Before heading out of town tomorrow, and as a way of procrastinating (see below) so I don't have to face the mountain of clothes I need to fold before packing them into the suitcase, I thought I'd do one more meme, compliments of Soutenus.
What I was doing 10 years ago:
Having our house built and trying to pick out everything from the brick to the light fixtures to the refrigerator while juggling an infant and a two-year-old.
Five things on my To Do List today:
Since we're leaving for Florida tomorrow, everything has to do with packing:
-finish laundry
-figure out a quick dinner to keep mess to a minimum (is it okay to have cereal for dinner?)
-email my brother and sister
-do this quick post
-pack car toys so this won't happen again
now, multiply this to-do list times 100 and you can see why I AM PANICKING!
Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
-buy a villa in Tuscany for the use of our entire family
-donate big chunk to the Communita' Regina Pacis in memory of Sandro
-send my boys to a Catholic College
Three of my bad habits: (whew! only three)
-procrastination (but in my defense, I always get things done on time and I'm never late!)
-getting impatient with slow drivers
-forgetting to write things on the calendar; forgetting to check the calendar
Five places I have lived:
-Vicenza, Italy
-Nurnberg, Germany
-Darmstadt, Germany
-Augusta, Georgia
-Santa Fe, New Mexico
Five jobs I’ve had:
-children's librarian
-high school English teacher
-high school Spanish teacher
-babysitter extraordinaire
-night clerk in my college dorm
Now I'm supposed to tag five people, but since I am in a serious time crunch and hyper-linking takes time, consider yourself tagged if you'd like to participate (I always like to read about other people's bad habits).
Okay . . . I'm done procrastinating. I really do need to go and pack, etc. God bless!

Hey - a neighbor's son just got a full 4-year ROTC scholarship at Notre Dame. Just steer your boys towards engineering...
Thanks for playing AND thanks for the comment over at my blog!
Safe and happy travels to you!
I read the post you linked to and laughed so hard I almost cried.
8 hours to Grandmom and Grandpa?? Ouch.
Again -- safe and happy travels to you!
Soutenus,
And since driving to Orlando involves yet another 8 hour drive, you can see why we are just a tad worried!
I am always in a panick when I pack for a trip! No matter how much you plan, there are always a bajillion things to do that you didn't think of.
I read your post about your last trip, my toddler never keeps her socks and shoes on in the car! Now I know why sometimes you see baby shoes on the side of the road....they are thrown out the window!
Have a great trip!
God go with you, Bia! "See" you when you get home! &:o)
Drive safe and have a great time!
Have a great time!!!
I'd buy a villa in Tuscany too. I get impatient with slow drivers and people who don't understand how 4 way stops and roundabouts actually work.
When I did this I must have missed the "To do list"...It's just as well! I don't have a list and if I did, would have lost it by now or it would have been completely ignored. Have a grand adventure!!! Cathy
I just did this one today. A big difference between us... I've only lived in one city.
I too am so horrible with calendars! hope your trip to Florida was safe and fun!
I hope your enjoying your vacation!!!
On crazy days, I have often let my children eat cereal for dinner; a heck of a lot healthier than a fast food kids' meal! :)
I really enjoy your blog and liked getting to know you better in this one.
Hope your trip is lots of fun and that it brings us back at least a couple of fun stories....
