Traveling with Children

I'm about to embark on a bit of an adventure with my two youngest offspring.

I think I'm insane...or at least, I know I soon will be. Many hours in the car...traveling north.

I can't wait to go - it's always fun...and I am busy packing my tylenol...ear plugs...plastic bags...(for the barf)...benadryl...dramamine...bigger ear plugs....

The upswing to a long drive??? Many letterboxes along the way!! Woo-hoo!!!

It WILL be an exciting drive!!!! And if I'm crazy at the end of it...who will know, really??

Some things never change.

Peep....

Well, I have 12 little pre-peepers cooking away in my living room. Our little chickens should hatch right around Mother's Day. That will be exciting. I am hoping for at least a 50% return on my $2.50 investment. Woo-hoo!! Today is day three. I have not been successfully able to "candle" the eggs yet, but I plan to try again. Perhaps this afternoon I will try one, when I next crack the incubator to flip the precious gems.

Happy Birthday, Baby Girlie

My sweet, adoreable baby girl is having a birthday today. Nine years old. She spent much time today in timeout. Sweetie girlie. Lots of screaming. Almost lost the priviledge of a birthday party. I had the phone in my hand....ready to start dialing the mother of the first name on the list....NO, NO, NO!!! she screams.....PLEASE NO!! I'LL BE GOOD, I PROOOOMISE!!!!!
Well, I guess she did her best. Uh-huh. She still looks like a beautiful little angel when she's asleep. Happy birthday sweet one. I do love you so.
