Cleaning food out of the fridge so you don't have a stinky house when you get back, doing all family member's laundry so they can pack, finding someone to feed the cat and get the mail (and dad had to ask a friend to start up the furnace in the case of extreme cold weather, which I wouldn't doubt around here), etc. etc. All the while trying to pack your own suitcase and not forget your toothbrush!
I'm realizing now how much stress and work is put on the woman of the house in times like these. Mom wasn't kidding when she would say, "Vacation is too much work!" I really should have helped her out more.
However, tomorrow morning at approximately 5am the stress will end, and we will be headed to the Outer Banks for a week.
Its really bitter sweet; Mom was so looking forward to this vacation! A huge beach front house, hot tub, heated pool, elevator in the house (how cool is that? :) )....and did I mention its a huge house about 50 feet from the beach? :-)
One minute I'm kind of excited, and the next I'm in tears refusing to go because I don't want to go without Mom. I guess I'll just have to see how it goes once we get there.
Anyway, check back here for pictures and updates during the next week! I'll have lots more time to post and have lots of nice 'make you jealous of where I am' kind of pictures :)
I'll start with this one:
