Uber Prepared!

So I'll be heading up the road tonight... we'll be staying at Tia's, then finishing the drive up to the Rivenbark's house tomorrow morning. Some friends of the kids will be riding up with me and E, so the car will be a little cramped, but I think it will be a good trip.

I started prepping for the trip on Tuesday. I made a list of things I need to get done before I leave - like stop at the bank, stop and get gas, go to the grocery store, pick up E's meds... stuff like that. Then I made a detailed list of things I need to remember to bring - like clothes, shoes, socks, underwear.. the normal things -- and then things I tend to forget - phone charger, deoderant, cords for the dvd player, Chesney and Blanket. The reason why I'm telling you this is that I make lists so I can be properly prepared for a trip like this, and Nat things I'm crazy, obsessive, and a little bit anal. Why can't it just be that I'm prepared? (Or as I like to call it "uber prepared.")

I went to the store last night to pick up some snacks and stuff for the car, so I wouldn't be tempted to get food when we stop for breakfast or for gas. I picked up some granola, trail mix, apples and bananas. I also made some homemade lemonade (with my leftover lemons) for the trip. I tasted it this morning and it is quite tart, so I hope I remember to sweeten it up before we head out.

I read another blog this morning about a lady who is doing a cleanse that is basically a vegan diet, but she talked about how she got a sinus infection after about a week and her doctor told her it was because of her cleanse. I've had a stuffy nose since yesterday, and I'm thinking it could potentially be from my cleanse (though I'm done now), but I also cleaned out my gutters Tuesday evening and it could be the fact that I'm allergic to cleaning out my gutters.
