road trip
2 pm was our target time
2 pm came and went
I was still running errands
last store - hurry get in car and get home
turn on car- no air conditioner
3 pm Jake takes car to dealer
4 pm Jake still not home
not a problem because I'm still packing
4 30 pm Jake is home
pack the car as fast as I can
5 pm locked and loaded
515 pm turning around Jake forgot his golf shoes
530 pm  hit the freeway
or should i say the wall of cars on the freeway
545 pm everyone is hungry
we still haven 't moved
6:15 pm get of the Nampa exit
7.5 miles from our house
grab dinner from Sonic
6:45 hit HWY 55
our curvy companion for the next 3.5 hours
Cole spills his soda - I have no napkins
a pillow case will soak up a small soda from Sonic
7:45 pm 1 hour down and yep we are stopping
 in Mc Dermit  to see why our tires are shaking our guts out
literally the kids are in the back asking why the road is so bumpy
only its not the road - it is my BRAND NEW TIRES
surprise the town of 500 doesn't have the tool we need to fix our tire
on the road again
Kennedy spills her soda
good thing we brought 4 pillows
8:50 pm stop on the side of the road to pee
 because one of my children wouldn't pee at the last stop - guess who
Kennedy pees her pants
9:54 pm pull into Winnemuca
gas up and go pee
get a bottle for kens - microwave doesn't work - she won't drink cold milk
10:20 pm trip to Wal Mart - no blankets for kids to sleep with
we were suppose to leave at 2 - no one needed a blanket
10:40 pm leave Winnamuca
hit hwy 80
our straight companion for the next 4 hours.
11:17 pm kids still not asleep "too shaky"
11:21 pm heaven help me.........
