Our Anniversary Escape to Captiva Island...wonderful despite forgetting my shirt.
In typical mom fashion, I always put the rest of the family first and pack everyone else up for vacation before even getting my suitcase out of the closet. This past weekend, I learned why this is a terrible idea…when I forgot my shirt…for my anniversary dinner. Sigh. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal. I’ll just wear another shirt. Only we were going away for a casual beach weekend and I only needed to pack one nice shirt…which I left on my bed. So, my advice this week is to pack up yourself first, Mommy, when energy is high and you have time to think things through. Also, remember that Master Packing List I suggested? Use it. Not sure about the rest of you but if this Mommy isn’t organized and pulled together, everyone else’s day is in trouble. So in this case, you come first. Besides, there’s no chance you’ll forget the kid’s diapers, favorite spiderman t-shirt, or lovie.
