a quick trip?

Whoever said the term "quick trip" didn't try and do it with 4 boys in tow. All we need to pack is underwear, toothbrush, pj's and 1 clean set of clothes. How long should this take to accomplish? Not 45 minutes. Sheesh...what was I thinking?...lol!

Trace Atkins has a song on the radio right now called "You're gonna miss this" and it's about how his children are grown and how he's missing the "parenting" part of being a dad. Or something like that. Now picture this...2 boys in the back seat argueing about what movie to watch on the portable DVD player, 1 child sobbing in the front seat because he wants to sit between his brothers, never mind that his car seat is in the front, and a 2nd boy testing his lungs in the front seat just for something to do. I checked - no diaper needing changed, didn't want a snack or drink...or toy, or phone, or empty Girl Guide cookie box to play with...LOL. AAAHHH!!! I think Mr. Atkins may be so removed from parenting that he can romantize it and has forgotten the reality of it. At least we are all home and no one got left on the side of the road!

Good night, I'm going to bed!
