T minus four and counting....

Well, its four more days until we go traipsing off across the country and we still need to do the following things:
1. get shower gift for neighbor (won't be at the shower, but she's a real sweetheart and we missed the wedding)
2. give the neighbor instructions about the cat
3. pray that Baby travels well
4. stop the newspaper delivery
5. stop the mail delivery
6. pray that Baby doesn't trash something in the RV
7. make sure we have all the food we need to bring with us
8. make sure the kids have enough presentable clothes (its amazing how much ripped, stained, too small stuff they wear day to day that goes under the radar)
9. pray that Baby doesn't injure himself
10. make sure we have enough drugs for every one
11. gather up the toys for the trip
12. pray that Baby doesn't injure anyone
13. pack the kids' goodies bags (its six hours a day in a tin can, the least I can do is give them a treat)
14. make sure we have all the educational stuff together ('cause I'm a home schooler and I can't help myself)
15. pray that Baby doesn't wear us out
16. make sure the dude fixing our bathroom knows what's going on.
17. reschedule all the doctor's appointments we're going to miss because I was too lazy to look at my calendar while planning the dates for this trip
18. pray that Baby doesn't trash the grandparents' house
19. clean the house in case a burglar breaks in
20. do all the laundry so we have the full assortment of torn/ill fitting clothes to choose from when packing
21. make sure the iPod has all the tunes and teaching seminars on it
22. make sure we have enough batteries to power all the flashlights and toys we're bringing
23. pray that Baby comes home with us

I think its easier to get a shuttle into space than plan a vehicular trip with small children.
