I’m actually feeling a bit overwhelmed at everything I’ve got to do before our holiday in just over a week’s time.
1. 4 photoshoots, and possibly a 5th that’s urgent and can’t wait
2. Deliver 3 photoshoots
3. Deliver 3 photobooks (and the DVD’s that go with them) and design another book from one of the photoshoots I’m doing this weekend.
4. Discovered tonight that I need to get Connor a yellow t-shirt before Thursday morning, and I’m in meetings ALL day tomorrow!! That actually sent me into my tailspin… there’s always a trigger for this breathless feeling… and today it was a t-shirt. But seriously, WTF isn’t this piece of news on the news site that the school proudly advertises!! FFS I’m just annoyed now.
5. I also forgot to buy Bradley a long sleeve collared shirt (that’s not a school shirt) before Thursday morning when he’s a mayor in a play. This one I did actually know about but forgot about.
6. Getting my tattoo on Thursday… woohoo!!
7. Try a fit in a hair cut and colour… and a bikini wax.
8. Find a dog sitter!! Oh crap just realised I forgot!
9. Try sort out my job… which I’ve actually just resigned myself to the fact that it’s not going to sorted out before I go away, so I’m more relaxed about it. Just have to go with the flow at this point no matter how annoying that is.
10. Meet a bride.
11. Buy the kids summer clothes for the holiday because they’ve shot up and last season’s stuff doesn’t fit at all.
12. Go to a kids party on Saturday.
… and I’m sure there’s something I’ve forgotten…
I feel a little panicked right now… but I’m sure all will be well with the world again in the morning and I’ll regret this stressed post.

It will all be okay. Just take a deep breathe!

Why is it that we always rush ourselves to absolute exhaustion before a holiday, and then we actually get there so tired that it does not help at all?

That does sound like alot to do Jeanette! Try and keep your focus on the holiday…it should give you the strength to get through this.
I hope you manage to find a yellow top for Connor and a long sleeve for Bradley.

Good luck, I am heading into a week (next week) that looks similar.
If you don’t come right with a Dog sitter – I have a number for a Qualified Vet Nurse, who does in her spare time. I can send you her number

That is a lot!!
To be honest – even being at home – I battle with the constant needs of the school :-/

Gosh, even your blog post has me clutching my chest and wondering if I’m having a coronary event! Time to outsource the album design? (hint)

Sjoe, that does leave my heart pounding a little faster too.
Okay, a LOT faster!
Only do what is absolutely essential (go get your hair done when you come back
) and delegate the rest. Can your mom help with the kids’ shopping?
Oh, and BREATHE!
(I’m telling myself the same stuff, btw, but my list has come down from 65 to 17 so I’m feeling much better)

I tried to catch up a little and wow, love the tattoo!!
Louisa
That’s a big to-do list – sounds like you actually need a clone?
Angel
Okay, so since I’m playing catch-up quite a few of those have been taken care of.
Did you find a dog-sitter?
