(to-do) It's the night before we leave, and I'm so behind!

Leaving tomorrow around noon, so I need to get a bunch of stuff done. Gotta clean everything up, so I can feel good leaving the cats to destroy it. And it's days like this that I realize just how different my cleaning style and my husband's is. I really, really need to just relax and not snap at him when he really is trying to help. Even if he decides to help at the worst possible time (like when I'm trying to put some thoughts together).

Bah.

Okay, now that that's out of my system, here's the to-do list.

1. Wrap gifts.
2. Make Pound Cakes in the oven as we speak!
3. Make Cranberry Challah in the bread machine!
4. Clean the kitchen table.
5. Clean the dining room table.
6. Clean the bathroom.
7. Write Molly December 22
8. Pack for the weekend.
9. Check on Maria.
10. Make Chex Mix.
11. Balance the checkbook.

Lord, it's going to be a long night. Time to get moving.
