Appropriately, my first blog post will inform you that I have been too busy putting off starting this blog, the actual writing, the stuffing.  Because I am a mother of what I call  my Biggies (20 and 18 year old girls), my little son of 15 months and working part time, I need my down time. Down time is hard to find when you need everyone in the house to be asleep in order to quiet the buzz in the air so I can perform keyboard strokes.  Moms, you know what I am talking about.  It is so easy to press play on Netflix or play on the phone in bed because you have to actually have something left of yourself to find the effort to type.  My steps to having my first blog are spread out further than I would like but so long as I am moving in some direction that resembles forward than I will claim satisfaction.  Today is T minus 30 days and counting til I fly for the first time in over 20 years, leave this corner of the states and step foot off the continent.  Baby in tow.  Where am I going? For how long?  What am I packing and what bag did I choose?  I really geeked out over the packing aspect.
