pull yourself together, flea

fleaI had a crap weekend, due to the double-whammy of Dillo daycare worries (there was an open house at the new space, and I got a lot of new information, and I wasn't best pleased at either the way I got the information or the content of it) and my body's revolt, which combined either allergies or a new head cold with menstrual woes. Plus rain and humid, humid, humid, and mosquitoes.
But, Casper's last day of school is Wednesday, and I have the long-awaited dentist appointment Wednesday afternoon, and then Thursday morning at 8 our plane takes off for Boston, which I think means we need to leave the house by 5am, possibly 4:30, and have I mentioned how much it sucks living more than an hour and a half from the airport?
Things that need to be taken care of before we go:
%Mow lawn (we bought a lawn mower on Sunday. Some people get Netbooks; we get to spend $300 on a lawn mower. Don't be a grown-up, people.)
%Pick peas and spinach and eat them; plant out some seedlings that are getting leggy.
%pay the YMCA for the first week of summer camp and prep for Caper's first day.
%end-of-year teacher gifts. The aide suggested last week I call the assistant principal and tell her I wanted Casper to be in Mrs. C's class next year. I have not done this. I suck as mom.
%do we need a cat-sitter? A fish-sitter? Trip is 5 days. Maybe leave the cat and ask neighbors to keep fish at their house?
%make sure Visa bills get paid & financial ducks are in a row (i.e. we have enough $$ in checking account to pay them.)
%clean the freaking toilets.
%paint my toenails.
%PACK.
Have I mentioned I have a headache? Which is why I am torturing myself looking at plane tickets for our NEXT trip, which as of today could involve us saving $210 if we leave at 7:40am (which means leaving home by 4!)
