Words of wisdom from the twentieth-century humorist Marcelene Cox:A vacation frequently means
that the family goes away for a rest,
accompanied by a mother,
who see that the others get it.
Contents of my suitcase:
Children's Tylenol
Neosporine
Cortaid
Bandaids
Tums
Aleve
Advil
Vodka
Because ensuring that others get their rest is fraught with danger.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH! I need to follow your blog too!!!
Vodka--
purely medicinal only in vast quantities.
Where is your family enjoying its rest?
Wish I had known to take these items a few weeks earlier. Maybe now I wouldn't feel that I need a vacation after the vacation!!
Sounds like a very wise packing list.
SP: Thanks for the visit. I look forward to hearing from you more often.
Dez: Oh yes. Purely medicinal. We are bound for the beach.
Posey: Oh no. Sounds like your vacation had too much drama.
Jean: It is a Wisdom born of experience.
well then... have a nice (and safe) holiday! ;-)))
What no Benedryl? What is someone has a severe allergic reaction? Or what if you want to drug your child to sleep??? (LOL)
As for the Band-Aids, I recommend the Blister Band-Aids. Have you seen them? They are great!
Have fun!
The beach, a perfect getaway. We love being pure beach-bums in the summer!
I'm in Oregon with my daughter . . . and infant tylenol, benadryl, desitin, and guilt from leaving her in a strange place with a babysitter so I could go wine tasting.
hello,
view your blog and found it very interesting.
I am responsible for a blog of wine in Portugal and I would ask if he can not put the link on my site to your blog.

Hahah, loooove the post. :) I concur, I feel so awful for my mom whenever we go on trips. Ugh. Oh well. I'm going to have to go through the same when I have kids!
Be sure & stop by and leave a note!

Did you 4get the Kaopectake? I hear it now comes in bacon flavor, which may appeal to you.
I usually don't associate vacations with relaxing, refreshing, and restful.
I have to take a staycation this year, but I think I'll pack the same stuff.
The list gets bigger if you go camping
No kids, so I can go straight to the last item on the list. I'll get the blackcurrant flavoured one, though, to keep up my fruit intake.
Fantastic packing list!!Unseen Rajasthan
2 bee stings later, glad I packed some stuff and wish I had some hard stuff left.
Even though I'm a whiskey drinker, I believe Vodka should definitely be up higher on the list. OH, yes.
Harumph--I suppose because you're on vacation you feel you can abandon your faithful readers--
Everywhere, and I don't care where it is, nobody realises that mothers need their rest. Well, they do in theory, but........
so true! good post!
Yes! Love your blog.
