On the road again

Well, the time has finally come for us to leave.

Everytime we head off out of town I always feel like the Beverly Hillbillies. This time we are taking our dog who will be taking turns riding in the back and in the backseat with the kids ~ and now I see a trailer hooked up to the back of the truck with a horse. Typically there is a wad or 2 of gum stuck outside the back window ~ all of our luggage in the back of the truck where at some point along the way it will begin to pour down rain and my husband starts putting everything in trash bags.

We have to make a trip 40 miles out of the way before we leave to pick up my credit card I left at a restaurant yesterday ~ when I called to make sure it was there they said it had been left behind the counter ~ they had forgotten to give it back to me. While we are there we will be exchanging Landon's new toy he bought with his lawn-mowing money ~ the Star Wars lightsaber is for a baby and a piece of junk, he said. My husband is still on a mission to find "the" DVD player for the car ~ we've looked at several but he still hasn't found one he wants. I figure we will be stopping by Best Buy and/or Circuit City hoping to find "the" one.

This is going to be the longest trip ever ~ I will be so ready to get there. It seems like it is about a 7 hour drive but with all the stops we make and taking a horse it should take about 12. After this drive I may be happy about staying there for 2 weeks.

So, next time you hear from me I will be live blogging from Houston. Thanks Hick for inspiring me to learn how. :-)
