Frantically shopping and sorting...

Today I scored four new kitchen towels for free (after the gift card I had for Kohls), bought three ink cartridges, found planners for my kids, and stocked up on glow sticks. Oh the shopping lists that being a teacher in Zambia create! I'm really tickled though because now I have cool *me* kitchen towels instead of the ones inherited with the house. I'm also excited about the ink because being able to use my printer makes my life better.

I started sorting the things I've accumulated into "now" and "later" piles, and started trying to think of the crazy places where I might have left things. I hate this part of leaving. The part where you are trying to juggle what you will need before you go, what you need to do before you go, and wadding through the feelings that inevitably come. It's a good thing that I can lean on my heavenly Father for strength and comfort during this time.
