"Where's my wife?? And who is this person that takes over when we get ready for vacations??"

Apparently this past week I have disturbed my husband immensely. As I write this I check my handy ticker and we have 7 days 17 hours 36 minutes and 50 seconds until we make our escape to...





Yes!! We're going back!! Anyway, I have been driving Keith crazy this past week...we're mostly packed...and he doesn't get it. All I have heard is, "Can't we just pack the night before??" In my head the dialogue continues as "Sure babe, if we do that we'll only forget about 10 imperative things." I have a plan, I have diagrams, I have lists, and we don't forget anything...knock on wood!! All my prep work is apparently freaking him out. We've only been married 4.5 years and taken several vacations, and he decides to voice this now?? Weirdo...and his input stinks, lol!! I was trying to work out in my head how many swimmers we would need for the little man so I asked Keith his opinion and this is what he does...

Keith: MAJOR eye roll, deep sigh, "Egh, maybe 3 or 5."

Me: "Seriously?? We won't be swimming every day??"

Keith: "I don't know honey, it's just to soon for me to say."

Me: "Well, when should I start asking your input and get logical responses?"

Keith: "You're doing fine, just ask me again the night before."

Me: Glaring daggers...

Right, and not 10 minutes before he's asking me why I packed a particular shirt and I explain that we have one nice dinner to go to while we're there and no, he can't wear a t-shirt. Men!!

Oy, well, things are coming along swimmingly, I should finish everything up this weekend and can hopefully relax going into this. I keep telling Keith that he should love the fact that I only plan the "getting us out the door" and the "returning home" portions of trips. Once we make it, I don't care what goes on. :)
