This trip is going to be harder than normal for me, because I have to pack for the boys. Normally Mom does that because I
These two facts are not, of course, unrelated.
For this trip, I started the packing process yesterday morning. I made Corwin do most of his own packing, although I tried to double check what he had (hmmm…maybe he forgot to pack something, I’d better check again — hold on a sec…). I packed for Charles, who doesn’t need underwear yet, just shirts, socks and shorts. As of now, I’ve got all the clothes packed and the electronics gathered (like my GPS, cell phone charger, cameras, extra mouse, etc.). I just have to get the toiletries together in the morning. We don’t need to be on the road until 8AM, so we shouldn’t be too rushed. Corwin is used to getting ready by then and Charles I can just stuff in the van. Hopefully I won’t be up too late packing tonight, although I know I’ve forgotten something major because I’ve only filled (not overstuffed) my large rolling luggage and Corwin’s (small) rolling luggage is only about two thirds full. Sigh. I’m sure I’ll remember after we’re on the road for an hour or so.
Have a good trip tomorrow. I know all about those packing fears - packing way too much because you never know what you might need. Susan must not have inherited that gene from me!
