Countdown!!

So we're 25 days out from our wedding! And today... Tuesday the 15th of September, it only just hits me that we have little to no time left to prepare! There is a lot that we have to do around the house just to host the people we're going to... and if anything had to be done "well in advance"... well then we're out of luck because we're now in the "last minute" realm! I know Kim has been here for the last... 9 months... and I've only just caught on! But that's me... Always slow to catch on...

The big shock is that it's Tuesday... and Mum arrives Friday! In the back of my mind I'm still thinking that "Mum gets here a few weeks from now"... but no! It's in a few days!

So... Love ya Mum! Hope the trip is easy on you! If I can give any advice... I'd say stretch every chance you can (This gives relief from aches and pains that will catch up with you when you land in Canada), bring little ear buds (The foam ones from hardware stores), and even maybe something to cover your eyes (Tacky little sleeping masks are perfect) and sleep any chance you get! If Cousin Judy sleeps too... you can put a little notice on the chair in front of you to "Wake me for meals" so you don't miss out on food. To really help you sleep, bring a light sheet or blanket. A combination of earplugs, sleepmask and a sheet will make all the difference between getting some sleep and being awake for 36hours straight! I have a sheet that folds up in to a wallet size package that is perfect for this reason. OR maybe bring some sleeping tablets or sudafed (Any anti-histamine that makes you drowsy... cold and flu night tablets) which will keep your sinus clear AND help you sleep! This probably seems like a lot of fuss... but the better you feel when you land, the quicker you can start enjoying yourself after a long flight and jetlag!
