Peeling my eyes open

So, I've been a mother of a newborn before and I know what that tired is like when you've been up every night for 4, 5, 6 months and are beyond dead tired. I call it the new mommy tired. Well, I have it. After all we've had to do the last two days to get everything for the trip, I am thoroughly exhuasted. I can't function...which is partly from uncontrollable, insane excitement, and new mommy tired. I could sleep for hours if I had that luxury. I have been on the internet and phone non-stop. I talked to I.'s mom for an hour yesterday morning after we got the news in order to book our flights for NH. I did laundry. finished all of our packing, read luggage speculations, weighed the bags, loaded movies and audio books for amusement on the flight, etc. I let everyone know our news. I talked off and on all day with our adoption travel agent. Today, I set our house up to be left for three weeks, finished last minute packing, loaded the car, drove to Denver, and talked to our travel agent on the way. Again, I talked on and off with our travel agent, and I.'s mom. I discussed and scheduled meeting our sponsored child in Ethiopia with Compassion International (SO COOL!). And I finally booked our flights to Africa 45 minutes ago. We still have a lot to do but hope to have a day or two recuperation with nothing to do before we leave for ET. I will have to write about all of I.'s tasks while at work during one of the busiest times of the year...later. Must go take a short break to eat (if I can stuff something down; it's almost impossible to eat right now), and then get back to the grind. Forgive any typos please. *SNORING*
