Oh well

Well today was a very hectic day. Between trying to get everything ready for our trip, preparing our stuff in case of a storm/s (yes there are now two of them out there -- Hannah is alive and kicking in the Atlantic), taking care of Isaac, Scrubs, and running some last minute errands, and of course doing my job for RLS, I have barely had a free minute.

Add to that the fact that we got some bad news from our attorney today. The judge didn't seem to care that we had planned all along to make a trip to Ft. Lauderdale in September. He didn't seem to care that things would have been on time had the last storm warning not cancelled court. He didn't seem to care that JB was in the military or that we had to drive ten hours for this hearing. He is setting the hearing for October. So, we'll have to make another trip to Ft. Lauderdale in October. Oh well. You can't try to change something that can't be changed. So we'll just make the best of things that we can. I'm sure our families will be happy to see us again, but figuring out the logistics of another trip will be quite an adventure.

We thought about cancelling this trip, but JB had already been given time off, and we wanted to get me down there for his two weeks of nights. So we'll continue as planned. Our plans include leaving as early as we can tomorrow morning and making the ten hour trip with dog and baby along for the ride. Should be a fun day -- made more fun when we actually arrive! I'll make sure to post a bunch while we are gone! See you when we get there!

You'll do just fine.

If I can make the trip from Virginia to Western NY with a toddler and a dog solo for 10 hours you guys can do it without even blinking. It was always the packing, potty breaks during the trip that were my headache, imagine trying to hold onto a toddler and a 3 year old dog that was bounding around from excitement of getting out of the car at rest stops and people always wanting to pet the dog. Then try to fit a rest pit stop for yourself where you have to take the toddler in with you and leave the dog for a quick minute just to pee yourself. I did that for 4 years trips back and forth while hubby was out on deployment. He would say bye bye to us and we would say bye bye to Virginia and head north for a couple of days while he was gone, it took our minds off the fact that we would not be able to talk to him at all for a while (those were the days of no email and no communication).

Have an awesome trip, enjoy the family and the time JB has off.
