it was all my idea...

i came up with the whole plan/idea. i had to talk pat into it.

but right about now, i'm slightly (ok. a lot.) nervous.

tomorrow morning, after the kids swim in half of their swim meet, we are leaving on a road trip for 4 days. by "we" i mean me with all 6 kids. by road trip i mean a total of 22 or so hours of driving over 4 days. 2 nights at a friends. 1 night in a hotel. 1 museum. 2 different states we are staying in (south carolina and georgia.)

i'm mostly excited. i want to just have FUN and BE fun and ENJOY my kids and CONNECT with my friend. but i have to admit to also being nervous. i also just realized we are leaving at PEAK traffic time in the WORST traffic area in the country the weekend before the 4th of July. :/ i'm thinking that 22 hours might be a few longer...

So much of how we experience things is about our expectations, so go into this trip expecting things to be loud, crazy, and frustrating at times. And tell yourself now how you'll handle it when that's actually how things go. Just laugh. Teach your kids that being together is what's important...not keeping to a schedule or having perfect attitudes all the time. Teach them grace in everything:). Have fun on this adventure!!
