packing anxiousness
Do you get it? I guess it can also be called going on a trip anxiousness, but I guess I find packing for the kids the most stressful part.
What are your packing rules?
I read somewhere once that if you are going somewhere that has washing machine access, you should pack one underwear for every 2 days you will be there, and one pair of pants for every 2 days, etc. I guess that rule works fine for adults, but with kids? They sometimes manage to need 2 clothing changes in the drive to where ever we are going.
I've been doing pretty good the last few trips but for some reason( maybe the winter sweatshirts), I can't close their suitcase. Not sure if I packed to much and I'd love to hear how you decide what to pack.
Naeem has 2 cords, 2 pairs or jeans, and 2 pairs of sweats packed( mind you he'll probably get clothes from his grandma)6 t-shirts, 2 collared shirts, 2 hoodies.
Baha, well he probably has something similar, plus he has clothes at his grand-ma's( not sure what though)
Is that reasonable or can I afford to drop some of it. Seriously, they somehow manage to come back with so much more and usually wonder why I packed so much....
oh ya, it's for about 2 weeks, more not less
