So we’re going out of town sans-kids next week, and this
week I was SUPPOSED to be out of town for work but it got canceled last minute.
I did a happy dance. But now I’ve got my in-head list of things I want to get
done this week but I haven’t committed it to paper. So hey! You get my list.
This is what I’ve done so far, and what I need to do:
Monday- cleaned my closet. I don’t know why, except that my
husband wouldn’t let me start laundry at 7:30pm, but now my shoes are organized
and my clothes are organized and also I cleaned the kitchen.
Tuesday – no one was home to tell me what cleaning I should
and should not do, so I cleaned the boys’ bedroom thoroughly (found: watch!)
and did three loads of laundry (I can also disclaim that I’m cooking every
night too; we tend to fall back on take out when we’re amping up for something
and I really didn’t want to spend that extra money).
Wednesday – today the getting ready for the actual trip
starts. I made lists of important numbers for my mom and in-laws (they are
splitting the childcare, mostly at my house), wrote medical consent letters and
copied insurance cards. My mom is coming over today to go over C’s car (she’ll
be driving the kids in it, she drives a scooter otherwise) and the route to
daycare. I need to make a list of things that need to be done (gerbil’s water,
watering my deck flowers, change out the water on my green onions). Make sure
she still has a key to my house.
Thursday – clean the bathrooms and sort my earrings and hair
accessories. This way I can decide what I’m taking with me. Start lists of what
I need to not forget to pack (I leave this till the end because I’m a good
packer and don’t often forget things, if I don’t make this list it’s not a big
deal)
Friday – rest.
Saturday – make sure all laundry is finished, pack the boys
for their one night away at my in-laws. We also have a birthday party to go to
and maybe a housewarming if we can get there.
Sunday – mother’s day. We’ll be stopping by my in-laws’, and
otherwise just packing.
Is there anything I’m forgetting?

It is completely and utterly nuts how much planning and tasks need to happen before going away.
This is the second time in the last 12 months you've been to New Orleans and you DIDN'T BRING ME! (of course, C may have been disturbed this time if you had.) :)
