I Had To Leave the Kitchen Sink Behind

We are on our way. Ian is sitting in the airport in Seattle and I am sitting in the Chicago Airport. I am headed directly for Moscow, he is going through Amsterdam.
I woke up this morning to a message from Russia. It was Tanya, our translator, and she was telling me that they were going to come and get me at the DME airport, then go and get Ian at the SVO airport. First, what you need to know, is that SVO and DME are on opposite sides of the HUGE city of Moscow. I am thinking: "can you drop me off at the hotel on the way??" But more importantly, I brought my entire house with me. Yep, they are surely going to think I am never leaving! We both have 2 monster ski bags loaded to exactly 50 lbs each. That is 4 ski bags! Then, on top of that, we each have a rolling bag we are taking on to the plane. This bag carries the essentials: court attire, chocolate (so it doesn't melt), the more expensive gifts, and our electronics. And, Ian has his computer bag, and I have the PINK diaper bag. (it is a first for me)... How in the world is the luggage going to fit in Alucia's car? Forget us... Even if we sit on the curb, the luggage won't fit! I am hoping Carol gets through to the Moscow office and they get the message to bring a van, or I may have to hire a taxi to follow my luggage home! The real sight is going to be in 10 days when my hotel nights run out and I have to move to the apartment. It is just down the street from the Grand, but Ian will be at home with the boys... Can you imagine me pulling the 3 big ski bags that are mine and Ariana's, plus my rolling bag, plus the (I forgot to mention this) new PINK stroller, plus my pink diaper bag! It will be a Tryverskya first! I might make the newspaper:Moscow Times: Large Apparently Homeless American Female in Flat shoes spotted dragging bags down Tryverskya. I got word from L&E (who also have a child in my orphanage) that Ana is excited we are coming and not eating or sleeping... What kind of Robson is this??? NOT eating! Clearly, they are forgetting the chocolate syrup in the Keefer smoothie and the sugar in the gruel. Don't worry honey! Mama's on the way...and she has chocolate! What I have tried not to think about is how much I already miss my boys. Seriously. Last time I was looking forward to a week with Ian. Just the 2 of us. This time, I am sick to my stomache to be away from all of them for so long. Ian included! Mentally, I know it is best to stay. But, my heart really wants to go home for the 6 days I can. Mentally, I remember how tired and taxed I was from the jet lag after the last trip, and I know that the jet lag from going home and then doubling it, by going right back to Moscow means that I pick her up at my weakest: when I am exhausted. Mentally, I know, that staying those days and visiting her every day has the opportunity to help her to feel more comfortable with me, so that she has 1 less stress factor due to the newness of it all. But, my heart breaks wanting to hold my boys! Thank goodness for SKYPE!
