planning for vacation...

can be exciting and stressful all rolled up into one big emotion. I had to go to Costco and Walmart for some groceries and household supplies. Every time we are finished shopping my pantry looks like this.

I am not sure what to do with all of this due to limited space. Just stack it in I guess. The funny thing is my kids will still complain that we don't have food in the house.

Yesterday was a day of cleaning. I had to make sure everything was cleaned before we leave, but just as soon as we leave the kids will mess it up. I think I might be crazy. Oh well, I guess that's how life is and then you move on.

I made sure I printed up all the right documents in case of emergency. The providers for Jessie have emergency numbers, her room cleaned, her laundry washed, diapers and wipes in right places, bathroom supplies ready and this list can go on.

Now I have to pack. The trick is to pack light so I can add extras when I come home. The airlines only allow 50 lbs per bag I may be in trouble. We will see. Maybe pack less for me so I can buy clothes out there. That might be an idea.

Craig and I are off tomorrow morning for Maui. I can't believe the time has come already. This will be our first time away without the kids. I will try not to worry so much about the kids. I know they are in good hands but what can I say, I am a mother!

Aloha!
