Spring Break

Today is the day I've been counting down to since January 3rd. (I promise I love my job, it's just I love not working more!)

It's the last day of school before we get a whole week off!! And my husband's school has the exact same week off! SCORE!

Instead of going to some tropical island, we'll be in the car for 20+ hours (one way!) all the way up to Michigan! And before you start to feel sorry for me, just know that we're so excited to be visiting FAMILY!

I thought I'd give you a preview of what it's like to be in the car with Max (my husband) and Barney (the dog) for 20 straight hours: (these events from our trip to MI last November are true in every way and not an exaggeration)


6:03 AM
Max turns off the radio. We sit in silence for a minute or two. I ask: "So, is this going to be a silent car trip, then?" Max: "SHHHH!"

7:38 AM
Max is driving. He suddenly puts both hands in the air, shouting: "LOOK! No hands!!"

11:45 AM
I say: "Hasn't Barney been great? He's been so content on my lap this whole time, he hasn't even whined." 
Barney: "whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine."

5:54 PM
Max: "I couldn't pee in my pants, even if I wanted to."

8:59 PM
Max: "Is time standing still or is it just me?"

11:14 PM
Max: "If it wasn't for Christianity, I'd probably be a sociopath."


Well, dear friends, wish us luck!! At least there will be fun times with family ahead!
