ARRRGGG!!!

Why is it that the two weeks BEFORE spring break (your supposed vacation) are always the most stressful?? I feel like I am working up enough stress that there is no way possible for just one week off to ever unwind it all!!

Remind me again why we choose to do an interdisciplinary unit in the spring right before testing right before spring break? Oh yea - that's right - we're crazy!!! And as if that's note enough we decide it would be even better to shoot for a Success Day the following week - the Friday before spring break!! Lord - what were we thinking???

Then there's Mexico - not that that's a bad thing - jsut details! And when I can't get the details down - I get worried. Like - what do I pack? Normally by now I have a list of what I plan to take on the trip - but noone has told me what I should be taking. I'm a newbie here for this mission trip deal. What exactly does one take to Mexico? I need a list - instructions! I'm anal! I need to be packed at least a full 4 days before we plan to leave!!!

Then we have the hearth and home details. How exactly do I clean the how well enough so that it might still be reasonably clean by the time we get home???? I need to get the spinach planted which means I need to get the garden turned and compost added! Do I have shorts that I would be caught dead in? Then again do I care? How do I convince my husband to have a new car waiting for me when I get home? (That's one that I'm really working on!)

See - details - it's all in the details! What's an anal retentive control freak like me supposed to do?
