Dissension in the Ranks

So, we're preparing for a trip to Oregon. Keep in mind that we leave in 4 days, we're travelling with a 4 year old and a 2 year old, we have to leave the house bright and early the morning we leave, and the CO will be completely useless from the perspective of carrying, lifting, etc. That leads to the question posed to the XO today - why in Heaven's name are we not packed? We haven't even gotten the suitcases down from storage! Or made a packing list! This stresses out the CO immensely. If able, I would have had all of the suitcases out and ready with all of the items and clothing that we would not be using in the next few days already packed, so that all we have to do is add in the last few items and head out the door. And I would have everything checked off on the packing list. How in the world do you know if you've packed everything without a list??? Ahrrrgghhh!
If you haven't guessed, the XO is much more laid back and less AR than the CO in this unit. He figures we'll just toss everything in the suitcases the morning we leave and head to the airport. If we don't pack it, we can always find it at WalMart when we get there right? :-)
I guess opposites really do attract, huh?
