Did you know that I leave for my trip in less than 3 days?
That's not very much time.
I have a lot to do. I haven't even STARTED packing.
And that means in less than 3 days, I leave my babies for 12 days. I'm starting to freak out.
I had my Mothers Day pedicure scheduled for this morning. Ryan ended up having to work, so we got our favorite babysitter, Katelyn, to watch the kids. I was very organized about the few errands that I had to run after beautifying me feetsies. (yes, it is a real word) Unfortunately, the universe was out to get me!
Post coffee & pedicure...
Stop 1: Bank--to get something notarized, double check our accounts were set up for overseas travel. My mistake, but banker couldn't notarize what I had without Ryan there too. Accounts were NOT set up for travel, like I had JUST DONE YESTERDAY. Glad I checked, but a pain in my butt. Took me 50 min. to do these (or not even do one of them) two things (and the other thing I had ALREADY done yesterday.
Stop 2: Walgreens. Pick up prints I ordered online. Pictures of our little family for the kids to have while we are gone, and one for us to take with. Plus a picture of Ryan and I. I am going to make a little "pocket chart" with a picture of us on a popsicle stick so the kids can move "us" along to see when we will come home. PICTURE ORDER NEVER CAME IN. And they didn't have popsicle sticks.
At this point I am 10 min. late getting home and still have to go to McD's to pick up lunch for Ryan and his coworker and drive 20 min. home. I ran into my girlfriend in the parking lot and of course start crying because I am so frustrated!! Drive across the street to McDonalds...
Stop 3: McD's...order through my sniffling!
Start driving home... dig into the bag for my cheeseburger to cheer me up. They screwed up the order and forgot the french fries for the guys. Not enough time to run back. :(
Now for a quick rest time for the kids and I have to run back to town to redo my errands. Awesome. At least Ryan said he'd treat me to DQ to make up for my morning!!
Hopefully I'm getting all of my bad luck out of the way before our trip.

I am soo sorry Ehlan. That sounds EXTREMELY frustrating! I hope it has all worked out now and everything is coming together. We will miss you while you are gone for sooo long, but I hope you have a wonderful time!
What an awful day--sorry, Ehlan! Why is it that these days happen when we are most stressed and most need everything to go exactly as planned?!
