2 more nights....

As I prepare to lay down my head tonight, I realize that I only have two more nights that I can rest in my own bed, with my favorite pillow and blanket before traveling half way across the world to sleep in a place that has yet to be determined. This is my life for the moment. And somehow, with all the packing and preparations to be done before flying out Tuesday afternoon, I am already beginning to morn my bed and sleeping comforts. As I begin to wallow in self-pity, it becomes very clear to me how much I NEED this trip to Moscow. I am spoiled rotten! I take so many simple things for granted in my daily living. Simple joys/chores like laundry and private transportation are soon going to be major changes for me any my family of 7. The adventure is about to begin. And for tonight, I am going to relish my sleeping environment. If only tomorrow were a holiday so I could sleep in, instead of getting children up from their cozy beds and ready for their last day of school!
