On the Road Again

18November

So my family and I are somewhere outside Knoxville, getting ready to cut across North Carolina on the way to MomMom and PopPop’s house up in Delaware on the first stop in the drop the kids and pets off for the year. 

I have to say, this has been the most relaxing trip we’ve taken so far. The kids have been angels and even the psycho cat hasn’t been that annoying and I cannot honestly recall when I’ve been this patient. It sucks that I can’t be like this all the time… Anyway, I’m keeping my mind busy and trying not to think about next Friday (The Departure) when the year away from the kids and pets and home officially begins. I’m trying to figure out how to post the donut of despair up on my website, so you all can count down with me. Otherwise, just ready to get started so I can get it over with already.

That’s all for now!

Surrender

07November

So, I’m a sucky parent but I gave in. Something about fighting a never ending battle for the last two weeks I”m going to spend with my child for over a year made me reconsider just how much I wanted her to eat green beans. I decided not that much. So, we’ve taken a new track. I cook. If she eats, great. If not, oh well. I’m just not cooking anything else. So we’re at an impasse, so to speak. But as the clock winds down to the day I say goodbye to my babies, I’ll look on this as a good decision. Who wants to spend the small amount of time fighting? I’d rather bake pies and have a good time at the zoo.

Later
