PACKING, PACKING, AND MORE PACKING!

As everyone can probably imagine, it is mass chaos at the Henley house. I had forgotten from when we adopted Olivia back in 2005 how much planning goes into getting ready to travel and be gone for almost 2 weeks. It can be overwelming. We have made lists and are trying to mark everything off as quickly as possible as they are done. I would say that I am about half way packed. There are of course some things that can't be packed until the last minute, but I am trying to get most things packed by this weekend. The problem I am having is keeping myself from not over packing, which I have a tendency to do. It is so hard to decide what we really need. I am the type of person that thinks that if I don't take it, I will end up needing it. I have lost count of how many times I have been to the store, how many loads of clothes I have washed and how many times I have packed, unpacked and repacked items in the suitcase because I can't decide whether to take something or not. Please pray for my sanity.
