Ciao for now...................

We leave tomorrow afternoon around 3 pm to get baby Theo, baby Teddy, baby Cooper, whatever you want to call him. I will admit, two weeks ago I had this feeling in my gut that told me something wasn't right. I told Jeff, my friend Tim, my Mom, my friends Carla, Avie, and probably lots of other people I can't remember right now...(sorry if you're one of them) that something wasn't right....all before Grace called and told me that something wasn't right. As a matter of fact I asked Grace (before she knew) if I was actually leaving. Call it a sixth sense or something. I had the same feeling the day I sat in the Embassy back in August right before they told me there was a problem with Ben's paperwork. I felt the same way before every known court date that I had. Something just felt.....off.
I really, really think I am leaving tomorrow. I always get doctor sick right before I leave the country. Ukraine, Niger, and Ethiopia; it happened for every big trip in the last 4 years. This morning I had to go to CareNow because I had been feeling bad since late Thursday night and it just wasn't getting better. I thought I could beat it with the usuals: Musinex, EmergenC, Airborne, and lots of Mannatech vitamins. No good. I ended up with Bronchitis and had to get steroid shots and antibiotics to kick it. I am already feeling better and the confidence I felt about leaving is only that much stronger now that I have come down with an illness that requires a doctor visit.
This Bronchitis could just seal the deal if you know what I mean! I think it might really happen this time people.
So...I'll see y'all in a week!
