Stress!!!!

I have so many things going on today it is not even funny. First of all, we are still working on the science projects that we have to turn in tomorrow. Of course, the printer ran out of black ink last night(my life in so predictable). Air was in class until 10:00 last night and I was not about to take all 5 kids to Staples. So, we'll have to finish them all today.

Then, I'm packing for our trip. We are leaving for Utah tomorrow. Do you know what it takes to pack for this many people? I don't even pack for Air, he is just on his own. The amount of laundry is incredible. I usually open the suitcases and pull the house apart as I fill them. Not this time, because I have to keep the house clean for potential buyers. Sure enough, our realtor needs to show the house tonight (again, this was predictable) which means it has to be perfectly clean and Messy Nessy is living up to her name. Need I say more? I think she honestly believes she is helping me.


Last but not least, Nanny has started to have "accidents" the past couple of days. She says things like, "Don't be mad. Be mad next year. Just be happy." or my favorite, "Be mad a Nessa."
How can I be upset with her? I just need to be better about reminding her to go to the bathroom. She has been potty trained for months. I don't know why she is having problems now. Probably she feels like me and her life is turned upside down. Poor girl. I hope we all survive today, just to face a 24 hour drive tomorrow.

The stress just keeps building and building. I thought about going in the backyard and screaming, but I realized the only thing this would accomplish is giving the our neighbors one more reason to be happy we are moving.
