Planning for a trip

We are going out of town. And we have done so many times before. But never with two kids. And just me! Yeap. I know... I don't know what I was thinking....

I am sure four years ago, the very first time, going on a trip with Coqui, I was nervous and I probably over-packed. BUT I had my husband with me. Then I made this trip many times on my own with Coqui and he is in that regard a very easy child. He always took his nap on the plane and such. You know when you board the plane and people move away from you because they see that you have a child.... yeah, suckers! Well, usually at the end of the plane ride I got at least one person that told me how good my kid was... - every time! (yes, I am proud of that!)

But this time, I am on my own with two kiddos and I am nervous again. It starts here at home with packing. What to bring and what not. Packing cloth diapers is a first for me as well. So I think I might actually need three suitcases. I know I am crazy. And it is not like we are leaving the country. We are staying in America, with stores that are open 24/7, so when one forgets something it is easily replaceable. Well most of it! Coqui has a blankie that he sleeps with since... yeah, you get the idea. We forgot it twice. The one time it was not too bad and he was okay, the second time he did not forgive me that easily, but it was manageable for the three days - he is my easy child! But I got off the track here...

So I am not really looking forward to this trip that is not even a direct flight, but with a stop. Thank God, I don't have to change planes - I think I would have shot myself! But nonetheless, that one stop makes that trip soooo much longer! My little girl is not as easy to handle and she CAN scream if she doesn't like something or wants something! So this time, I won't get any of the nice compliments about how good my kid behaves on an airplane.... oh well....

So please pray for me and my travels. Thank you. Your prayers and your reading is appreciated!
