As I contemplate the possibility of moving halfway around the world with small children I find myself making mental lists of EVERYTHING.
Kid-friendly Foods I Should Pack in My Suitcase
Medications I Should Pack in My Suitcase
Clothing I Should Buy (and Pack in My Suitcase)
Household Items I Should Pack in My Suitcase
Safety Issues I Should Freak Out About (carseats, malaria)
Vaccinations I Should Run Out and Get (encephalitis and rabies are recommended—eek!)
Questions I Should Ask
Ways to Find People Who Can Answer My Questions
Indian Dishes I Would Like to Learn How to Cook
We don't even know if we'll go yet but my brain is already trying to think of every possible thing I can do to avert disaster, tears, discomfort, adjustment pains, and diarrhea. It's irrational, but comforting to attempt to plan everything. I prefer to pretend that I have control.
And I'm going to need a REALLY big suitcase.
