But, boy, do I look forward to staying home for a while after this. Trying not to think much on the return trip, because it likely will be quite hard and long, much like today, but even more tiring.
God, guide us, please, and make us well and keep us safe. In your name, I pray. Amen.

An alarm at 2:30am this time, so we can be on a 5am flight, in order to catch an 8-something flight in Dallas. Oh, the joys. I’m two hours late going to bed, but 7pm is still quite reasonable for a one-time abnormality.
God, heal our bodies tonight, please, and make us strong and capable for tomorrow’s travels. Grant us safety and ease and fun and good health for these upcoming travels, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.

At least she’s asleep in her bed already. Hoping I get a long and good and healing sleep tonight.
Lord, please, heal me tonight, and heal my daughter tonight, too, please. We need to be well. In your name, I pray. Amen.

Not only am I having to file nails because they are scratching the crap out of me – no, not mine – but I am also having to say things like, “Now go to sleep. Leave my nipple alone(!).”
Ugh(!!!)!
And she sucked on the nail file pad that was the right grit, and ruined it, as well as the back-up one. So, we’re stuck using a rougher grit than is best, and it makes things a lot harder to smooth out on her nails. Just adding to the annoyances for bedtime right now.

Packing is hard enough. Packing with a toddler is even harder. Packing with a toddler and a spouse present is, somehow, all the worse.
Haha

I am not accustomed to true fall weather, so today was tough. I was dressed appropriately for the first half of the day, but I got slow-chilled to my core throughout the second half. Wow. Tomorrow will be just cold, not rainy like today, so we should be dressed warmly enough with the same outfits all day long – no need for a change midday like today was.
And yet, we’d be wearing shorts and t-shirts back home right now…

We are here. Now, hoping for a great weekend in which we get to spend loads of quality, positive time together.
Thank you, God, for getting us here easily and safely. Please, keep us safe, make us well and whole, and grant us a peaceful and enjoyable time together. In your name, I pray. Amen.

It has been really nice getting to rest today, not having anything on the schedule. I had something initially, but cancelled it in order to get well. And I think that was a very good move for the both of us. We aren’t a hundred percent yet, but probably a solid 80% improves after today. Now for some good sleep to keep healing up!
Thank you, God. In your name, I pray. Amen.

Sinus infection sucks. Hopefully, we both get to sleep well tonight and awaken healed.
Make us well, please, God. In your name, I pray. Amen.

Today was awfully difficult for both my daughter and me. I think we learned that we can’t plan for long days of travel like this in the near future. We left at 9am, and didn’t get home until 1am (which was actually 2am for the time zone in which we’d started). It was awful. However, some people were super nice and supportive, and that was great.
Also, my husband surprised us at the airport during our long layover, and that was awesome. I cried intensely. Happy crying that time, though. The rest of the night, it has been misery crying and exhaustion crying. Also, I clearly have some kind of bug now, as my throat ended up on fire before we ever got on our last flight. So, that sucked on several levels.
I pray that I be healed by morning, please. Keep us safe, make us well, and keep us whole. Thank you for the love today. In your name, I pray. Amen.
