Down to the Wire

The placement date is looming. I've been calm for several weeks but I just had a moment of panic. Are we ready? Are we really, really, really ready?









I guess so...

Nobody is ever ready. On-the-job training is simply required. In a few weeks or months you will have to write the obligatory "I knew it would be hard but..." post. (Or not, I could be wrong.)

But I think you are as ready as it is possible to be, and you will rise to the challenge.

I'm excited too. It's been a long time coming!

You're as ready as you're ever going to be, my dear.

You already know it will be hard, the unknown is how you'll respond. For me, a police-style Taser, Lexapro and Xanax have been really, really helpful. But we have Schillinger lurking, and you don't.

You will be fine. I can't wait to hear about the ride.

I wasn't ready. You can't be. Like Maerlowe said -- you're as ready as you'll ever be.

Get lots of sleep.

Stop for a few minutes each day and just listen to how quiet your home is.

Take yourselves out to a nice dinner with friends.

This is the end of all of that.

But it is so worth it.

I think every parent has that moment of panic before the kid arrives (and probably several times after, too)!

But you have done a lot to educate yourself and be prepared.

I agree with Torina -- get lots of sleep! And go see a movie. It'll be a lot harder to do that in the future :)
