Vacation

We're taking off on Wednesday to a cabin in the middle of nowhere with all of my in-laws. The cabin is about a 15-hour drive from our house, but Hometown is a half-way point so we will stop there overnight. DH is getting stuck doing the first and last leg of the trip with the girls while I fly in to Hometown so that I can work Wednesday and Monday. It would be nice if we could all fly, but we really need the Suburban to haul all our crap.

Of course, we are totally not prepared. I told the girls to start packing, but I haven't checked what they have put together. I haven't done anything to get my own stuff packed and don't even know what laundry needs to be done.

And then there is all the critters. A neighbor has volunteered to take care of the kittens. (They are doing great, starting to open their eyes and so freakin' cute.) We are boarding Bob. We got an extended feeder for the fish. But the guinea pig-we forgot about the guinea pig. So tomorrow I will be scrambling to find someone to watch the guinea pig. Ack.

And of course I am trying to pack an entire week's work into 3 days. I didn't get home until 9:30 tonight--which didn't help with my packing situation. I have spent three days trying to figure out the million dollar question--literally. My research is directly related to whether my client has $1 mil potential liability or $2 mil potential liability. I think I finally found the definitive answer today, but it took forever and now I am behind on everything.

I should really try to get something done tonight, but really, I just want to go to bed. But if I don't do anything tonight, I have to do it all tomorrow. Wednesday I head straight to the airport from work. This is going to be a long short week.
