Countdown of events to EVENT

Well the surgery is done.  The perscriptions are refilled.  The children have graduated.  Paperwork is done and  we are quickly taking care of the rest of the things.  What amazes me most?  How much stuff I have in my home that now qualifies as trash.  Several loads every few days and there is still more.  why did I keep everything building up all around me when in the end it is really just trash?
     I am pretty much useless as I can't lift anything, but I give orders to whomever is here.  There are so many things to do that I don't feel like we will really get it all done.  My oldest comes to visit next week.  Some adventures to be had there I hope.  Then it is pack and donate and trash until there is nothing more. But a few boxes of mementos and a trailer full of anticipation.  Our son who is autistic is have blowups regularly again.  It is times like this that I question the reality of my kids thanking me for this.  I mean surely there are some kids that are like we hate this we want a home.  I can find everything bad that is ever happened, is believed to have happened, and might possibly happen on an alternate universe online line except teenagers that really think this lifestyle sucks.  And teenagers pretty much think everything sucks.   So is it because we don't want to write about it for fear they will see the weakness and expose us for what we really are?  Overgrown teenagers with an extra layer of fat and no more real answers to our problems then them?  Or do they truly not exist because this really is living your dreams?   Well in about eight weeks we should have our answers.  With three teenagers and two what I believe are so lovingly called tweens.  The world will either come to an end, or we will be the coolest parents ever.  As I have yet to pull off the second feat with any flair, I still feel as though I should put my money on the first, but I don't wanna.  Remind me to tell you about our family hiking experience sometime.  That one still baffles me.  I wish I could communicate more effectively with these creatures of the night.  When I manage a brief glimpse I fall on love with their inept passion and loyal desperation.  I am so excited to be surrounded by a passel full of these amazing creatures.  And so it will be in just 2 weeks.
