last week


this time next week we'll be on the road, little tayloe will be safe on the east coast with his grandparents and it'll be my last day being 32. hm.
i had my last swim classes today, which made me very sad. the kids are so cute and they're so much fun in the water. i'll have to find a place in virginia to put my kiddie swim knowledge to good use.
packing is going so slowly. one day i think i'm really on the ball and the next it seems like we've hardly made a dent. it's so easy to get caught up in other stuff like canceling bills and saying goodbye to friends and getting the cars ready to make the trip that packing easily slips to the end of the list. nevermind that this week both our washer has broken and we had an electric problem that required a handyman be here all day yesterday. (tayloe and i fixed the washer on our own. bravo for us!) oh, and little tayloe has occasionally and without warning been barfing since friday. more on that later.
i keep thinking about monday night, when it'll all be done and tayloe and i will be in a hotel waiting to shove off the next day. come on, monday.

Oh Catherine, it all seems so bittersweet. So many people excited for you to come back east, so many people sad to see you go. California will always be that place T2 looks back on in pictures and says: I was BORN there! (Me too little Tayloe, me too.) -background music 'Open up those Golden Gates, 'cause California, here I come . . .' So, now all that's left it to change your tagline to read 'sharing the love with our west coast peeps.' Call me when you get here (I'm thinking spring field trip to the berry farm.)
