Day 402, Almost only counts in horseshoes

Tomorrow is almost here!! Andrew called home tonight,,, he had 30 seconds to speak...long enough to tell me he was at the airport... Finally on his way home :) "Mom, you have 8 seconds, is there anything you want to tell me?" Andrew asked. "I love you; I can't wait to see you!" What else could I have said in 8 seconds? Don't forget to put on clean underwear? Did you remember to floss? "Are you sure you remembered everything?"

So now the real countdown begins. My son is on his way home, as I write this. Tomorrow, his sister will greet him in Salt Lake City, and then together, they will fly home.

What am I thinking at this moment? Yikes... Is there room for all four of my kids in my car? Can I fit their luggage in my trunk? Did Ellen and Taylor vacuum? Did they wash the towels? Are there clean sheets on the beds? Why is my refrigerator empty again? What am I going to feed them when they get here? What if they think I'm "Loser Mom" when they realize the cupboards are bare?

Or maybe... MAYBE,,, they are as excited to see me as I am to see them... and none of the other things matter. Yeah. I'll  go with that.

Tomorrow will be a very good day :-)
