Final Countdown!

It's the final countdown.   
6 Just 6. 
 That's not many left, huh? Parker says that his chain will be posted when she leaves.
(approx. 540 days till she comes home if anyone wants to know)
So We are doing what most people do when someone is leaving for a year and a half:
 In no organized order at all....  
Book the shuttle -A ride to the MTC = a good thing, sigh.
Make a schedule - For when to do everything that still needs doing(2 pages), or when to play with everybody, but Mom and Dad.  I know that sounds pathetic. Meant it to. 
Call the MTC - "Do I bring bedding or not?"  Not.  "But 'It' says to." You won't need that till Chicago.  "K, Thanks"
Wash stuff - Like the ice cream stained shirt she wore Sunday. (See below) That was some good batch, Parker.  Still, wearing it might be a mistake.
Laugh.  Over silly things... like this.....

Now it's stuck in our heads and we can't get it out!   
Iron the entire wardrobe - Why? It's just gonna need it again at the other end.
Take a nap - not going to happen.
Make lists - You know, Go to the bank, add a signer.  Stuff like that.
Purchase, like a bagillion things, eg: toiletries, last minute items like: 
Grandma's Secret Stain Remover(see above)
Make stuff, like playlists and family group sheets and pictures for the wailing wall.

Cry, just a little, cause this girl...
will be sorely missed. 
Now get back to work.  There is much to do.
