Packing up

I am packing up my house, we are all going on vacation, and not together. Hayley and I are off to Minnesota on Monday for a soccer tournament where I get to be mom to a team of 16 year old girls. Kate and Billie are off to San Diego with their Dad. It was crazy here for the last 3 hours. Everyone was trying to find all their items for the suitcase, including me. Why as woman we feel the need to have the house clean before we leave the city? As soon as all the girls come home and dump their suitcases full of dirty laundry it will look like the gypsy camp we live in once again. But here I was with the vacuum out, printing out boarding cards and on the phone with rogers for a US plan. No one can multi task better than a mother on a mission. I know when I arrive at my destination something will be forgotten. As long as it is not a kid, everything else can be handled by a visa. Who said getting away was relaxing?
