You can come find me! My due date is August 13th.

For Sale: Neighbor. Housebroken (I think).
Must take whole family... not willing to separate.
New owner must have high tolerance for the following:
*Sucky drum playing
*Sucky guitar playing
*Sucky vocal abilities
*OCD-like tendencies pertaining to mowing the yard
*A tendency to feed every living creature within a 5 mile radius. This includes, but is not limited to raccoons, geese, squirrels, and cats.
*Loud car stereos
Serious inquiries only please. I wouldn't want to get my hopes up that someone would actually take these fruitcakes away from here.

"How I Spent My Summer Vacation"

... spending five weeks, traveling 10,585 miles, going through 27 states, riding shotgun in a semi with a truck driver.

Amazing country, but good to be home! :)

Agree with J, sounds like a blast!

Doula, were their kids involved? If not, sounds like a blast. If so, here's a scotch, let me rub your feet for you. ;)

No kids, they were all at home... only Alice, an English Bulldog went along. She's the usual driving partner... :)

It was great (for the most part!)... and surprisingly we didn't run into the "too much togetherness" factor.

It was a test run to see how I liked it and how we would do with the 24/7 aspect as I am considering getting my CDL so that we can team drive during the summers when I am not teaching... :D

Might even become professional tourists when we retire down the road! Get paid to travel the country... :)

Well then no scotch for you. ;)

We haven't done a road trip in so long. I miss it. The last time we did a really long trip (12 hour drive) Jared was 4, Sydney was around 10 or 11 months.

A 12 hour drive took 2 days, lots of breaks in between, lots of crying, whining, and the kids where pretty bad too. ;)

I wish we could do it this year. Now that they're 11 and 7 it should be a lot easier. No diaper changing breaks, frequent potty breaks, breastfeeding on the side of the road in a sweltering car.

The funniest part of that trip was the fact that we had to teach Jared to pee on the side of the road. The kid has a bladder the size of a lentil and has to pee every 1/2 hour. There's not always a bathroom around, so hubby taught him the art of peeing in the bushes on the side of the road.

When we got home, after a 2 week trip, I caught Jared peeing in my flowers. He didn't understand why it wasn't okay, when it was okay on the trip.

I miss those days.

I learned that truck drivers frequently pee in bottles. My aim was not very good, at least that's what I gathered when I looked at Paul's boots in the morning, so I had to resort to peeing in a cup. It was either that or through a funnel... ;)

I'm getting a mental image Doula, and I'm LMAO. :)

I once peed in an old Tim Hortons cup that was in the car. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Ok I totally pee'd in a 2 liter pop bottle once, I am still talked about by those boys. They are amazed and in awe.

Can you write your name in the snow too? I've always wanted to do that.

No I haven't mastered that. I'm not that flexible. I mean I can bend, but that's just crazy!

Well if that doesn't earn you a toaster, I don't know what will! I am just going to have to practice some more.

Practice and a full bladder makes perfect.

How cute:p Do you know what some old remedies for earaches are?

My aunt used to put a hair dryer up to my ear. Or put garlic oil right from a garlic clove in my ear. Eww I know, but I swear these worked. Is it pain from pressure or just a normal earache?

May be swimmers ear. He said it isn't hurting bad, just throbbing a little when he yawns. My Grandson. Doesn't have a fever. Called Doctor.
Said... If it's still hurting tomorrow bring him in. My daughters in traing out of town so he is with us.

Try wrapping a warm water bottle in a towel and placing it under his ear, or try a heating pad.

Thanks Bella:)

No problem, I hope it helps. Nothing worse than a sick baby on your hands.

(I know he's not really a baby) :)

The hair dryer trick works. It's the heat, it really helps.

There's nothing quite as upsetting as a sick baby. I hope he feels okay and sleeps without pain. :)

Poor little tyke.

I wonder if I died tonight would anybody miss me?

J! Yes of course we would and so would your beautiful family!! Don't talk like that woman.

My family would not care. They don't even know me anymore.
