You set no alarm. And it's okay.
There are a million things to do before going away. And a million things that will go undone until you return.
The front hall is full of not just coat and shoe clutter, but suitcase clutter as well.
You realize how many chargers it takes to run a family, since unplugging and packing them all is taking a lot more time than you expected.
You realize how many clothes you must have, when you pack and see that the drawers are no emptier than they were before.
You feel a sense of chaos that will likely last until you leave.
You feel a sense of calm, because if you can get through the chaos, you will really, really be on vacation.
Happy Holidays!
