Make an organized to-do list; then prostinate until the last days while you can catch up on Call The Midwife.
"Create goody bags and hide them around the house for your children to find while you are away. That way they will know that you are still thinking about them."
Check under sofa cushions for dirty socks, candy wrappers and dirty dishes.
"Leave an item of clothing you have worn for you children to snuggle when they get sad."
Give up on finding that embroidered shirt from Anthropologie you loaned to your daughter for her friend's going-away party.
"Stock up on their favorite snack foods."
Eat out every night before you leave, because you are too busy trying to catch up on the chores you were behind on before you even conceived of this idea.
"Freeze individual size meals and label each one with a date for nights when things get chaotic."
Jack's Frozen Pizzas, 4 for 10 bucks this week at Kroger.
"Plan a date to spend some quality time with your child before you leave."
Sneak into their rooms when they are sleeping and brush their hair back from their faces. How did they get so big? What if something happens while I are away? Something already did, and yet, I am still going. Does this make me a bad mother? What if I get there and I procrastinate just like I do at home and don't get anything written? Is this the right thing to do?
