food journal )

I am starting to get a bit freaky about our upcoming trip to Vermont. I know it's only a couple hours' drive away and it's only three days, but still.

Big things left to do:
* pack
* clean out car
* figure out car entertainment for kids
* pick up book from L.
* find cd player from somewhere/someone
* CVS run: baby meds, my meds, batteries, camcorder tapes

I am irritated with myself because last night we actually went to CVS, and got diapers and milk, and I totally forgot to also pick up my thyroid prescription that I had so carefully called in the refill for in advance. Ugh! In my defense, a simple trip to CVS (a few blocks from our house) with two kids is quite the odyssey. But still, yeesh. Now I have to go again!

On the plus side, the deposit of my last paycheck as a contractor went through, and now I feel rich. I paid off a bunch of bills, am sending a big chunk to my student loans, and am planning to buy a new oven/stove/range. I am excited about this. The oven we have now is crap; it's literally 30+ years old and just awful. Any new one I get, no matter how low-end, will be a huge improvement.

Anyone local have a SMALL cd player (aka boom box) that I could borrow for our Vermont trip?? I wanted to just pick one up at Target last weekend, but it didn't work out. I'm greatly worried about Isaac's ability to go to sleep without his Beethoven's 5th.

Speaking of Isaac and sleeping, last night when I was putting him to bed he said something funny, but now I can't remember what it was. I hate it when that happens.

OK, lunchtime; I'm going to get a haircut.

Was this the boringest post ever, or what? :)

Pardon me, but I must whine. About our upcoming trip to Vermont. )

I AM excited about this trip. Really. I truly think it's going to be a lot of fun and I'm really really looking forward to seeing all the relatives who are going to be there, including the babies, and including the people I haven't seen in ages. In the end it'll be a good time and we'll all be glad we went and everything will work out. But that's on the other side. Over here on this side, it's nothing but a huge, unbelievable stress-fest.
