We're Last Minute People - Friday Packing

So, we're last minute people.... Well, scratch that... I'm last minute people, which Travis ends up in the category by default. Its not like he can just leave me behind, that would make him a jerk.... so because I'm late, unorganized, a bit of a control freak....he is a last minute people too. We didn't pack until Friday night. I ended up having to work late on Friday, coupled with the fact that EVERYONE knew I was headed on vacation Saturday morning, everyone at work (customers included!) all got terminal cases of "Amanda... I need this....". What was supposed to be an easy day to just "tidy" up my desk became this mad rush of things that had to get done and me scrambling to do it. I am terrific at my job (self proclaimed...) and I did manage to pull it all off....but an hour later than planned and was late getting home.

Back to the we didn't pack until Friday night part.... We (well... I) put it off all week. I had millions of excuses to not get things started. Needed to pick up sunscreen and happened to "need" to shop along the way.... Needed to pick up dinner and happened to stop at the mall just in case I missed something at Macy's. So Wednesday was the DAY to get things started. Travis has masters school on Thursdays, so if I was going to get anything done before Friday, Wednesday was the day it HAD to happen. Missy Moo.... perfect little princess that she is, decided Wednesday was the day to get sick. So, we ignored it for a few hours, hoping she just had a little upset tummy and in a bit she'd be feeling better. Not the case. She's still sick by 7pm. Where is a vet in Lynnwood? Good question.... we don't know! We hadn't needed one yet. We're doing good, we can get groceries and to work.... Vet?????? It tooks us 2o minutes to find one open that had available spots. Got her there and spent 2 hours to find out... No worms, no parasites....just an upset tummy. THANKS MOO MOO! No packing got done on Wednesday.

So, back to packing. We finished about 10:30. But, I still managed to forget a pair of jeans and white sweater I wanted to bring.... (LIKE WE NEEDED SWEATERS! Its 90 degrees people!!!) We drove to Jenn's house (Manda's sister who got the privilege of watching the babies... Toby and Missy. see above.). We spend the night on the couches (because we got to sleep for a whole 5 hours!! No point in messing up sheets for that.
