No wonder we don't take more vacations

This is only a partial list of shit I'm doing to get us ready to go to Kentucky.
1) Do all the fucking laundry. Again.
2) Arrange for dogs to be boarded (puppy at friend's house,big dogs at vet's). Will be dropping various dogs and their various crap off at various places tomorrow.
3) Pack my shit.
4) Pack my 2 year old's stuff, which is a whole hell of a lot more than I'll be packing for me. He has been a big help though; he packed his backpack full of books and toys. He made sure to pack his 'boys'; Elmo,Big Bird,Ernie and Cookie Monster. He also picked out which movies he wants to watch in the van during the drive
5) Arrange for a friend to keep the ferret and the gerbil. The same friend who's keeping the puppy. She's a good friend. I shall bring her a gift.
6) Go to Wally World 517 fucking time to pick up the 517 things I forgot to get the last fucking time I went. Bastards and their low prices for fine quality products(mostly).
7) Harangue teenager into cleaning out the van and cleaning out the fridge. Yes, you're right; it would have been easier to do it myself. I am trying to teach the child a work ethic and good values and all that bullshit. Plus,I'm lazy and it's easier to sit my ass on the couch and fold load after load of laundry.
8) Make advance schedules for work and remind staff time and again that I better fucking not get any phone calls bitching about who won't do what. Put someone in charge who is not ready to be in charge but who fucking better get ready cause her ass is next in line for promotion and she could do it if she'd just grow some balls and tell people how the cow ate the fucking cabbage.
9) Type out this list so that you kind folks can suffer with me.
This is just a partial list. Does not include all the little crap that I will obsess over. Aren't you glad I left that out?
Having said all that; I am SO looking forward to getting to Fort Knox and seeing my kid. I know he's going to be different,we can already tell over the phone. He's grown up. Sob. Had to happen one day,damnit.
