Argh.
I am leaving for Russia tomorrow. Am I packed? No. Are all the gifts purchased? No. Do I know where half my stuff is? No. Am I done with everything at work? No. Do I know what to take with me for the kids? No. Do I actually want to get going on any of the above? No.
Talked to my parents today. I think Dad got a little upset that I talk to DemonChild in English. Then Dad wanted to talk to me about our financial situation (I finally told him that is easier dealt with face to face). Then Mom made an observation that I seemed to be “on the edge” as I was growling at Squeeker to behave. Um, that would probably be because I AM stressed out and about to lose it. *sigh* Mom also told me to not get worked up when the kids misbehave during the plane ride. I’d love to, but how? I hear it’s easier for guys, but I am always freaking out that I am inconveniencing other people. This is so not going to be fun.
*whimper* I better get something done while the kids are napping.

Don’t worry so much about other people, Weasel. If they have/had kids, they’ll understand. :-) Best of luck getting everything ready. Try not to stress too much and have a GREAT trip!!
Hang in there Weasel, you’ll get everything done. It may be 4am, but you’ll get it done. One word of advice: when the kidlets sleep in the plane, sleep on the plane with them. Sleep will help you stay calmer. Your mom’s advice is good, but I can’t tell you how to accomplish it either. Maybe you should take the Benadryl instead of the kids? Good Luck.
One more thing – you live in an English speaking country. There is nothing wrong with you speaking English to your children. It does need to be their primary language.
