Too Busy--Mind is a blur.

I'm usually very organized.  But when I headed for my Granddaughter Talis' birthday, I had to return home to pick up the pumpkin pie and whipped cream I had baked especially for her dessert because it's her favorite.  Then as I started on the two hour drive to Victoria on Tuesday, I left my cell phone and IPod on the dining room table, charged and ready to go.  Tomorrow I leave for 10 days and I'm paranoid that something important will get left behind. 

I've got the uniforms, sneakers, knee pads, volleyball and pump, rosters, airline tickets, passports and whatever clothes will cram into the remaining room in my carry-on.  I never check luggage; not because they now charge extra for even the first bag, but because I have to cross the border and change flights 3 times.  If the uniforms didn't get there, it could be more than a little upsetting.  My teammates laugh which makes me all the more determined to fit everything in.  This trip is to St. George, Utah and the Huntsman World Senior Games.  I have put together Volleyball teams for the 60+ (FloorPlay60) and 65+ (Legacy 65) divisions and we should be competitive in both.

I leave behind my bathroom renovation projects and my husband, Poul, ready to take over and frame in the new structures.  He's also going to drive me to the airport and come to pick me up, a 2+ hour trip each way.  He will supervise my son-in-law, Mark who will rough in the plumbing and electrical while I'm away.  Today I picked up the rest of the tiling supplies and Mark will bring up the plumbing fixtures from Victoria when he comes.

Maybe when I get back, the body will be weary, but the brain will be recharged and back on track.
