We are trying to get ready to leave, actually we have been getting ready for a few days now. I want to blame my procrastination on my parents being here but I must confess-that would be a lie. I am a procrastinator. There I said it. I am also a perfectionist which is a bad combo since it contributes to the procrastination (for those of you who can't relate...you don't get stuff done because you don't know how to do it 'perfectly'). I am trying at this very moment to just calm myself, you know- out of that wicked mommy who is trying to pack the whole house, and just do one thing at a time. It's ok if I forget something, there is a wal-mart in every town for heavens sake. This is the first time that I am trying to make an effort to be 'happy' not perfect, during the packing up process. It is amazing to me how our minds work like that. We have a lot more control than we realize. I should probably get busy.
This next post is just something that came to mind one day and I went for it. In an effort to beat the procrastination issues I am going to post it. I don't think it's quite done but anyway....

I am the same way! I can totally relate! I even make several lists of the stuff I need to bring and then compare lists to make sure there isn't anything missed. Guess what, when we get to where we are going I always manage to forget to pack Brooklyn's underwear!!!!!!! So, needless to say she has plenty of them!!!
I think it is part of being a mother, we all feel like we need to take care of everyone and everything.
I hope you have some wonderful family time away!
Keep up the fun blog! I enjoyed the coffee post!! So true!
