Working for Vacation
Each morning when my son climbs into the car and we set off on our drive to Day Care he counts down the number of days until Saturday.
One more day! He announced cheerfully as we hit the road this morning. He’s right, after today we will have one more day. One very long, very busy, very anxiety-producing, very gruelling day before we go on vacation. Don’t get me wrong, I really really want to go but gosh darn it. Packing up a family of four to go on vacation? Well, it’s not picnic if you know what I’m saying.
There’s the particular foods no one can live without (yogurt sticks) the thermometer because you just know we’re going to need it, towels, band aids, shoes, clean undies, baby shampoo, binkys, camera, extra batteries, phone charger, computer, DVDs, ALL OF IT. Somehow I need to find time to magically pack all of this into suitcases that will fit into the back of the car and still manage to get myself in the car as well with a teensy bit of sanity.
Okay, so the sanity thing is not required. It’s almost gauranteed I will lose it at some point, but once we actually get there I am hoping it will find it’s way back to me slowly.
Help an organizationally challenged mother out. What are your best tips for travelling with the five and under set. I’ve already stockpiled some new books and toys to keep everyone busy during the trip. Any packing pointers for me? Suggestions? I’ll take them!
