Insomnia

2. More. Weeks. Five weeks is long enough.  I'm ready for them to come home.  And I can't sleep thinking about it.  And about other things.  Because once they come home: 1. Will I arrange the perfect homecoming?  Will they get the right amount of time with their parents? With their friends?  Alone, because they haven't been alone in seven weeks. 2. Do I need to get them checked for lice and have their laundry done by a professional like the other moms? 3. How will I have enough time to get all their laundry done and everything organized before we leave for Florida? 4. How will I have time to pack for Florida and the cruise for myself and for them while also working and spending time with them? 5. Is it weird if they come home and don't want to hug me and kiss me endlessly? 6. Will they be okay in school this year? 7. Will I do a good job of planning their activities while balancing a need for busy-ness with time for homework and time for laziness?
