"TWO MORE SLEEPS!!!", we realized as the alarm went off this morning. WOW! I cannot believe we leave for Tanzania in TWO DAYS! How exciting (for both of us)! How stressful (for one of us - ME)! There is much to do in preparation of our March Break excursion, as we are not embarking on a "lay on the beach" vacation. We have to check and double check that we are all set to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Here are some of the things we MUST do prior to Thursday's departure:
1. Go on a "water purification tablet" mission. We have already been unsuccessful with this task at two different pharmacies. Luckily, there are many more to search!
2. Do laundry. [Yes - my long johns and fleece track pants are in the wash, Phil. It was still a (little) cold this week!!!]
3. Make cupcakes for Rolando's birthday.
4. Play with Oscar. A LOT. Tell him we love him. A LOT. Pray he doesn't rip apart another couch cushion. A LOT.
5. Purchase batteries. Good ones. We anticipate many photo ops throughout the voyage.
6. Buy snacks. Almonds, craisons, granola bars......
7. Develop a group photo representing all students who donated to our "Tuleeni" school supplies drive. (Phil's idea - very clever and sweet.)
8. Do an inventory of all school supplies collected. Go and purchase any supplies in shortage, using monetary donations from staff and students.
9. Finish "Survivor - Samoa"....and I say this ONLY BECAUSE Phil may die of suspense if the big winner is left "lingering".
10. Call my Daddy. I haven't talked to him ALL WEEK!
11. Pack. Ick - a word and activity that I dislike very much!
Please note: Numbers 1-11 are IN ADDITION to daily trips to the gym, Phil's baseball schedule, lesson planning, eating and sleeping.
Can you believe Phil isn't stressed? Perhaps he is saving it for the flight....we have four "stops". Mom P - I have the gravol on standby.
