I just can't get motivated...

I leave in 2 days, I'm not packed, I have not shopped for the essentials. My DS 6 is home with what looks like pink eye so we are off to the Dr. this afternoon. I have a horrible cough. I had my eyebrows waxed yesterday and they really messed one up- I need this vacation but why do I feel like I'd rather not go. I can't believe I just said that but its how I feel at the moment.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Sorry you're feeling this way. I think it's normal because even though you are excited I'm sure, planning and packing can be overwhelming and now with your DD to be concerned about, it's probably all related.

Take a break, take an hour to yourself if possible to relax and try to tell yourself whatever is done before you leave is done, what's not can wait until you're return.

I think for me anyway, I always want things to go perfectly and I'm easily let down when it isn't going that way. Put some fun music on and dance around with your daughter. My kids always pull me out of how you are feeling by doing this.

I hope your DD's eye will clear up soon.

Have a wonderful vacation

Sorry to hear that you are feeling this way but you are not alone. I ALWAYS feel like that days before we leave - I actually can make myself sick about it!

I don't like to fly so that is part of my stress. I also still pack for the two kids so I have to make sure I have everything, including things for them to do in their carry-on bag. In the end it all works out and if I forget something I can usually get it there - except for things like our passes and licenses!

I always feel MUCH better when we land in Orlando! Hope you have a great time!

I've read alot of posts where people express the same kind of feelings. From what they have said--it all disappears once you get there.

I have a few days like this before our trips. You'll be fine when you get there. Relax, and take in the experience
