T-Minus 80 hours and counting

So, we're less than 80 hours away from leaving on a jet plane to a very warm, (hopefully) very sunny beach near the equator and this is what my "do list" still looks like:
  • pack my bag
  • pack the kids' bag for 3 days in Oklahoma
  • clean the house because grandma and grandpa will be here later next week for the second shift of Camp Grandkids
  • find a copy machine so I can make copies of the medical releases, the insurance cards, directions to every entertainment option for the pre-k crowd in town, maps, passports
  • mow the yard
  • do some minor drywall repair
  • glue a cabinet door back together (not sure how to do this, but I might try anyway)
  • wait and hope with my fingers crossed that the repairman can fix my washer tomorrow. If not, we'll all have suitcases filled with dirty laundry before our vacation even starts. Or I'll have to find a laundromat somewhere.
  • get to the big blue superstore for groceries to last through next week
  • get travelers checks
  • clean out the minivan
Throw in a couple of gymnastic practices for E, a trip to the doctor and a playgroup before Friday morning and it makes my head spin! Of course this would have to be a week where Eli is traveling again. He won't be back until late Thursday night, just in time to sleep, pack and leave, so we'll see how much of this list I can get done before I surrender! And it's midnight now, so I'm headed to bed. If I make it to wheels up on American Airlines on Saturday, I think the first thing on my agenda will be a nap.
