hectic last wknd here. my stuff is all gone now- just a suitcase and tv left. not even a bed *sniffle*
i don't know how i can say goodbye to these kids - i really really don't. they are such a part of me...it's going to be intense. i can't even think about it right now.
last night peggy and i grabbed up some sparkling wine and went to a park and were all "cheers to us" and we saw shooting stars, swang on swings, jumped around, and other silly child-like things. it was sooo good to have her here. to have someone i'm so close to come visit me in the environment i've been living in for the last year. i think that will help her to continue knowing me on a level so many people don't. she got the chance to see what life has been like here first hand. spending the entire weekend with her also helped me gain a perspective on what it might be like traveling around europe with her. you know- seeing someone 24/7 and being in situations that *could* be stressful (getting lost in chicago, not finding our bus, etc!).
but despite the small issues in chi town- it went fairly smooth. by day three i was ready for a break from her, and this is where i wonder- if you are bumming around with someone in a dif country for a month...when do you get breaks? i suppose you each just take an afternoon walking in different directions or something...i'll have to find out.
anyways i feel i'm rambling, and not making much sense. and i have to go see the kids, since there is only 2 nights left of them *cries sobs sniffles*
