Packing...

Such an overwhelming daunting task. I am blessed to have a mother who has spent a lot of time packing and knows the best way to fit 50 pounds in a suitcase....After five hours and a bit of frustration and lots of moving things around I have 4 packed suitcases and a partially packed carry-on. My bags weigh 49.8 pounds, 48.9 pounds, 69.4 pounds and 70.0 pounds. Unfortunately two of those are going to require excess baggage charges, but I am moving myself and my future classroom to Mexico! As my dad reminded me tonight it's not just a plane trip it's a moving process which unfortunately has to be done through an airplane.

I take off Weds. afternoon at 4 something from Des Moines so we are going to leave home around 11. I still want to stop at a teacher store and buy a puppet (where it will fit, I know not. lol) Off to bed, but I will update soon!
