Do you have those days when you feel like this. You just want your mom to to give you a big kiss on the head letting you know that all is right with the world. I feel like this lately. Yes, it is 5 am and I am blogging. I woke up with heartburn and then began to think about all the stuff I need to do to get ready to leave. We head for Indy tomorrow evening.
Why do I struggle with the anxiety related to travel? I know it is really not that big of a deal but still I get all worked up about it. Oh...to be a kid again and just hop in the car ready to go. Find that spot in the back window (days before seat belts) and hunker down for the long haul. I never appreciated my parents enough, do any of us when we are kids. Not a question really.
I know I just need to make a list and then get the stuff done. It's not that hard. I'll do it and I'll get everything ready~forgetting something I am sure (that's why there's a walmart on every corner right!?) We are going to my former home for goodness sake~what's the big deal. The 16 hours on the road! Look for the mommy-van filled with kids, bags and parents and honk and wave if you pass us. We've got a "full tank of freedom" (Rock quote-not mine) and we're not stopping till we get there.
Have a great holiday everyone.

i love rock's quote. i wish i had that optimism when we filled up for a long trip! i don't know what it is about a car, it sends my otherwise pleasant to be around children into bizzaro world and i get so stinkin' tired of climbing over the seats to thump heads! (well, not really thump them, all the time anyway).
i'm sure it will all be worth it and you'll be amazed how smooth it goes! have fun.
Love the Rock quote! It makes me want to take a road trip! I hope you have a WONDERFUL time with your family. Go and relax and take some pictures of that cute, little Parker!
oh, i love the picture you posted. so cute.
i know what you mean about traveling. it's just a lot of work. sometimes i think i don't really want to go knowing what is all involved. that sounds bad, but it's true.
hope you have a great trip.
It all usually works out in the end but I know what you mean. Someone usually forgets something!
Hope you have a great time!
I always stress and then when it's over I wonder what the big deal was. Next trip...just Dave, me and Dallas (oh...Linds and Beto, too) Hurray!
have a blast!
Have a safe journey, Kim. I look forward to seeing any photos you decide to post when you get back.
