Packing, teenagers, and 1 small bag.

Tonight we are packing to go on a little vacation. The first real Vacation in 5 years.
No wedding, graduation, bithday, dance competition, or pig show to use as the reason to go.
Just going to have FUN.
And fun will be had, if we can get packed with out blood shed.
We are going to Disneyland as a family Christmas present. Now we are going as a family, My girls, me, Gretchen and her two little ones. If you counted that was 6, and we have a 6 passenger car. We also need to fit into the car Nathaniel's wheel chair, which now that he received a new and bigger one takes the whole back end.
So enter the big fight of the night.... We are only taking ONE little bag. Yep. For me and my two teenage daughters I have limited it to one bag. One bag for all!!! Clothing, bathroom supplies, makeup, hair and entertainment. (you know books, crayons, notepads etc.)
Brianna is trying to convince me to let her take her computer and that she could use her computer bag to pack into. Not falling for it.
Josie is just in denial. The pile of stuff she Needs is as tall as me, but she says I am the Queen of packing and will make it all fit. I am surprised that she hasn't tried to get me to pack her guitar, saying we could all play or sing to it.
Now me, I haven't even begun to sort and pack, I have been avoiding it all, hoping the girls will wise up and follow the guidelines put before them.
Hey it is a new year, I can be optimistic.
I am hoping to get it all done tonight, so then their is no fighting tomorrow.
Will I succeed?
BTW...I get to take my computer...It is smaller!
