Is vacation really worth it? Sometimes I wonder. I am so stressed out, so busy, so cranky that I am making myself and everyone else around me miserable! I am running around my house trying to get everything ready to pack up on Monday, trying to get my house clean so that Jackie will have a clean place to sleep and I don't have to come home to a messy house and yard when I get back so MAYBE I can relax a little when I get home for the first day. I don't know if all that is worth it?! Seriously - I scrubbed my shower last night at 10:30. Why? And why did I decide that I NEEDED to rip up the flowerbed on the side of my house that I have neglected for two years, now? Granted, it looks a lot better than it did and I feel a lot better about it - but NOW? I still have laundry to do, sheets to change, a deck to clean up, dishes to wash,...... Aaahhh....VACATION.
In all seriousness, though. I really am looking forward to seeing Mike's side of the family. I can't wait to get out of town and be in a whole new environment. Eagle River, Wisconsin is beautiful and relaxing. I can't wait for them to see how Elli has grown, and to play with Amanda and Josh, and to sit and have coffee with Becky in the mornings, blueberry muffins (ha!), and all the water sports! We really do need this....I need this. I just wish I didn't get so worked up before it all.

I know exactly what you mean about the stress of getting ready for vacation. I am the same way - I clean my house before I go for the house sitter and for myself when I return. I try to get all these projects finished that really don't matter, but feel the need to do them. And then pack for the trip on top of everything else. We get crazy.
BTW, I love your blog. I want one now.
Relax, Jessie! and have a great time!
