I should be packing right now. We’re leaving tomorrow on a 2 1/2 day road trip to all parts of New York and I have done nothing yet in the way of packing for five people and a dog (we’re going to a farm. He’ll love it.)
I used to have the kids pack their own toys and books to occupy themselves in the car, but they tend to grab things like plastic tacos and kitchen spoons and things they find really fascinating at the moment but whose entertainment power lasts less than the time it takes us to get to the end of the block. Then they use these things to hit each other the rest of the way.
Okay. I’m going to pack now. Here I go. To pack. Baby steps. Any minute now I’ll start. Ooooh, but I could make cookies instead.
