Induction Day (I-Day) is one week from today. That’s the day Mr. A reports to the Naval Academy, takes the Oath of Office, and we say good-bye for six weeks.
I laid awake last night making a mental packing list. I woke up with a knot in my stomach this morning. By the time I got to the office, the rest of my body was in a virtual knot was well.
With only a week to go, I’ve gone into Super Mom mode. There’s so much going on and I’m afraid of forgetting something to do, buy, pack, or bring. But really if Mr. A has all of his required paperwork, then the world won’t come to a crashing end if I forget to pack Kleenex or sunscreen.
As I threw myself into my morning work routine, I glanced at my goofy calendar and noticed that today is “Let It Go Day.”
Very relevant advice.
I’m going to follow the theme of the day and Let It Go. I’ve been stressing about such silly stuff lately and it’s so not worth it.
As Henry Jones, Sr. says in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:
Indiana, Let it go.

I love the fact that it was "Let It Go Day". Just wish I had know. Hope you can relax a little and enjoy this time with Mr A Lots of prayer and thoughts going up for you and your family.
Indiana... let it go. I LOVE THAT!
I am constantly trying to find ways to let things go. I am usually pretty good about it but sometimes I struggle - just like everyone!
I think it's very important to not stress about things we can't change, or have no control over. The things that we have control over... no need to stress! ;o) It's all good and you will remember everything you *need* and everything else is just... not worth stressing about. :o)
Congrats to Mr. A! :o)
yes, well, a guy who's just been shot by a Nazi has a different perspective.
