gee, sound familiar. We just got back from a week in Cincinatti. I started packing on Thur, hubby couldn't understand it. He's under the impression the kids are old enough to pack themselves. Yeah, then dd would have no underwear & ds would wear only a wii remote all week.
BTW, you need to add one other item to your list: get 2nd mortgage to pay for the luggage fees!! We may be DONE flying until that madness is over or so normal we don't think about it anymore.
For future reference, check out Staybridge Suites. Most seem to have FREE WASHER & DRYER!!! Yeah laundry???
OMG I am still laughing. This is so how it happens in my house, too! He would never think to do all that stuff.
yeah, they'll miss us when we're gone....
