If you’re a mom of three under four, getting ready to go on vacation, you should plan to start packing two weeks ahead.
Because the week you leave, you’ll need to allow for. . .
- the pipes under your kitchen sink to burst (while you’re making dinner for company)
- your basement to flood (from the thunderstorms this week)
- your husband to strain his back working on the basement, and
- 2/3 of your children to come down with some respiratory bug that keeps even the most angelic of babies awake at night.
Oh, and there won’t be time for blogging that week either.
