In one week...

We will be sleeping in a motel, the house will be empty, and we will be about to embark on our seven day journey to the East Coast. The goodbyes started last weekend.

My godmother and I took the kiddos to Palm Spring to say goodbye to my grandparents and my bff and her kids. What a trip! Eight hours in the car, a pregnant lady that has to pee all the time, a 4 year old that has to try to go pee every time Mommy does, a two year old that freaks out every time Mommy and Sissy get out of the car, and the same 4 and 2 year old that fought the.entire.time. The ENTIRE time! Any time we were in the car, they were fighting. For three days. Who is looking forward to seven days in the car with them? Yeah, not me.

Saying goodbye to my bff...yeah, maybe we should just amputate a limb. It would be easier. Yes, we live about 9 hours away from each other and only see each other once or twice a year. But it is ONLY nine hours. Or two and a half by plane. Easy to do, in a heartbeat. Living on opposite coasts? I'm still not ok with that. But we will do what we do. And I will love her from afar. <3 p="">
We said bye to my brother, his girlfriend, and my nephew today. I am going to miss that sweet baby boy growing up. So he had better send me a ton of photos, every day. My nephew has the best smile for a one month old. He laughed at his cousins and snuggled with auntie. I told his mommy I might sneak him away with me. ;)

The house is looking emptier and emptier as we enter our last weekend in Tucson. The kids are excited. Mommy just wants to be in NH and sleep for a week. Daddy has painted and painted. Next week, we get new carpet. Hopefully someone rents the house soon.

Just one more week
