I am still convinced that kids ruin everything.

OK, maybe ruin is too harsh.

But they definitely change a lot of things.

And I am convinced that you have to be somewhat insane in order to take your 3 kids on a road trip from Springfield to Orlando. We got in the van at 4:00 this morning, and I basically wanted to punch myself in the face for the next 13 hours. I could be slightly exaggerating, but at this stage in the day, it doesn't feel like it. I have to keep reminding myself how wonderful this will be when we actually get to Florida. Friday will feel like vacation. Today, not so much.

But nothing beats Rose telling me at every meal that I had to sit by her. :o)

So we are in McDonough, Georgia tonight. Thank you Holiday Inn for having free internet. You rock.

Shelley made fun of me for saying that trains are the bomb yesterday. My apologies to anyone else who now thinks that I am no longer hip or cool by my usage of that expression, which, I am informed, was so ten years ago. But you were bound to discover that I am not hip or cool sooner or later....

That's what's happening around the country....what's going on in your neck of the woods?
(I am slightly appalled that I just basically quoted Al Roker. Even for me, that's weird. Obviously I am sleep deprived.)
