Trying to Leave the House

Have you ever triedtoget ready to go someplace?  Today my husband and I were going someplace without the children.  We spent around 30 minutes going over instructions and directions for them while we were gone.  It was quite something.  Even if we just want torun out for few minutes, it seems to take forever to get out the door.  The worst is when we are going on a family vacation.  There are always those last minute items we have to go back for that someone forgot.

How do you all do with getting out the door? I would love to hear from you.
