Okay so we are getting close to heading to Nampa, Idaho for a long week end. I am getting excited to get on the road, dang!!! But before we go I do have to get some donuts made, pack, and get my million sticky notes in order so I don’t forget anything.
Mama’s items will be the biggest for me, she needs so much extra. I feel like I am packing a huge diaper bag to be honest with you. I mean there’s diapers, the lining that goes in them, the bed pads, the baby wipes ( I swear by those, can’t live with out them) the baby powder, baby wash, baby shampoo. I think that’s it. I know it’s things that my daughter doesn’t have on hand and trust me I have a shit load of it stocked up. I don’t want to have to buy any while I am there, dang that would be nuts, so yep sticky noted that one.
My next sticky note is food for the trip, cold meat, check, cheeses, check, rolls, check, small butter, check, crackers, check, water, check, napkins, check, wet ones for someone’s
messy hands, check, cookies, check. haha damn you would think we are going on an 8 day drive instead of an 8 hour drive huh??? Cheaper and more fun to picnic on the way than it is to stop and grab fast good. We all know what that would mean, McD’s no thanks!!!!
Next sticky note, bring all the baskets, candy, grass, goodies, can’t check that until the car top carrier is put on tomorrow, so that sticky note stays put.
Next sticky note, make enclosure for hot tub, can’t have it break and come home to wet or worse, two dogs floating in the hot tub. Make a dump run, move generator to garage, lock all sheds, secure anything in the yard. Oh yeah hubby can do all that. I have the hard job of putting all the check marks besides the stuff as he completes it, so yeah that’s fair.
All my other sicky notes are completed and tossed, but mmm I have all ready started some for when we get there. The shopping list, the decorating list, the menu list, and it goes on and on and on . It’s fun though and something different to write down and complete. I just feel so good when the last item is checked off and the say so long sticky note. But trust me I have tons laying all over the house and can manage to keep some kind of list going!!!!!
Dropped Max off at the vet’s this morning to get him groomed. Danged if I am riding 8 hours with a smelly dog, that would be a huge no!!! He is so funny, knows where he is too. I get inside and he starts shaking so hard hahaha. It’s a wonder he doesn’t just shake all that shaggy fur right off him. I kind of wish he would, it would be much cheaper for us!!!!
Sad, but dang I am afraid to have hubby gas up the car. Crap $40 brings it a little over half isn’t that nuts? We used to go over and back for that amount. Oh well how can I honestly sit here and put a price on seeing my wonderful granddaughters, daughter and son in law. I will pay whatever it takes cause they are all so worth it to me.
My youngest granddaughter calls me every day on her way to school . Haha my daughter says she asks for the phone the minute she gets in the car. Yeah I know that cause she says “Good morning Grandma, hang on” hahaha. The lil shit puts me on hold while she buckles up. Then once she is settled she just gabs away until she is at school. Yesterday she got real quiet then says “Oh I don’t think I can wait til Thursday, I am so excited” Hell grab at my heart I wanted to jump in the car and head out right then and there!!! This morning she told me she goes to bed two more times then I will be there. Asked if I would hurry when I drove!!!!!! So cute and I am just as anxious as she is to get there.
I could go on and on but nope, will let you all off the hook, get off here and get busy around the house. Un-decorate from St Pat’s day, dust , etc etc etc you all know the drill, right? Gotta get in gear and play “Susie Homemaker ” I guess!!!!
