Nesting

I never really got to go through the nesting that comes with having babies since I ended up in the hospital at 30 weeks. This powerful need to prepare has been happening to me now, not for babies, but for absence. Living with three members of the male species strengthens my need to get ready. My list of things to get done before Monday is pretty extensive. Getting the house in order, laundry done, homework projects completed, dishes all washed, grocery store, errands, sheets changed, bills paid, checkbook balanced are just a few.......I'm halfway done and will be able to attend a soccer game, memorial service and church this weekend then I will be on club med vacation as my surgeon calls it. She says it'll be club med without the fun and sun. I can only imagine this... I am really going to miss teaching. I adore our class and am so glad I had the first three weeks to get to know them. What a great profession teaching is. I will be out until mid November so I can fully recover and complete all radiation. Bill or Nancy, my dear sister in law, will keep the blog updated on Monday after surgery. Prayers for steady surgical hands, comfort for my family and healing are appreciated. Surgery is set for 10:30 on Monday.
