well, I'd say the destinations were good, the actual traveling... interesting doing it alone with a two year old. I won't say never again, well actually I will, since she'll be older next time.

missed you guys too, tess, ang.


I'll be writing for the next few days, not sure if I'll post em all at once or just one at a time... right now I'm blowing up my writing chair.

I used to do long drives (i.e., hundreds of miles) alone with my kids when they were little. And you know two kids isn't two--it somehow morphs exponentially, lol, especially in a moving vehicle. My method for surviving that particular torture--stop whenever they say and give them whatever they want. Call it weak, call it caving in--I care not.

I always arrived at the destination poorer but with my sanity intact.

I once did an 11-hour drive--me and my kids, aged about 4 and 8 at the time, where they spent at least two-thirds of the trip singing the following (from Animaniacs)--

Are we there yet?
I'm hungry. I'm tired.
How far?

My nose is snotty.
I wanna move my body.
Need to use the potty.
Better stop the car.

It was cute about the first 300 times. You think poetry is hard? Sheeit....
