PREPARING

Why am I blogging when I have so much I need to get done?

We're heading out to Ohio for our grandson's 16th birthday. My 90-yr-old mother, who needs a lot of help, is going along. We're leaving tomorrow after lunch. In the morning I have to:

•  Take Mother to the hairdresser
•  Take her dog to board at the vet,
•  Pick up a wheelchair for the weekend,
•  Phen pick up Mothe
•  Leave.  

That means all other preparations have to be done today.

This includes:

• Bathe my dog, who is going with us
• Shower, do hair
• Pack
• Take Mother to the gym
• Skip my yoga class
• Leave at 3:30 with my husband to take care of our granddaughters for the evening. 
• Return from that and watch American Idol with my mother.

So essentially I have to be ready for the weekend by 3:30 today, Thursday, because the rest of the time until departure is taken up.

It's only a weekend. It's the two days before that are the challenge.
