I love going on a nice trip with my family.
But I hate packing for it.
They all pack for just themselves. I pack for myself plus all of the stuff we’ll need from the time we hit the road until the time we return. All the linens. All the towels. All the kitchen items we can’t do without. Snacks for 7 for the car. A picnic lunch for the road. O Sweet Jesus, make the packing be finished soon so I can get to the relaxing part!
Maybe I should order the T-shirt shown above (www.zazzle.com) to wear once a year (well, it might be suitable for more than one occasion . . . .). But in the meantime, I’m going to eat some M&Ms, pray there’s some wine left in the fridge later, and then suck it up and keep packing. It is, after all, a vacation, so I can’t stay aggravated for too long!

Sounds like me every weekend when we go to the lake! And my husband just can’t figure out why I get stressed or why I’m so particular about doing something my way!
I’m always the last one out the door because I do a complete visual sweep of the house – including the refridgerator! Everytime I haven’t – something gets left behind.
Good luck and don’t choke anyone!
If I had that tee it would get a lot of wear
I feel your pain. Why is it nobody else ever offers to gather the beach towels and sunscreen or get the beach chairs and umbrellas out of the basement storage area? Are we truly the only ones that know where that stuff is located? I think not!
That tee shirt is PERFECT!! I couldn’t say it better!!! I love your blog – very creative!! I look forward to your future posts!
