No sleep for the mommy who can't find her black skirt!

Last night I slept 45 minutes and honestly that may be a generous estimation. How can a person sleep the night before beginning a journey that began in my heart 12 years ago. We packed up our bags, picked up the house and set our alarms for 4:15am to get to our 7am flight out of IAH on time. 

I was actually pacing the living room until about 12:45am watching episodes of Orange is the new black. Around 1am I layed in bed and easily drifted off to sleep and as I was about to fall asleep I realized I didn't pack my new black skirt. The one I specifically bought for Ethiopia. Oh, and I think I have clothes in the dryer. And DANG I'm not sure if I packed my hair straightener. What bag did I put the converters in? Yes this was my "non" nights sleep! 

But we are currently about to touch down in DC and then get ready to fly straight to Ethiopia tomorrow. We will get into addis around 7:15am and go see our girl!!! 

Tonight I will not be messing with another sleepless night. 9pm bedtime and a healthy dose of unisom for me!! 

And check out Lance in the top picture. Such a sleepy head! 

Me? I think my foot has been tapping this whole flight. I'm pretty sure I'm even typing fast right now!! Eeeeeek!!!!! I will be holding my baby TOMORROW!!!!
