Ready?

I'm stuck in the awful feeling that I often feel shortly before leaving on a vacation -- Am I ever going to feel ready to leave? It always seems as though there is so much work to do, but when I list it on paper there isn't nearly as much as there was in my head. In the next two days I have the last of the laundry to finish, a house to straighten (thankfully it's still pretty clean from when my parents were here), bags to pack, and pickles to can (and no, I've never canned before). VBS is going all this week from 5:30 until 8:30. That cuts quite a bit into my evening. By the time we get home, get Chloe in bed, eat a bit of a supper, get Julia in bed, it's time to go to bed ourselves. It all leaves me feeling a little frazzled and makes me tempted to stay up late tonight to get some more work done. But I will not give into temptation. I want my sleep much more than clean clothes or pickles right now.

Pickles are not too hard. Do you have a garden, or were they a gift? I use a package from Wal-Mart. Easy peasy.
