If the title of this post could be a WHA? head shake punctuated by bulging eyes, it would

Just take a glance at my to-do list today, then join me for number 11, because you might need it too.  Or just send booze to my destination.  Or simply dig the hole so I can just fall backwards into it for my final resting place. My to do list:

1.) Finish editing family photo shoot on a computer where I can type faster than the computer can keep up.

2.) Edit some more wedding photos  on a computer where I can type faster than the computer can keep up.

3.) Pack for entire family for an 8 day trip that includes tent camping and a 10 hour car ride. We leave tomorrow. I haven’t even started.

4.) Organize the car just so for this 10 hour car ride so that the kids can reach anything they need at any given time with little intervention from us.

5.) Perhaps secure a catheter for the Wise Guy.  And some heavy gauge plastic. And Febreeze, Because, as we have done this trip many times before and it generally goes  very smoothly (kids are usually quite good for such a long trip), this will be the first time since he has been fully potty trained.  Things could get interesting when stuck in bumper to bumper traffic around Washington for 2 hours.

6.) Finish laundry for said trip.  Which is a feat  itself because of 1 and 2.

7.) Entertain kids on their first day of summer.  On a BEAUTIFUL day.

8.) Unpack dishwasher, wash the dishes, then repack the dishwasher since  that piece of junk has become a glorified drying rack.

9.) Feed the children (which is a full-time job these days…. these kids can EAT)

10.)  Go to Chrissie Rasor’s (great photographer) for a Photoshop Party.  This is going to be the highlight of my day, I think.  Because we photographers? We can rock the with the Photoshop.

11.) Go to the doctor to secure a prescription for a BIG bottle of  Xanax because I AM GOING TO NEED IT.

After which, I am going to take a break.  I am going to count my blessings and just live in the moment for a few.  How very zen of me?  All part of the transformation, baby.  The transformation that involves a big bottle of xanax, but a transformation all the same.
