My mind is drifting

I am having a major cases of the blah's today.  Not the kind where I am down in the dumps, yucky feeling, but more the kind of I need sand, sun, and crashing waves instead of the desk I am stuck at. 

Our annual family vacation is coming up and I am beyond ready, mentally that is.  Physically, not so much.  Tons of things need to be finished in order for my little family of 4 to venture away from home for more than one night.  The house must be cleaned, the laundry must be caught up (although that is more of an unrealistic dream), and the list of what not to forget must be written, lost, rewritten, lost again, and finally written for a third time and stuck to the fridge.

Getting a family of four packed for a vacation is about like herding cats.  Did I mention that Thing 1 and Thing 2 are clueless to our plans.  That is a rule of vacation in my house...don't tell the kids.  Thankfully Thing 1 and Thing 2 share a wardrobe, so packing is easier than when they were not even close to the same size.  But alas, everything will be done, and if not, oh well life goes on.
