Slight Panic

I have just started to go into panic mode, unfortunately I always do this and it drives me crazy. Its like my brain is telling me to do a million things all at the same time, and its so over whelming that I get nothing done. I have a major Anxiety problem especially when it comes to traveling, not sure why because I couldn't be more excited. I just want everything to be perfect and not forgot anything important. I woke up this morning thinking OMG I have only 8 days left to do EVERYTHING, if you think about it like a normal person there really isn't that much to do but in the brain of Kerry it feels like I have 2 months worth of preparation to squeeze into 8 days, its crazy but true!! So I thought of doing it one step at a time and writing my different lists for certain things instead of all in one. My first list is going to be "pets", this should be quite a long list,lol.

List #1.........Pets
Things to do before I leave:
Tortoises:
  1. Clean them out, with new echo earth and Hay
  2. Bath them the night before
  3. Feed them

Lizards:

  1. Clean them out
  2. Put crickets in and feed Jangles some meal worms
  3. Moisten their soil
Care sheet for Tyler:
Tortoises:
  1. Feed them 5 days a week (Don't not feed them two days in a row though)
  2. Bath them in warm water once a week (fill up to neck, keep them there for 20 minutes)
  3. Only feed them dark green lettuce, they are not allowed Ice-berg (Red Leaf and Romaine)
  4. Turn their lights (2) on in the morning and off at night

Lizards:

  1. Turn the big black light on in morning and off at night
  2. Dim the heat light at night and put it on higher in the morning

  5. Pour a jug of warm water onto the soil every other day.

  2. Wow Kerry you are so organised! To run a family with three active children, loads of pets, day care kids and your husband - you must be super mum!

    One question though: how do you feed the tortoises for 5 days a week if you can't feed them 2 days in a row..? (Lol, it's like a riddle, or am I just being ignorant?)

  3. Thanks Sharon, not sure Im a super Mum though, Ok Ok im a super Mum,lol.

    Well the tortoises, I feed them every day apart from say Tuesday and Friday, so it works out to be 5 days out of the 7 but they days are not together, they would be so mad at me if I did that,lol.
