Noooo!
I'm not ready!!!!
I just read Janet's blog, and it says the girls will be home in 2 hours. That can't be right, I'm not ready yet. Chuck just finished cleaning the carpets..they're WET. I haven't hardly touched the kitchen. Faith's room turned out to be the horror of all horrors..in fact, it looked like Heather's used to look when she was young and didn't want to clean, and didn't want me to know. WOW. Don't ever try to tell me they aren't related, I have proof! I had actually thought that I'd get Faith's all decorated (with her help) for Christmas today. silly me. And let's not discuss bathrooms.
You wonder why I am cleaning in a frenzy. Well, it's keeping my mind from wandering to an airplane. An airplane that flies over a huge body of water. An airplane that could crash. An airplane that could get snow-bound and not arrive in Minneapolis..ever. An airplane holding my precious child, and her two sweet friends that I have adopted in my heart. The frenzy is the medicine God gives me to keep my sanity. Not to mention Heather's friends are coming over tomorrow after church to celebrate Thanksgiving with her, and I want to be prepared. I like to be a good hostess.
Anyway...I'm not ready. I won't be ready...until I see her face and squeeze the ever-loving stuffing out of her. a hundred times or so.
God, grant me grace and peace!

It was sure nice to see Heather once again, and I'm very glad she made it home safe and sound.
You were (as always) a most excellent hostess! It was definitely the best "Second Thanksgiving" I've ever had. Thanks for all the work you put into making what turned out to be a wonderful homecoming meal, I'm sure it was greatly appreciated by all.
