OCD


In less than 48 hours my family and I will load into the killer mini van and embark on our long journey that will take us to California. Disneyland, Sea World and the beach are our destinations and I can't wait. I have a bad habit of setting super high expectations for things like this, like Clark Griswold and his Griswold Family Christmas. Usually, things don't work out and I get pissed moody, but not this time (thank you mom). I will expect the unexpected and be prepared for fun. BUT....that doesn't mean I can't try and save as much money as possible and be incredibly organized in the process. This is when I am happy that I am harboring an OCD thing. Here is what I have started.



This is my bed right now... my piles to pack.




I made cards for everyone and put them on top to make sure that I have everything.....

I can't wait to see how my OCD takes control and helps me pack 6 of us, including a double stroller, a pack and play, pillows, beach stuff, coolers, and what ever else under the sun into the killer mini van. It is going to be quite a challenge.

But I can't wait because of these two:

  4. I do the same thing when I go on trips. Everyone has a list with their names on it to remind me what to pack. I am an organized freak when it comes to these kinds of things. Have a great time in California! I lived there for 6 years and there are plenty of fun things to do!
