That was the text and then phone call that I got from Super Handsome on Wednesday at noon!
Well, I guess..... unfortunately, is was necessary to leave Wednesday at the last minute for several reasons. Super Handsome needed to be at work in the UK two weeks ago, which in itself was a good enough reason. The other reasons had to do with our flights. If we left on Thursday not all of us could be on the same flights or even seated together and some of us would be flying stand by! Not a great situation with 4 kids. We could have left on Friday all together, but Super Husband really needed to be at work earlier.

My house was a mess and we were not completely packed. My fridges needed cleaning and purging. I had numerous errands that I needed to do as well. Thankfully, my mom and my sister came to help me with the cleaning part. Also, I was fairly close to be done with the packing, there were just a few things that I needed to throw in, so that was finished rather quickly as well. I prioritized the errands and did as much as I could, what did not get done, was just going to have to be undone!
I had planned a last little get together at a park for the kids, which I quickly called everyone and asked them to just drop by the house between 4 and 5. So, that worked out. We even found a home for our pleco fish at the last minute. Thank you to the Pastericks for taking him!
The whole situation was very stressful and then it was made more so by My two oldest sons disappearing as we were trying leave to go to the airport. We managed to find them quickly and then took them back to the house to grab what they needed and then we headed to the airport.
So, we still have a ton of loose ends left at home and I won't really be able to take care of them until we have regular internet access. We forgot quite a few things as well, like pajamas for our littlest two, our debit cards, swimsuits, and various cords to plug in different electronics, to name a few. We will either manage with out them or we will buy it (not sure how yet!) or have them sent, depending on the situation!
Ah! The craziness has just begun, and that is an understatement!
You are a great wife (and person)! You handled it all so well, with the last-minute flight and good-byes. Glad you got help on the other stuff like the clean-ups.
