I am leaving for a 2 week vacation tomorrow and I have not began to pack. I was asked last night by friends if we were finished packing and I found it absurd that people would be finished packing 2 days before their vacation. But then another person asked if I was finished packing yesterday, too. Wow, some people are really on the ball!
For one, I am doing laundry right now since I don't have enough clothes to last me a full week, let alone 2 weeks. I know I have to do laundry up in Wisconsin, but I don't want to pack dirty stuff and deal with it there. In fact, the outfit I wore yesterday needed to be cleaned today so I couldn't have even done the laundry yesterday. It's going to be hard enough to find something to wear for today that I won't be needing to pack.
For another, I can't pack any of our toothpaste or other toiletry items since I will have to use them once (if not twice) before packing them.
So, what's left for me to pack ahead of time is some towels and sunscreen. Even toys for Andrew on the plane will have to wait to get packed since he has his favorites that he plays with everyday. If I tried to pack his crayons, markers and coloring books, there's no doubt that in a couple hours he'd be asking to play with those.
There is one thing that I'm kicking myself about not doing ahead of time. Taking my cat to my mom and dad's house. Now, I will be taking 45 minutes to drive there, hang out a bit, say good-bye and drive another 45 minutes back here. Hmm, I'm admitting that I should've done that yesterday...
Oh well, I figure that I'll be so busy that, before I know it, I'll be waking up tomorrow a.m. on my way to V.A.C.A.T.I.O.N.! Yippee!
