This week has been unusual as we have battled disgruntled uncoordinated roofers, readied ourselves for a birthday, and prepared for a ten day vacation clear across the country.
Apparently my mother has been packed since Monday, today Wednesday she had to re-pack. Her preliminary packing was merely a blind shot in the dark for what she might want to wear. I pack outfits. That’s the only way I know how to pack in an organized and minimal manner. I think I have the smallest bag – North Face backpack duffel – I always pack fast and light. I have to keep my hands free.
So mom gets repacked and has to check her suitcase to make sure it’s under the 50lb weight limit. It comes in at a little over 40lbs…… but there’s a problem. The wheels on the suitcase are broke and she has to swap cases. Long story short she’s right at 50 lbs now. Despite really wanting to hit the road and get out the house I stayed calm.
We’re in Saint Louis now, poolside. I’m trying to convince my daughter that she can’t stay up too late because we have to be up at 3 a.m. Our flight is at 6 a.m.
