My Life Right Now in Numbers

5:00am - The time we received an automated phone call yesterday, telling us our flight to Chicago was cancelled.

70 times 7 - the number of times I tried to give it to God before finally getting up.

1 time - I was assured by the Expedia agent that our flights were not cancelled.

3 websites - I checked (that confirmed that all flights to and from Chicago were cancelled due to bad winter weather) before concluding that the Expedia dude must have missed a memo.

3 itineraries - that we've had for this flight, thus far. 2 days ago, we were flying to Melbourne through Chicago and Los Angeles, yesterday morning, were were flying through Toronto, and as of 7:00 last night, we are flying through Vancouver.  We hope the third one's a keeper.

4 hours - spent on the phone in total, figuring out how we would get from point A to B.

3 kids - who have firmly lodged themselves in my heart, and show no signs of leaving.

2 great sets of grandparents - who will, lovingly, be taking care of our sweet ones, while dad's at work.

1 husband and best friend - who will be orchestrating kid's schedules, and loving the kids double time.

3 hours - till we leave for the airport.

0 things - that NEED to be done on my To-Do List.  Approximately a million that could be done (including helping my hubby paint - yes, as I write this, he is in the process of purchasing our 4th can of paint in 3 days.  Our basement lies in shambles.)

6.5 hours - till lift off!!

5 people - I can't wait to see on the other end!!

1 more day- till I get to see them!!  They are so worth all this effort.
