We are headed black to Sweden on September 10th for 3 or 4 months, and I’m looking forward to it, dreading it, and I’m 
also sad to leave family in NYC. I’m a huge ball of mixed emotions. There’s a lot of sorting, organizing, cleaning, packing, and functioning I need to do in order to get ready and I don’t know where to begin. Our daughter Nazmieh will be in Sweden from 9 to 13 or 14 months, so I’ve got to pack for those winter months. How much do I take? What about toys and other baby items? I’ve got to pack for myself, how much do I take? My husband and I need to see friends and say good bye...how we schedule that in? I’m also trying to give my sister and mother plenty of time with Nazmieh. That good bye is going to be full of tears. My sister is so in love with Nazmieh. Not looking forward to those feelings!!! There’s also a bunch of little things like last minute doctors appointments, helping to clean up everything in my mothers apartment that we’ve spread out all over the place since we arrived on June 27th.....my list goes on and I feel paralyzed. I’d like to be exercising too, and doing fun things with Nazmieh (although it’s like 92 degrees in NYC!). I have to prioritize and act, yet I have no idea where to start. I’ve been in situations like this time and time again. Why is it that I still don’t know how to go about this efficiently? Then I start to think, what type of role model am I to Nazmieh? That’s a whole other issue with myself. Ha! I need help!
