In exactly three weeks from this moment in time, we will be approaching the tiny island of Taiwan. I am excited about finally meeting my daughter. I am nervous about the first meeting with her. And I’m mildly panicked about all of the things left on my to-do list.
My husband has reminded me that as long as we have clean clothes, a passport, and the paperwork needed to get her visa, we’ll be ok. The rest of the list can be left undone and our world will still move forward. He’s right! I keep reminding myself of that even as I keep cleaning.
Today I am going to fill out one last form that’s required for our girl’s visa and gather the rest of the paperwork we have to take to the visa appointment. I’m also going to keep working on our kitchen. The top half of the kitchen is decluttered, scrubbed down, and organized. Now to tackle the bottom cupboards, the fridge, and the floor.
Three more weeks until we arrive in Taiwan! 26 days until we meet our daughter!
Hopefully by then the typhoons will all have moved out of the area. Do what you can and let the rest go. Motherhood is a big enough prize.
You have a good husband who reminds you of good things. 😀 The To Do list IS always there…. but I always feel like i’m in a mad dash scramble to accomplish as much as possible BEFORE I leave. 😀
Yes! Like for some reason I think my whole house needs to be spotless before we leave! Does it really? No! But I want it to be… lol I think I’m just going to do as much as I can this week and then say good enough. Glad to know I’m not the only one! 😉
