It seems that regardless of how long we've been planning a wheeling trip and counting down the days in excitement, suddenly, it's the day before we leave and there are a bazillion things to do. Does this happen to anyone else? I made our EJS reservations last October for crimany's sake, I've known about this trip for just a little bit. Yet, here I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off.

My question is this: Am I an unorganized freak with the attention span of a ferret on crack who can't get her act together OR is this just life with kids and work and I'm far from being alone.

I like the idea of a ferret on crack, my Lab resembles that most days, but am leaning towards the latter.
Kids, work, etc. take quite a bit of the focus we have, so there is very little left for "me" focus.

No matter how unorganized you think you might be there is someone out there that will make you look too prepared--trust me.

I don't want to get started with the fear that he will read this... He is a cool dude, but trust me he will (every single year!) wait utill we're ready to pull out of the driveway at 5:30 in the morning and decide that he want to do a major upgrade/overhaul on his truck. If I don't say "I'll see you down there" (and basically just ditch him) I would honestly spend my EJS over hauling his truck in the driveway and never get to see those beautifull red rocks :rolleyes:

I have some stories about his unpreparedness that would blow your mind. But alas he is the only one that still wants to head down to EJS with me this year :-\

I haven't even started to get anything ready, and likely won't until next week. the jeep has been running a total of about 15 minutes since October too :D

..but I don't have kids, dogs, tow rig, trailer, and sig other to get on the same page. Just little ole me and my lil ole jeep.

I've known we're leaving tomorrow for a long time and have also known how much I had to do since coming back from KOH. I've put in over 30 hours this week alone and my list today is HUGE. My dash and insides are completely torn apart and I have at least 10 more hours of work to do, including loading it up to go weld some tabs on so I can mount the roof. Oh, and I have to run to Summit to pick up those tabs sometime today. It's freaking nutz, and my dear Janeal is about at her wits end with me.

There is always something I want to improve or tell my self I should buy before I leave on a trip but I usually say screw it and go without it.

I'm always rushing around trying to get everything ready. It seems like I "forget" to do things to the Jeep up until the last 2-3 days before I leave. I'm headed out Sunday afternoon and my weekend will be filled with lost of unorganization.

It's not so much being unprepared, we keep Lemon Joy stocked with all of life's little necessaties all the time. Although, I must admit to not having any glowsticks for this trip. :-\ My thing is more the getting ready to get into the truck and leave. Once we're in the truck, it's all good, we have everything we could possibly need and that normally includes the kitchen sink! :rofl:

That's so weird, I could've sworn your Jeep was running for more than 15 minutes the end of November. :p

I'm usually ready a week prior to anything I do, trip wise that is.

I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that you only go to Moab once a year? :p

Wow sounds like I am not alone, my wife Shay has not seen me in the house for longer than an hour in the last two weeks, but at least we have a full week to catch up and have a great time. Can't wait til Sunday morning.
