I'm packing a few bags for Monday morning.
I've got a sweet little bag started for my little girl. She will be spending Sunday night with a dear friend, and then visiting other friends on other days. I have a pile of necessities started for Mary...underwear, p.j.s, shorts, shirts and swimsuits. I've also thrown in a few surprises...some Klutz and American Girl books. This will greatly shock Mary, since I'm always saying that those sort of treats are too expensive. But expensive is not a factor this time. Mary has been slightly weepy over the fact that she may not see me for three for four days. She's feeling about unsteady and unsure. So, expensive is not in decisions right now.
Although I'm trying to pack for Steven, he will most likely come and tell me that he want to pack his own bag. I have started gathering underwear, socks and p.j.s for him, as he will probably only pack the DVD player and a few favorite movies. Based on past experience, magazines and books will not be packed for Steven. He was totally unable to focus on a book or even a magazine last time. So, videos it will be.
I've started making piles of gear for myself. I've packed a clean set of comfortable pants and t-shirt for Monday's long night. While I know that little sleep will be had in the vinyl chair, sleepiness always feels better when you're comfortable! I also have the clean undergarments ready, although none of my socks match. For some reason, as uptight as I can be about most things, I never really care if my socks match! HA! Today I bought little travel sizes of toothpaste, mouthwash and deodorant, so those are in a line and ready to go. I will take a few puzzle books and the novel..."A Hope in the Unseen"...because I'm hooked on it!
And slipped in between all of my paraphernalia in my little bag will be two important bible verses...a verse about struggles, perseverance and hope and of course a verse about the great plans for Steven's wonderful life.
Romans 5:3-5 and Jeremiah 29:11
