At last I move the clothes from ON TOP of the suitcases to at least half way INTO the suitcases!

I finally stopped just piling clothes on the suitcases and attempted to pack them INTO the suitcases. Damn.  OK, let me revise my plans.  All that I planned to take for myself and two small children will not fit into two carry on bags.  Nope, no way, no how. Double damn. So after much thought (OK and I complained on facebook for a few minutes & my sister told me that I was freaking crazy if i did NOT take a checked bag) I decided to add a checked bag to all that I am taking. MUCH better.  What the hell was I thinking?  A little over a month in Mexico with kids & I was trying to shove everything into...OK OK.  Never mind.  Cut to the chase.  Hello, I am going to Mexico!  And I am half way packed!  And I leave to go to Portland Saturday!  And my flight leaves at 5 :30am Sunday!  And I keep frantically going over my list in my head! I am going to spray some more Rescue Remedy in my mouth and call it a night.  It will all work out I know...it's just that for the count down I may be on the verge of a freak out.  I need to get a grip.  It's just a trip.  It's just stuff.  Just cause I want everything to be perfect does not by any means make that magically happen AND it does NOT mean the trip sucks the big one because I have to make last minute adjustments or forgot something. No indeedy. EEEEK!!!  I LEAVE IN LESS THEN A WEEK!!! ;-)
