17 days until we fly out! We’ll be pulling the suitcases out this weekend and putting them in the front room. Then, it’s time to start sorting, packing and organising what we are going to take overseas. We’ll be in Canada and the US for nearly four weeks, so we’ll need a few changes of clothes (yes, an excuse for Lorraine to go out and buy new clothes!!). I also need to make enough meals for Bundy and Chardy for the time we’re away; that means buying the chicken and beef mince from our local produce store, cooking up the vegies, added a few handfuls of bran and then packing it all up in little freezer bags. We don’t expect Mum or Dad (or Lorraine’s Mum) to prepare the food for our dogs. Lots of other prep too; Lorraine getting nails and hair done, me getting a hair cut, writing lists for Mum and Dad …. oh, and lets fit work in there somewhere as well!
Speaking of which .. back to it 🙂
Jealous!!!! I remember that hectic feeling… you write a list of everything you need to do before you leave, then everytime you manage to tick something off, you happen to think of 3 more things to add 🙂 all worth it though! Also remember the dog-food-cooking-a-thon (house smelt beefy for days). Have fun!
A few things need to be mentioned here …”Mr Right” left out a few things ….chookies also need food ….that will be attended to as well ……and the teacher has heaps to organise before she can think about herself ….end of term assignments and tests need to be marked ….AND the work for the class for the 2 weeks I will be away ….(P.S. Did you know teachers work 9 till 3 …I wish !!!!!) ….. and I might mention …on the side ….Mr Right’s job load is less than half of mine …and those tasks have been assigned to Mr Right …by me! ….Mrs Always Right!!!!!!!
