Airshipment

Today our air shipment came. All morning I sat by the window, listening for the truck to drive up the street. I was so excited when it got here, I rushed downstairs to open the door.

I’ve never been so excited to see ten boxes. Well, maybe at Christmas when I was little.

Our shipment included:

  • pots and pans

  • halloween novelties

  • Kaitlyn’s plastic pumpkin

  • big bin of Kaitlyn’s clothes

  • towels

  • sheets

  • thick blanket off our bed

  • alarm clock

  • my turtlenecks and sweaters

  • the rest of Bill’s hanging clothes

  • my hanging clothes I know I didn’t want airshipped (two sleeveless blouses? Please)

  • coats for each of us

  • two pairs of my shoes (including boots Kaitlyn now wants)

  • Kaitlyn’s second car seat, so both cars can always have one

What our shipment DIDN’T need:

  • towels (what was I thinking?)

  • sheets (what was I thinking?)

  • alarm clock (that needed to be in the suitcase. We ended up buying one at the Atlanta airport, and, boy, what a good idea that was of Bill’s)

  • most of the hanging clothes of mine that came

  • I’m undecided on that thick blanket

What our shipment SHOULD have included:

  • pillows. The pillows here stink.

  • Some of Kaitlyn’s toys

  • some of Kaitlyn’s books

  • another book or two in English I can read

  • Yahtzee

  • more dvd’s

  • more hangers (especially for Kaitlyn)

  • the rest of the extra soap and toothpaste and stuff I bought to stock up on that will be long gone by the time our sea shipment makes it here at this rate

  • pictures, to try to make us feel more at home. Thank goodness Chris gave me a picture of her and Bill before I left.. it is the only picture we have on display. And I love to look at it. It makes me smile
