Still to do in the next 2 days:

clean out fridge
clean the oven
tackle girls' closet
(why? no-one but me cares if these things are dirty).
I didn't get to the first three items yet, but I did clean the carpets. The house looks so much nicer now!
buy groceries for the family
write out all information the sitter will need : contact numbers for Bobby, me, the doctor, the dentist, friends ...
while I'm about it, make a list of various places to go and activities she could do with the kids
return a shirt I bought for Emily
have some of my clothes drycleaned
call and apologise for not making it to my all-girl bookgrou
take Emily to her awards ceremony tonight
it was very sweet, this was the official event where she received her "Dreamer and Doer" award - she loved every second of it.
email B's parents
return library books and videos
clean out my car
get gift for bus-driver. Last year we forgot and I felt dreadful - the busdriver is so sweet.
call Bobby and let him know that the travel agent is faxing my ticket (it's an e-ticket) to his office.
laundry. again.
make sure I have all documents the visa people will request : marriage certificate, kids' birth certificates, INS documentation, passport, passport photo
print out coach ticket to get me from London to Bath
print out cousin's contact details
pfft. both printers choose now to run out of ink. I'll have to buy more tomorrow.
buy a new cage for Julius - his came apart last night.
call at&t to make sure that they've enabled international roaming on my cell phone. They screwed up on that when we went to SA last year.
tried and gave up - they said I'd have to hold for more than 30 minutes. I'll try again tomorrow.
write a check for the rent
phone the endocrinologist. Just for a change.
pack
breathe

can't think what else, but I know there's more ...
