3 hours and counting...

We'll be heading to the airport in a half hour.
I'm so glad I took yesterday off work. I spent the day tidying the house, running last minute errands and getting things ready. I was able to do it without freaking out about time.

I took an herbal sleep aid last night, not sure if it was that or fatigue, but I slept well. That is, until Pete's alarm clock started going off at 5:47am. It accidentally was set two hours fast and showed 7:47. That sucked, because it took me an hour to get back to sleep!

On a very sad note, a Russian adoptee died in Virginia this week. Most of those reading this that are PAPs or APs, already know this, but the non-adoptive parents may not. He had been home just months, and was a toddler. His father (presumed accidentally) left him in the car all day in sweltering heat. As a result, it looks like three US agencies have been banned. At least two agencies are confirmed, though one is not. I can't imagine what the family is going through now. I guess I feel for the adoptive mother the most, because she has lost her son and nearly her husband, who has been charged with manslaughter. What a horrific tragedy.

Well, I'm off to eat breakfast. Then we will leave in about 15 minutes!

I'll hopefully get the wi-fi figured out quickly tomorrow and post once we are in Moscow and rested.
