Bella stayed at Maggie's last night and trick or treated with her family.  It was so quiet here with just Andrew & me.  A little creepy actually.  I had to turn the TV on for some company.  I double checked all the doors to make sure they were locked and then found out this AM that I left my key in the door OUTSIDE yesterday, so I was not locked in like I thought.

We hired a cleaning person to come in every 2 weeks for 2 hours  each time while we're gone.  It's so weird.  She's here now.  I have never in my life had someone clean for me.  It's a little bizarre for me.  She's downstairs right now washing floors.  At least it will give me peace of mind that my house is getting cleaned while we're gone.

Let's see..........Kit, Mo and the boys will come next Friday and spend the day and night.  They're driving us to the airport.  I miss my little Amelia.  Even though its nice to get a break, I miss her like crazy already!  I won't see her for another 10 days.

I think I'm ovulating again.  If I am, it's on CD 20 according to my possible AF.  If it's a true ovulation, I think I can expect AF again on the day that we travel----oh joy.

I packed the girls' Christmas presents.  Their dolls are adorable.  I cannot wait for Christmas morning.  I'm feeling quite good about leaving.  I thought that I might start having reservations as the day gets closer, but I'm actually embracing the idea with open arms.  I just want to unpack and settle into a routine so it's clear to me that we're there for a while, not just a vacation.
