I don't think I did the best at communicating all the information I have taken in over the past two years for attaching and bonding when Toby came home. So in light of that and Lili's very near arrival. I have found some articles for family and friends from http://www.a4everfamily.org/ that I am going to copy and paste here. For more information on why Greg and I do the things we do (and some of you think we are crazy for) pleasevisit the link. There is a ton of great information there all in one spot.
An article on ways you can help http://www.a4everfamily.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=93&Itemid=90
And a truly wonderful article about what needs to happen when we come home is http://www.a4everfamily.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=57&Itemid=78

The Giants Won the World Series
No I am NOT one of those girls. This is the sentence out of my (slightly inebriated) husband's mouth as the game ended. It was hysterical as David and I looked at each other and then at Greg. he didn't believe he said it but then Daryl walked in and agreed with us. Too Funny! I actually wanted the Giants to win so I was excited.
Between yesterday and today, I have gotten NOTHING accompished. The laundry fairy has visited today and about half is done. So I can probably finish packing tomorrow. Please pray that everything falls into place between now and Tuesday. I am really anxious now!

3 Days, 12 hours
Did I read that counter right?!?! Only three and a half days until I leave for Guatemala. Wow do I have alot to do in alittle amount of time. Let's look shall we?
1. Finish packing! Yes i have already started. All of Liliana's stuff is packed, however mine is not. To do that I have to have clean clothes which leads me to #2.
2. Do the Laundry. I can not leave piles of clothes unwashed for the next 10 days. So I guess the laundry fairy will be at my house late tonight.
3. Clean up the office so my Mom has a cat-free place to lay her head while she's here.
4. Do all the paperwork that needs to come with me. That's 3 forms that need to be completed, 3 other papers that need to be notorized, and a couple of documents that need photocopied. Nothing like waiting to the last minute. Thank goodness I've done this before.
5. Get my nails done. Not a major thing for most people but mine NEED done.
6. Right down everything I know about my child so my Husband and my Mother are not lost. While they know lots of things about Toby, there are certain things that only this Mommy knows that I now must share.
7. Spend as much time as possible with Toby cause I am going to miss him DESPRITELY!!!!
8. Most likely go to the store 2-3 more times cause Lord knows that I will need to get something else before I go.
I am SURE there are more, but for the life of me I can't remember. That's probably not good, huh?

Okay so hear it goes:
1. The covers on the bed must be absolutely perfect, to me, before I can fall asleep. I have ALWAYS been like this. I used to line up my stuffed animals a certain way every night. It's a control thing for me. I admit it!
2. Along the same lines... I can not sleep on the first floor of a house or with the windows open. Paranoid I know. :)
3. I like to eat Doritos with Salt and Vinger Potato chips. In fact I LOVE vinegar.
4. I hate Elevators with a passion. If they have what I consider too many people I wait for the next one.
5. I must get ready in the morning in certain order. If I don't it messes everything up. Hey, it's been perfected over time.
6. All the shirts in my closet are in order by color. It makes matching so much easier. I swear I'm not OCD, just a major control freak!
7. Okay and by far the weirdest thing about me... I have no belly button. That's a story for another day.
Okay now I'm suppose to link to people so you can visit them too. So here's who I'm tagging:
