It took a lot of effort to not go back to bed but to submit myself to a little pampering pre-trip to Russia. I got a haircut this morning - it's pretty short and really cute. I want to have long hair, but because my hair is so thin (hypothyroidism is to blame) it just looks best short. I haven't had a pedicure in 4 months and I need to get them monthly, otherwise my heels crack and bleed. I hit up a new pedicure salon and was thrilled with the place. Everyone was so friendly and they did a good job on the pedicure plus facial waxing (got to love the dark hair on my lip and my out of control eyebrows) and their prices were so reasonable. I left the salon feeling like a new woman! Then I went for a sumptuous Mexican lunch with a good friend, Nichole. I know that I will miss my Mexican food while in Russia for a month.
After that? I came home and took an hour nap - I was really dragging! Now the kids are home and the countdown to takeoff is 26 hours from now. It's crunch time, people! I've got a van to clean out, luggage to pack, kids/husband to feed, and some HOUSE to watch - I need some downtime prior to leaving tomorrow. We're driving to Miami in the morning (3 hours from here) and plan to eat out somewhere - much cheaper than airport food - and then arrive 2 hours early for the flight. I must admit that I'm not stressed right now, I just have a lot to do. It will be fun! Well...it will be fun when all the work is done and I'm on the plane. OH! And I got this book in the mail today. Talk about great timing. Now I have a fun book to read on the plane. Woo-hoo!

Sometimes when I have a particularly full day, I can't sleep either, despite the fact that I'm exhausted.
That's great that you were able to get all that pampering done - you deserve it! Have fun in Russia, and post pictures. I can't wait to hear all about it!
Also, let me know how Bossypants is - Tina Fey is the greatest!
I also reigned in my eyebrows and waxed my upper lip today, although I do it myself at home. No pedicure for me, sadly! At least I'll be wearing closed toe shoes for our entire trip! And I just told my husband last night that I need to eat some good Mexican food before we leave on Sunday! Great minds think alike!
That cartoon looks just like me, except the baby was on my front. I was carrying two bags of groceries, diaper bag, and a gallon of milk while holding onto a 5 yo. Just writing reminds me I'm tired! Glad Tyler's home and hope tonight is more restful!
Why are you going to be there for a month on trip 1?
Our trip 1 was 5 days and trip 2 was a month.
Jill, I am so very excited for you!!!! Can't believe you're already on your way. Best of luck to you and know that you and your entire family is in my prayers!
