THE TRIP FROM HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, major whiny entry below. Sorry, you were warned!! Ok, so we leave at 11:30 on Saturday morning to go to my sisters. The van of course has a bad connect on the battery terminal and we need to fix before we leave. I am very proud of myself, since i have been telling hubby to fix it for weeks. He of course waits until the minute we are ready to leave and then realizes he needs a part. I didn’t get upset, really took it in stride, since we really were on any time schedule for my sisters.
So we are off….the drive went fine. Note: Tommy did not sleep on the way to Fargo at all, but did fall asleep finally a couple of blocks from my sisters house. I end up waking him to get out of the van. We then pick up my sister and drive my nieces to deliver all the baby stuff. She was very thankful for alll the stuff, carseat, bouncy car, clothes, and high chair to name a few.
After that we head to my sister’s. She has a turkey in the oven and I clean her kitchen. She has a fuit fly problem so I try to get rid of them by cleaning the counters, but didn’t find the source of them. Weird…
Tommy was playing with my nephew and his girlfriend. I tried to get him to lay down for a nap there, but he would jsut cry since he was unsure of where he was, etc. We decided to go to the hotel and check in and hope he falls asleep on the drive there before supper. No such luck.
We head back to my sis’s and have supper. So after supper around 9:30 or so, Tommy is getting cranky so we head off to the hotel. He falls asleep on the way there about 5 minutes. We get into the room set up his bed and get him in his PJ’s and feed him a bottle. He cries and cries and won’t settle down. Paul and I are amazingly tired. So after about an hour of screaming I decided to go drive and put Tommy to sleep. I get in the van and drive up and down University Street. He falls asleep, I come back to the hotel and put him in bed. I crawl in bed and go to sleep. He wakes up screaming at about 45 minutes later. After trying to calm him down a number of times, Paul takes himm for a drive. Paul returns to the hotel at about midnight. Tommy sleeps until 3:45 and starts screaming again. ARGH!!! We are so tired and barely functioning.
Needless to say we left the hotel at 5:00 after three hours of sleep since we were waking the entire place. Got to go, Tommy is screaming again!
I hope you guys can catch up on a little sleep. Sounds like you need a nap and a bubble bath.
Wow, packing the stuff, the drive to Fargo….and all the sleepless moments! YOU MUST BE A MOM!!!!
I would be sooooooooooo poooooooped!
