This weekend and yesterday was spent getting ready for our vacation starting tomorrow.
Here is my checklist:
1. Laundry
2. Clean House
3. Pack
Sounds simple enough right? Well, if I am being completely honest with myself this morning, then let me share with you that NONE of them are done - yet!
Laundry: I have been working on laundry when I can. Unfortunately, the clothes have been taken out of the dryer and laid neatly on the couch to get ready for hangers or folding and well, that pile just keep building! They're getting washed and dried though - that is progress right?!
Clean House: Well, this one is tricky. My excuse is that I have been cleaning house, but the kids are going back behind me and messing everything up again! So, I think waiting until the last minute will suffice for now. Yep, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Pack: I haven't done this because I can't find the clothes I want to take. I'm sure they are on the couch with all the other clothes, but I have a system going and I don't want to mess (more like make them fall) them up. I have resisted the urge to just go buy new clothes and take them to the cleaners like I normally do - well for me anyway - I couldn't resist going shopping for the kids. (They needed new socks and shirts and...yes, I know I have a sickness.) It makes it easier on me to pack for them - doesn't that count?
Now, I am setting here making another list for all of the things that I need to do outside of the home to get ready - oh man! I'm never going to finish - there needs to be two of me!
And all I really want to do is go home and go back to bed. I have been up since three this morning and I am feeling every bit of the beckoning sleep I missed! Ugh!
The good news is that Mr. Strong and I talked about and agreed on hiring a private maid. YAY! Go me...go me...it's my birthday - doing the cabbage patch - running man, running man!
The bad news is that I will not be posting until next Monday about my vacation! I'm going to miss it! If it gets too bad, I might slip in a small post somewhere or a status update on Facebook or something - so follow me there too!
Until next time - enjoy your week and weekend - I KNOW I WILL! But, if you just can't take it any longer and need a spark of motivation or laugh out loud entertainment later on this week, just review some of my older posts and "get in touch" with me again! It's that easy...lol.
