Countdown to departure…
The mad dash to get ready for camping has begun. It’s 12:30 at night and I am still washing clothes so we will all have everything we need. How many towels do you take for 6 people for 2 days? I know when we were kids we’d string our used towels up to dry to use again. I know that sounds gross but packing 18 towels just isn’t feasible or sensible. I figure 2 towels each. 1 for the beach and 1 for the bath. I don’t know…12 towels seems like alot. I guess we will make do with however many we bring. I can’t find Ds3 swimming trunks. He has 2 pair and they just disappeared into thin air. I am packing PSP’s, Gameboys, leapfrog games, DD’s barbie laptop…anything to keep them busy and happy. I am also packing coloring books and Ds3 Cars (from the movie). Also, I am packing sand toys for the beach. Entertaining 8 kids (4 are mine, 4 nieces) for 3 days will be challenging. DS1 is bringing his Harry Potter book 7. He has already read it, but he says he is gonna re-read the best parts again. I’m gonna pack me some books as well. i will be sitting on the beach with the young’uns so I will get bored very easily watching them play in the sand.
I just hope I don’t forget anything important. I just remembered, I don’t have a sleeping bag for myself. Oh, well i will see if Mom has one I can borrrow. If not I will be fine with my comforters.
I still have tons to do. Need to pack my own bag. I just realized I bet we are about out of conditioner. Ahhh!
I am happy to report I made my hell week goal of 450 minutes!!! I AM AWESOME!
Mom And Sis4 are gonna take care of my doggy and the kitties while we are away. I wonder if he cats will even notice we are gone!
Well ladies, i will be back on Saturday to tell you all how it went. Have a great end of the week.
