With our trip quickly approaching and hearing that others have already started the fun, my mind is slipping away into vacation mode. I am so excited about the trip that I can hardly let 2 little downers keep me from looking forward to it. The first (and most serious) is the descent into Dulles. With a baby that just started taking antibiotics yesterday for an earache, this could be a near hellish experience. I have Tylenol and will definitely have the pacifier ready, but I'm praying that she will not end up with a popped eardrum. This is one of those times when you just don't know how it will go. Perhaps, everything will kick in and the landing will be uneventful (crossing fingers). On the other hand, 15 minutes of screeching out in pain and terror would be hell and make us hated on the plane. Last night, we warned her Granddad that he might want to sit far away from us. One great thing about Southwest is that he has that option.
The other downer has to do with my lack of preparation. Remember last week when I mentioned the lists? Well, some of them were created. All those ones pertaining to Lexi were created. This morning with the temperature dip (into the 50s), I went into my closet to get dressed. I couldn't find my cute little gloves (only mega warm ones for skiing). I also realized that I am terribly lacking in realistic cold weather shoes. I have a few pairs of tennis shoes and a pair of cutesy boots, but no real shoes. All I have are slip-ons, sandals, and flops. It looks like I'll be wearing tennis shoes or slip-ons quite often. Oh well...the trip is still going to be AMAZING!
