Only 6 days until we leave....

[princessalexis]

And I have no idea how I am going to get everything done to get ready to go!!! This was kind of a last minute trip to begin with, but when I started planning it about a month ago, I was so excited (well, I still am) and I even started packing some stuff. I usually save everything till the very last minute (like packing up to the minute I have to leave the house), but I already packed most of DS's stuff. I also started on what was going to be a very detailed itinerary of our trip, but all this everyday living life stuff got in the way.

I pretty much have to get the bulk of everything done today (laundry and planning), because it's going to be a very busy week. I'll hardly be at home all week with working and various commitments. Luckily we started a new flex schedule at work so I have Friday off. That means I'll have most of the day to do all the last minute stuff without a toddler in the way since I'll be taking him to daycare so I can run all my errands.

I'm getting so nervous about this trip! DS is usually an angel, but we do have the occasional meltdown (apparently we've hit the terrible twos). I just want to make sure I plan well enough (and pack enough stuff as "distractions") so I can make this trip as smooth as possible.

Thanks for letting me vent!

YEAH!! You're a day ahead of me!

It does sound like you are very busy...that will make the week fly by. That can be both good & bad!

I hope you and your family have a magical time!

Counting today we have only 4 days until we leave, and I haven't packed a thing! Yikes. It's hard to pack when you're keeping it a surprise from the kids. I'll have to start in earnest tomorrow morning while they are in school. I'm usually a list-maker but this trip (also semi-last minute as we decided to go a month ago) it seems I'm just winging it. Not good!! I'll have to make my lists this afternoon. This morning we are all walking in a fundraiser for our local Hospice House as my Dad died there 18 months ago and it's a wonderful place. That's taken up a lot of my thinking but after it's done I'll be ALL DISNEY and getting so excited to tell my girls where they are going on Thursday morning!

You are not alone! We have 4 days until we leave and I haven't packed a thing! I had a super busy, stressful week at work and I can't seem to get myself motivated. I am sitting on the couch reading The Dis! Yikes!

It's pretty easy to keep it a surprise for a 2 year old. I'm not sure if he knows what I mean when I tell him he's going to meet Mickey.

And I suppose I could be getting a lot done right now if I wasn't still lying in bed with my laptop reading the DIS. But it's not as fun if I'm not rushing around like a crazy person at the last minute!

I started the laundry... Does that count?

 

[princessalexis]

Starting the laundry totally counts. Since I keep putting off my laundry, I've had to take out some of the clothes I already packed for DS so he could wear some clean clothes to daycare! I am so lazy.
