Leaving.

We’re leaving tomorrow for Douglas Lake.

I’ve been so busy with my working boobs and so sleep deprived that I haven’t, until now, even thought to mention it.

There’s much to do. As typical with me, I want to do none of these trip preparations. I’d much rather curl up in bed next to FOH. I mean as he sleeps next to me. In his bed. Not ours. I take those “don’t let your baby sleep with you in bed” warnings seriously. Not going to F around with that.

As much as sleep calls to me at the moment — I realized I have not slept more than a two and a half hour stretch at a time in a week now — I need to forgo sleep. That is, if I want to actually accomplish anything and get us packed and ready to go.

I keep telling myself my reward will be the car ride. Truly, it sounds nothing short of glorious — I can, in between feedings, sleep. No dishes to unload, laundry to be done, vacuum to run. No distractions for me. Just sleep.

I have a sneaking suspicion that getting out of the state is exactly what I need … this change of scenery, perspective. A vacay is precisely what needs to happen. And how lucky for us … home again we return to one of our all time favorite places on this Earth.

This is the motivator that will keep me going today.
