T Minus 8 Days

So I haven't been blogging a lot lately - not because I don't have anything to say, but because anytime I try to contemplate the 6,439 things on my to-do list, I just want to crawl into bed and play Angry Birds for about 30 minutes.  Don't judge.

So to pretend like I am being productive be productive, I have been trying to pack.  Except I don't know what to pack.  I mean, yes, I know mostly what to pack.  I know to take acetaminophen, ibuprofen, zythromycin, naproxen, Elimite, and Imodium.  I know to take comfortable shoes, sticker books, my new Kindle Fire, and stacking cups.

What I don't know is what the weather is going to be like.  Spring there is like spring here.  One day it is 80 degrees, and the next it is 54.  And we will be in the north, the south, and in-between. China is a big country.

Because of this, I have developed a new obsession with an app on my Kindle - the Weather Channel App.  I can program in a bunch of cities (Suzhou, Beijing, and Guangzhou), and then it gives me the weather up to 10 days out.  And we are only 8 days from travel.  So every day I have to get on and study what the weather is.

Me:  Oh, it is 83 is Guangzhou today - better take plenty of shorts.  Oh wait, it is going to be rainy and 65 next week, so scratch that.  Put in the rain hoodie.  Oh, but what about Nanjing?....

(You can read those ellipses as mumbling.  I'm doing lots of mumbling lately.)

On the other hand, Kate and I re-arranged her furniture today to make room for Jack.  The boys' room will get re-arranged this weekend to make room for another dresser.  So, I am actually getting some things done.

I am also getting really good at Angry Birds.
