Packing for a family of five for a cross-country trip is one of those things that no matter how hard you try, you're never quite prepared for. Mainly because there's all this living to do in between--know what I mean?Elementary Girl's been off school all week (her school has a two week fall break, as opposed to Teen Kids' school's upcoming one week). Love her, love her--but every time I sit down to start a post, I hear, "Mom?"
Lol...you moms know what I'm talkin' about.
Anyway, we leave tomorrow for the Big Apple, but before then I still have:
--To buy jeans for Teen Son (He told me this morning)
--All the banking stuff for the trip
--Get Elem. Girl ready for tonight's Cotillion
--Pick up Teen Daughter from mid-day appt., take back to school, then pick up again after school.
--Finish all the packing
--Scrub the house sparkling clean so I can come back to cleanliness--anybody else do that???
I'm sure there's more to do, but this is all I let myself think about at the moment...
And yesterday my new publisher sent me a list of things to do. Fortunately, I'll be able to work on all that on the plane. Flying is not one of my favorite things in the world, so distractions are welcome :)
Attn: Chocolate Lovers: Before heading off to tackle my to-do list, here's a link my Pennsylvania sis-in-law Diane sent me (Thanks, Diane!!!) Find out if you're a chocoholic...I failed miserably, so tell me how you fared!
Have a beachy weekend, my friends--wherever you are! (And p.s. I'll post from NYC whenever I can ;)

Have a great trip Julie!! And yes, I do the same thing - clean before I leave for a trip and if I'm going solo and leaving Hubby behind...then OOOHHHH it better be clean when I get home =)
Have an awesome trip! And good luck with all the things you have to do before you go:)
Have fun on your trip!
Thanks so much gals!
Oh, I failed miserably....I guess I'm unable to proclaim myself as a choco-holic..... LOL
Have a great trip!
