It's amazing how much stuff you need to go away for such a short time with a toddler. I find that by the end of my packing bonanza I feel as though I have packed enough stuff for a small nation. There's so many 'worse case scenarios' to consider. Perhaps it will be cold, or hot, or rainy, or James will get the runs and need 10 pairs of pants. You never know really. And that is why my packing will begin tonight for our Friday departure. Our last weekend outing I ended up packing 4 pairs of pj's for James and not a single piece of clothing for myself except for a pair of jeans. This time I am going to be prepared for everyone... probably with 10 pieces of luggage at the end, but I refuse to forget anything this time.
I also need to make my way back to the grocery store. Yes...believe it or not, we are out of groceries yet again. I am trying to postpone this event until Thursday. We will see how that works out. Not much new really. The pants are getting just a bit snug, but I should be able to squeeze a few more weeks out of them before I am in to stretchy waistbands. And I have had a lot of freelance work to keep up with. Just when I think I'm getting a break I get bombarded with more work. I'm not complaining...I love it. I consider myself very lucky to be doing so well in the bad economic times, especially since I have not once tried to go out and get business. If I made an effort I feel like there's no way I'd be able to work full time and do all these side jobs.
Well, went for about a 3 mile run today. It was okay, but I've been pretty tired this week, and am looking forward to a relaxing weekend to catch up on some rest. Oh...wait a minute, I forgot CAMPING + TODDLER = no rest. I'm still looking forward to some time with my family though.
