Busy Doesn't Even Begin to Describe it...

So I FINALLY got word that the kids and I are getting to go to Texas on Friday! We found out Paul was leaving to San Angelo for a class which gave the kids and I three weeks to spend with my family. However, we also found out my grandpa was back in the hospital with pneumonia and more heart complications. My parents made the decision to take off to Fl to be with him, which of course made the deciding factor of the kids and I going to Tx a negative. Kailee was devastated and I was beyond disappointed. She had such a hard time knowing she wasn't going to get to see her Nana and Papa for a long time and was crushed. I was as well b/c I knew exactly how long it would be. Anyways it rained and flooded for two weeks from Texas all the to Fl, so of course my parents couldn't drive in that weather. Then, my dad got sick so that took another week and that brings us to today. We leave Friday and they decided they would stay in Texas the three 1/2 weeks we there unless my grandpa goes back into the hospital in which case they would have to take off. I am soooooo unbelievably excited to go see my family, but at the same time I am stressing out so much. I had to move and cancel all my Oct appts since we will be gone until right before Halloween, I have to clean this house spotless since it'll be closed up for almost 4 weeks, pack for the kids and I, and everyone knows how well I do with that. Not to mention they are in between seasons so I have to plan for hot, warm, and cooler weather. UGH the joys of packing. I also have to worry about how Abbey will do on the drive, worry that at any moment between now and Friday my grandpa will go into the hospital which will cancel our trip, worry about the swine flu since we are getting into the winter months, worry about Halloween when we get back and their costumes, also start planning for Paul's mom, sister, niece, nephew, Barry, and Jeff coming for Thanksgiving. I think I worry and stress too much. LOL Speaking of I need to get off here and start getting things in order.
