Countdown...

We leave for our 3 week trip to England on Monday, December 22nd. There are a million and one things to do before then:

Today, Dec 12: Study Statistics (with 30 minute procrastination session in which to write a blog).
Saturday, Dec 13: 6 hour Statistic class, my work holiday party at night.
Sunday, Dec 14: Statistics final exam in the morning, then we're hosting a holiday party for Dorian's Gymboree pals and their parents in the afternoon.
Monday & Tuesday, Dec 15 & 16: Temp work for my mom at the hospital during the day, complete FAFSA (financial aid for college forms) Monday night, host Tempest band party Tuesday night.
Wednesday-Friday, Dec 17-19: Watch Dorian all 3 days so James can record with his band members. Dori and I will finish Christmas shopping, pack for trip, write and mail Christmas cards, see people we have to see before we leave, run errands, get Dorian a haircut (I butchered his hair about a month ago and can't have him arriving in England looking disheveled). I will complete web orientation for Pharmacology and Pathophysiology online courses in the evenings.
Saturday, Dec 20: Nutcracker matinee, followed by 2 holiday parties (we were invited to 4 that day, but can only make 2, possibly only 1!)
Sunday, Dec 21: "Christmas" with my family, finish laundry and packing, tidy house so it's not a mess when we return. (Also, my parents are using it to host a New Year's Eve party while we're away.)
Monday, Dec 22: Race around doing everything last minute, likely helping James find everything (he'll have lost his passport and wallet, among other things, even though I will have repeatedly told him to find them weeks in advance). Arrive at SFO 3-4 hours in advance to ensure we get the bulkhead seats since Dorian will be with us and we didn't purchase a separate seat for him. Fly out of SFO at 6:30pm. Pray that Dorian sleeps the whole flight.
Tuesday, Dec 23: Arrive at Heathrow 1pm (UK time), take train to Exeter, get picked up by Graham, likely arrive at James' childhood home around 8 or 9pm. Straight to bed, we hope!
Wednesday, Dec 24 - Christmas Eve: The real fun begins!!!!!
