The 16 Hour Drive

Hello.

We’re going to be driving 16 hours today.

No, it’s not really a joy trip.

One of Tom’s Uncles has passed away from cancer so we’re going to pay our respects. We weren’t terribly close but it’s still nice to honor family members so please keep his family in his thoughts and prayers.

The thing is though, we’re in Oklahoma.

Tom’s family is in Ohio.

So yeah. 16 hours.

We’re leaving tonight so the kids will be sleeping through most of it. Or so we hope.

Otherwise it’s going to be a long trip.

Wish us luck.

You can follow our adventures on my Twitter where, if the kids work my nerves enough I'll leave directions on where I'll be dropping them off if anyone wanted a free child.

(No, but seriously, should I be investing in those earphones where you can't hear ANYTHING?)

In other news, a few people were curious on what Natalie was wearing in my Corn Maze post. She had on this:


And yes, naturally, it's from Gymboree.

(Not Tommy's outfit. His is from the glorious Target.)

    But I must comment, you know they have these things that fly now, right? Like in the sky, and they only take a few hours. Just sayin.

  7. This sort of thing (the roadtrip) is why folks should have children at a young age.
