Procrastinating

We leave for Hawaii in the morning... at SIX in the morning. which means i have to be up by 4. But I'm waiting for laundry to be done so i can finish packing... which gives me time to blog, right? i don't know why but i'm feeling a little melancholy right now... i think it's because this will be the longest we've ever left the boys. jack's done a couple of days but Tate's only done an overnighter. And we'll be gone for nine days. nine. add on to that the fact that i'm pretty sure tate is cutting some molars cuz he's been running a fever and very clingy all day... (which is why i'm doing the laundry at 11:45) i know that they're in the best hands... Brent's parents are watching them, and they'll be in their own house with their own stuff, it will definitely be harder on me than on them. i told Brent that the first 2 days will be great... but then missing the boys will kick in. oh well, at least i'll be missing them in paradise, right?
so on a brighter note... Jack had his first soccer game of the season last night. He did pretty well... he had a minor meltdown in the middle of the game and sat out for a while, crying that he hated soccer and only loved baseball (i think that brought a tear to Brent's eye) then, with some coercion, he went back in and scored his first goal!!!! after that, he figured it wasn't so bad.
