Almost Time

True panic has set in. It would be just my luck that my husband was out of town the week before I'm supposed to leave, and every time he leaves town something happens. Whether its the kids getting sick, I have a killer migraine, or something in the house breaks. This time its just panic. :S

I still have to hem my pants. I'm not a seamstress, but you would think with all the hemming that I have to do I would have gotten better over the years. Nope. Most of the time I beg my mother to do it since she has a sewing machine. This time there isn't time to get Mom to do it because I've waited to the last minute - so unlike me. Nothing like pressure and a small needle in my hand trying to sew in a straight line. I think I might actually have to break down and buy a sewing machine one of these days.

I also have to actually start writing my speech. I've kept putting it off because I really don't know what to say. I keep having these nightmares that I'll get up at the PRO retreat and not be able to talk. My brain is empty. My voice gone.

Yep. That pretty much has blocked any ideas of what I need to say. Fortunately for me, I've got a few days still and hopefully will be able to come up with something before next Thursday. Let's hope I don't freeze when I get up to start my speech. Nothing like carrying that around with me for future conferences.

And don't get me started on the packing. Between my shoes and purses I don't have room for my clothes. :( Maybe I don't need clothes. Shoes and purses should cover everything, right? :)
