List of Things I am Not Prepared For

1. Vacation - I need to buy a new charger for my camera battery, an extra suitcase to pack for Caroline's first trip, a beach umbrella, and countless other things that I'm probably not going to have time for this week considering that  I have to work, take 2 kids to doctor appointments, attend Ben's end of year class party, etc.

2. Ben's birthday - Ben's birthday is 3 days after we return from Hilton Head. I have not done any shopping yet and only minimal birthday party arrangements (he is having a sleepover with 3 or 4 of his friends the Saturday after his birthday).

3. Rebecca's dance recital - Rebecca has a dance recital at the Belk Theater uptown the day after we get back from Hilton Head. From what I understand, there's going to be like thousands of people there. Although I've got Rebecca's recital costume and vague instructions, she is going to miss the dress rehearsal and thus will probably be appearing rather confused and shell-shocked on stage.

4. Summer camp - summer camp starts 2 days after we get back from vacation. I need to get the kids' camp supplies together (sunblock, non-Croc water shoes, large ziploc bags, stuff to pack lunches, etc).

This list was supposed to help me get organized so that I can prepare for these things. Unfortunately all it's doing so far is making me hyperventilate just a little bit more than I already was...
