! We have been to New Orleans today to get my mom's passport. The Big Easy is about 2 and a half hours from our house. We had an 11:00 appointment, and we didn't get her passport until 4:30! We did have the chance to go eat a great lunch and go walk around Jackson Square. That was fun. I told Nat that I would have loved some pics, but I FORGOT MY CAMERA! What a dork. It was the first time I had been to N.O. since the storm, and the evidence of Katrina is still painfully visible. Downtown in the French Quarter wasn't bad, but the areas driving in still looked devastated. It is just so sad. For a while our area was in the news constantly, and now it's kind of been forgotten. At times like today I remember that not everyone is back to normal. There weren't very many vendors and almost no performers in the square and other areas. New Orleans is making a come back, and we will go down for the weekend soon to take the kids to the zoo and aquarium. SO, we are all exhausted, but Grandmama has her passport! We are almost on our way. Tomorrow morning I have a big meeting with my agency to sign waivers and "behavior conduct" forms. I am the first mother ever to go foster, so I am thankful that they are allowing me to go. I am the Guinea pig, and I wouldn't do anything to ruin anyone else's chance of going down. The rest of the week will be spent with my parents , family, and Daisy, Wyatt, and Maggie. We will be eating some of my favorite foods before I go. I am taking sweet Daisy to lunch. Today while I was gone she picked up my boys from school, had them do their homework, fed them supper, AND EVEN MADE SOUP FOR LOGAN'S CLASS PROJECT that is due tomorrow. She didn't want me to have to come home tired and do it myself. What did I EVER do to deserve my Daisy??? I love you girl! Please leave me a comment and let me know one thing you each think I should take....I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Don't let me down.....
Hugs and kisses...........

Okay, don't forget your camera this time! Also, the disposable wash cloths are the best!!
Glad you had a fun day with your mom!!!
Does it seem real that you are just 6 days away from being with AP forever?
Hugs!

OK, you know I'm tired and hormonal and everything makes me cry!!! I'm ridiculous. You know I love your boys, and I know you'd do the same for me if I'd had a long, exhausting day. I'm glad I could help! I think the one thing you're forgetting to take is ME & MAGGIE, but since I've prayed and prayed and still can't go, I'll do whatever I can from this end to make that whole experience easier and less stressful.
Don't forget the baby tylenol, motrin and pediacare. Other than that, you'll have Anne Pearce, and that's all you're gonna' need.
We really should just skip eating out tomorrow and eat some sukuyokopoopoo soup!!!
lovealee!
Daisy
(i gotta' get back to bloggin' myself!!)
glad you and your mom had a safe trip! you know better than I what to take...i can't think of anything to suggest right now...sorry! i'll try to think of something and get back to you. :)
I think you're set! And if there is anything else you need, I'll bring it down with me;) Positive thoughts.
I think you need to relax, don't stress out....it can cause shingles:) That's the last thing you need to be worrying about:) What about ziploc bags & throw away rubbermaid containers. (For baby food & misc. items) That's about the only thing I can think of that you may not already have packed. Hope to meet you down there!!!
Don't forget tummy medicine! (for you)! Thats all i can think of. SOOOOOO happy for you! Rose
THATS the post I was waiting for!!!! Thank you!
I know one thing you can take....ME!! Man, I am so pumped that you are going in 6 days! Unbelievable!! I am getting excited that we just have 3 months and 16 days till we visit. I can't imagine what I will feel like when I have 6 days to be with Allie forever! Please know that we are and will be praying for you until you are HOME with AP.
have fun packing!
Stacie
Lou-
I can't think of any suggestions for you. I am sure you have already packed everything I can come up with! Have fun eating all of your favorite foods before you leave, that sounds like a great time!
Sounds like you got it all. See you there!!!
I can't think of anything. Unless you would like to smuggle me in your suitcase!! I hope that you have a blast. Post lots of pics and congratulations on getting to be w/ your baby!! I can't imagine what you must be feeling like! AP doesn't know how blessed she is!
ME!!!! YOU ARE FORGETTING TO TAKE ME!! :):):)
Have a GREAT time!
Dear Lou...Only 6 more days! I am sooo excited for you and AP :) This is what I can think of: Pack J&J disposable washclothes (the soap up when you wet them)..they're awesome, easy and smell so good. Playtex bottles with liners (so easy to toss, no cleaning needed). Pedilyte (the little packets to mix you mix with water). They can used for you or AP (whoever has a belly ache). If I think of anything esle, I'll write. Best of luck and God Bless!
