Well, the packing has officially begun. My cousin is coming to stay at our house with the doggies (OMG I will miss them so so so much!!!), so I am trying to make sure my house is clean, while the girls and I try to keep focused on what needs to be packed and brought with us. It’s been crappy raining and humid today so they’ve been kind of coupled up with me, which means tensions are a tad high.
Their suitcases (that we borrowed from one of my husband’s coworkers, because we NEVER travel) are pretty much packed – our shared suitcase still remains empty.
You see, my husband has a way better fashion sense about him than I do, and is pretty specific about what he will need. Meanwhile, I’m just hoping my “good” jeans are clean when it comes time to leave, because I really don’t have a plan for clothing. Toss in a few undergarments, a few tank tops and a hoodie and call it a win i suppose. Poor guy, this, ladies and gentlemen, is his trophy lol! Isn’t he just blessed?!
I am more concerned about how to pack the food we are bringing. Delilah, my four year old, is so excited and Zoey, my ten year old, is excited but also acting annoyed when I remind her things need to get done. I get that genetic eye roll, the sigh she doesn’t think I hear, and the repetitive “mooooommmm!!! I can’t find stuff I need!!!!!!”.
I am refusing to buy any groceries so as to leave too much to spoil while we are gone. But I am planning on baking some muffins for us to bring, as well as leave a batch for my cousin. That being said, dinner is an absolute free for all for the next two nights. Which is fine by me, as it’s been too hot to really cook a ton anyways.
Keeping the house clean while keeping the kids organized and on task is like nailing Jell-o to a tree.
T minus less than 48 hours to take off…..
WISH ME LUCK!
Because I'm Mommy
