You fold one up,
You put it away,
And then you start another one!
I know, don't quit my day job.
I'm packing. And doing laundry. And packing, and doing more laundry so I can pack. To say that I am a bit behind the 8 ball on this is to be kind. I've had the last three days off with the girls, and we have just been bumming around, and playing games on the computer. And drenching ourselves in fruit smoothies, and munching on frozen grapes and strawberries. In other words? I have done NOTHING to prepare for the trip. And I am paying for it today.
You should see my living room floor right now. Piles of folded clothes, and other items we need for the trip. I am nothing if not methodical and I like to lay everything out, and make a story. Perhaps it's a little eccentric but it's the only way I can make sure that I don't forget things. I generally would put the piles on my bed but the bed? She is full of laundry that still needs to be done.
It doesn't help that it has been 102 degrees outside to day and humid as all get-out. Add the fact that our washer and dryer are in the garage and I have turned into something that you definitely want to stay down wind of. I think I have lost a few pounds by sweat alone.
All is good. I'm starting to get excited. The more I put things in order, the less overwhelmed I am and the panic is subsiding to a manageable level.
I plan on taking lots of pictures! We'll be out of pocket for most of the time so I won't be on the computer much, if at all.
Hope all of you are well and I'll see you next week!

Have a great trip, Moogie! And quit panicking about the laundry -- it's a holiday,
so the kids can wear dirty clothes for a day or two, right?

That's why I let my wife pack. She's usualy done hers well in advance of me and then helps me out with everything but my camera gear. I wish you a safe trip and thank you for stopping by.
Cheers,
P.

Hope you have a great trip! I have to lay everything out too - it's the only way to be sure you have everything if you can see it all there! Have fun!
