I shouldn't even be here...

Today is "Pack Up Everything But the Kitchen Sink Day."

Seeing as we're going to the funeral, then on to spring break at the In Laws, I have quite a bit to pack, do, and get ready.

Trip to Target - Check


Post Office - Check


Car gassed and washed - Check





I still need to:


fold three loads of laundry


Clean out the car


Pick #1 up from school


pack two sets of bags for four people


pack up the car


pack snacks, drinks and things to occupy for the car


tidy up the house

Bah! Not enough hours.

My thinking is I'll pack one bag for the kids to share for the funeral stop and one bag for the spring break stop. Normally I pack a bag for each child, so we're cutting the bags by one and we won't have to unload the entire car each stop.

I cried a little bit last night as I picked out my funeral clothes. Dare I say it's been 'nice' to have a week between the funeral and her death? It's given me a bit of time to 'process' my feelings and thoughts.

This is going with me:



Have a pleasant weekend everyone.

You forgot one thing. A trip to the liquor store. I always do that before any trips to see my IL's, it's essential for survival.

Seriously though, have a safe trip. Hang in there.
