Do you ever have those days? When you have so much to do and yet you find yourself laying on your bed, your laptop open, perusing all your favorite blogs to see what all your cyber friends are up to? Well, that has been my morning. We leave in 4 days for Cali, we will be there for 10 days and my todo list is 5 miles long. Not just stuff for the trip, but once I get back, I will have just about 10 days til moving day. And that 10 days will be VERY full as the kids will be out of school, I will still be working and as of my convo yesterday with the Bishopric, I will be in my calling until I am gone. Oh and did I mention, Hubby will be staying in Cali to work. So I will be handling all theses details on my own. And yet, here I lie. Filling my 1000 Moments blog with pictures that make me smile from my Blackberry, my hair up in a towel, and my list growing longer, while time grows shorter... oh, the life a procrastinator.
It's moments like these I wish I was more like my sister Amy and my mom. 4 days ahead they have long detailed lists with many items crossed off, others in progress and a plan of when and how to accomplish it all. I have lists, I have lots of lists, 3 on my whiteboard, several in my notebook, and a couple in different programs on this very laptop, plus I think one or two on my desktop computer down stairs, but nothing is crossed off, and nothing is really in progress.
So I guess now is as good a time as any. I will shut my laptop and will myself to work. I must wash and replace bedding today, (is this too soon Amy? Should i wait another day or 2?) I must get the animals to the groomer, get copies of their vaccinations, get to the grocery store for a few items we need before we leave, take bags to DI, clean up the living room so I have somewhere to start organizing stuff that will go with us, and hopefully get to the scouting office as apparently they can't find ty's records. And that is all hopefully before the kids get home at 1:30. Oh, and maybe i should at least brush my wet hair before then.
It's all ready 10 am, i guess I will go now... wish me luck.

I'd wash sheets about 2 days before you go. That way they'll be nice and fresh when you get home. Good luck on the list. I wish we had more firm dates and so I could start all my lists!!
