I still have stuff to take care of - getting money exchanged, laundry, packing - not to mention a fundraising supper, a meeting with my daughter's teacher to review her progress (more on this later) and a baby shower for my niece and grand-niece (and no, I am not that old although that makes me sound like my mother - eek, again!) and an assortement of work-related projects that need to be taken care of before I leave in a week. So much to do - so little time!!!
On the other hand, I've confirmed our reservations, double-checked arrival and departure times, met with the nice people who will be doggy-sitting for us and printed off most of the directions we'll need during our trip (my husband drives and I navigate - it's better that way!) I've updated my email contact list to include my daughter's teacher so that we can share our daily adventures with Finn's class (the way I look at it, emails get where they are supposed a lot faster than mail, especially postcards - I remember, when I was my daughter's age, and my family and I went to Florida. We'd been back for close to a month before our neighbour got her postcard, sent on the very first day we arrived!)
Alas, all is well that ends well. Everything that needs to get done will get done - even if I have to sacrifice a few hours of sleep to do it. Money will be exchanged, laundry and packing will get done and I will have time to spare - it's just that it seems like time has flown!
I even planned for homework for my daughter and her teacher let me down. Finn is doing really well this year and the teacher believes that she can easliy catch-up to where her class will be once she gets back. It isn't like the kid has a tonne of homework - it seems like she had more in the English public Grade 1 than she does in French public Grade 4 (kid is happy about that). It makes getting everything and everybody packed and ready just that much easier so I am, truth be told, happy that Finn has a vacation from homework.
Only nine more sleeps! Eek!
