Equation #1:
One van
+
One mom
+
One Barney-watching toddler
+
One sleeping infant
+
torrential downpour
+
30mph
+
hazard lights
=
A delayed arrival time at Grammy & Papa's
Equation #2:
An already delayed arrival time
+
One squirrely toddler
+
One wailing infant
+
"Road Work Ahead" signs with no actual road work in sight
+
Rush hour traffic
+
5 miles @ 5mph for 60 minutes
+
A "create-your-own" detour
+
3 miles of back-tracking
+
2 hours late for dinner
=
One harried and hungry mom, who needs a bathroom...and a drink. Really bad.

Oh Lesley, I feel your pain. Really, I know that's like. My kids are not the greatest travelers and anything over 60 minutes is a big ordeal, not to mention all the unforseeable circumstances that happen! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI will have that drink ready on Wed. 10am isn't too early is it? I am glad you made it safely but I am really sorry about all the hassle you went through. Can't wait to see you in a few days!
