Today's To-do

So... it's official... i am going to DC for the AUSA Annual Meeting!

i'm not sure what i am in for *laughs*... but i am sure the 5 days that i am there will fly by as i have been told we will be busy and working the whole time.

i have to say, after being home all day, every day with Diva Tot (for the last 2 years)... i am so excited to be out there amongst adults and have conversations about "grown up" things, instead of my daily topics of diapers, apple juice and Dora (anyone out there feel my pain?!). i have not ever been away from my people all at once... and i can't recall a time when it was for 5 WHOLE DAYS! If i am away from the kids, i am with Hubby, and if i am away from Hubby, it's with the kids! Not that i don't love my people, but momma needs some time away!!!

i am really looking forward to learning more about this organization. I have been doing some "research" online to find out what people/media/etc. are saying about USA Cares. I have been so pleased to find that there hasn't been a negative word written. Even the press loves them!

We will arrive in DC on Sunday... i guess that will be set-up day. Then we will be in the booth from Monday - Wednesday working. Well... i think we do get to go back to the hotel and sleep at some point... um... maybe?! *grins* On Tuesday, Dennis Miller will be in the booth... that's very exciting. I'm anxious to get to meet him. If you are going to be in DC on October 7th, come by the USA Cares booth and say hello to him!

Today is laundry, ironing, packing and getting my nails done *preens*. It's my one pampering thing i try to do for myself... but i usually only get to do it once a month! So i love it when things come up that make me go do it.

i have a list going of things to take... so that my packing will go more smoothly (we won't mention my anal-ness is the reason for the list making!). But i think my list is bigger than my suitcase! (If anyone from USA Cares reads this... calm down, calm down... my OCD will take over and ensure i only have ONE bag! even tho i really think my shoes should have a bag of their own! *grins*).

I'm going to try and have all this done and the kids settled and fed, all that, before the debate tonight. Can i just say... what a mess i think this debate will be with the moderator being who she is? One of the blogs i read has a great post about it! i don't think anything i say could be better said, so i will just leave you the link to go read it.

Anyway... off to start the laundry. Please leave me a comment if you are going to be in DC!!! And... well... even if you are not!
