Oh goody. I might as well start knocking back shots right now.
As always, everything has been left up to me to take care of. And there is sooo much to do.
And traveling with a 2 year old and a 4 year old is not easy. Nor is it fun.
We had originally planned to leave this afternoon when I got off work early but I am having to work all day so we will leave in the morning.
I am so not even going to get the boys dressed. They can stay in their pajamas.
Things done:
I have their car bag packed. Hopefully, I packed enough stuff in there to keep them occupied for at least half the drive. If I remember correctly, this is what is in their travel bag:
- 2 boxes of crayons and 2 coloring books (we all know that they won't share)
- Monk Man's Leapster 2
- Bobblehead's "Laptop"
- a couple of Baby Einstein books I got in the mail Saturday
- a few action figures (X-Men, G I Joes, Little Peoples)
- the new V-Motion (because Monk Man won't let it go in their suitcase)
- some picture books
- and some of their cds
I also have a "secret" bag packed with juice boxes, suckers, Teddy Grahams and 2 candy bars.
Oh, and I found their beanies, mittens AND hoodies already.
And stuff I have to do still:
- pack clothes
- pack Bendaroos
- pack some books and magazines for me
- buy MIL some nacho cheese (her Walmart wont carry the good stuff)
- find the phone chargers
- find my sunglasses
- pack bathroom stuff (makeup, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, tweezers, nail clippers, hair brushes)
- find a blanket big enough yet small enough for the car
- pack up the gifts
Plus, I guess we are doing some kind of cooking competition thing. MIL said that they got the idea from Top Chef. Ummm, we don't watch Top Chef so I have no idea. All I know is that I have to come up with something to cook. Riiiight. I think she forgot that I can't cook. Hubbs, BIL and step FIL are cooking the main dishes. MIL and I are cooking sides.
After days of stressing about this (because I can't even make Crescent Dogs without someone getting food poisoning) I have decided on either my Baked Mac & Cheese or Fancy Mashed Potatoes.
I am still keeping my fingers crossed that I get to leave work early (due to no business, that is another blog post) so I can make a dent in all the shit I still have to do. Even if I do get out of here early, I am sure I will still be awake at midnight trying to get everything done.
It is going to be a giant Red Bull kind of day.
