So Much To Do, So Little Time

I'm not too sure what to write about today. I've got many things to do and less than a day to do it. Mary is leaving on her own camping trip tomorrow and she has a to-do list posted for today. I think she is a wise lady, and because I am short on ideas and long on things to do I will create my own list (hope you don't mind Mary!).

So, as of this moment, it is a little after 10:00 in the morning and this is what I have to get accomplished before I hit the sack tonight:

  • meet friend at pool with kids - go swimming
  • go to store and get last minute camping items
  • feed kids lunch
  • vacuum
  • finish laundry
  • pack mine and Isabel's suitcases
  • oversee Mae and Caleb's packing
  • finish packing food stuff and other camping stuff
  • pack ALL stuff in truck
  • call Mom and Dad and see if they prefer beef ribs or pork ribs for Sunday's party
  • order food for Sunday's birthday party extravaganza
You know, now that that I've written it down it doesn't feel so overwhelming! I just may get it all done without turning into super-crazed-stressed-out-mama! Wow. That'd be remarkable and a never before seen event. I'll keep you posted.

I feel crazy stressed out Mama about to make an apperance in our home, I'm afraid! I can't believe how soon I'm leaving. Ack!

My list is a little longer, but I do have an extra day. I need to make a Costco run this afternoon, and then I think the shopping is done. There seems to be camping stuff all over the house since we didn't put it away after our last trip. Hopefully that will make packing a little easier. We will see you Sunday.....I hope the trip up goes well.

How fun to camp in Yosemite! I want to do that again, too.

I love lists, and yours looks great! Have a fun trip!

A list usually makes me feel less overwhelmed about all I have to get done in a given timeframe. I also feel a sense of accomplishment when I get to cross each thing off. Hope camping was fabulous! Miss you here in blogdom.
