Anticipation

I'm the type person that loves the anticipation of something great. I was the kid who liked opening presents slowly. I loved to save presents as long as I could so the anticipation would build. Now I am eagerly waiting for our departure for Vienna. I have many things yet to do, like taking the boys to the doctor because they both have colds with green snot; packing our bags; cleaning the house. You get the point. But this evening I find myself paralyzed by the anticipation. Joey is working so it is just me and the boys. I have all of this energy that is looking for an outlet, but not really the opportunity to do much of what needs to be done (because the boys didn't nap.) I considered going to Starbucks for a Chai because it works wonders on my nerves. But I can't do caffeine this late in the day. Will would never sleep then.
All that to say: Saturday departure, please hurry up and get here. (But wait until I'm done with all of the things I need to do.)
