Does anything sound more exciting than driving a total of 18 hours 39 min (according to map*quest) plus stops with two children in diapers? No? I didn't think so. ;) There are quite a few things I can think of that would be more fun. But I can only think of one thing more fun than spending a couple months with family over the holidays - spending a couple months with my hubby over the holidays of course. Since my hubby isn't an option I'm excited about spending time with my family. I can't remember if I've shared the confusing puzzle that is my family before but maybe in a future post. Long story short I have siblings the same age as my kids. Which may be odd but is a lot of fun. I think the best part about it is I don't worry about my kids running around my dad's house & him getting cranky about it because more than likely one of his kids were running around also. He may not like it but it's not the same kind of cranky. Their house is already 'kid proof' (as much as mine is) and my kids will have 4-5 other kids to play with right there in the house. The visit will be well worth the long drive. I won't be around the net for a few days but will check in once I am and will likely post as much as I have been lately, twice a week or so. Oh the stories I'll have. I will be reading blogs as often as I can but definitely won't be on the computer as much as I am right now. I must say these are times I wish I had a laptop. And isn't it just perfect that I'm thinking about buying a laptop when we just got the desktop paid off? I don't recommend buying a computer (or any large item outside of a car) on credit. It's just not fun. I don't even want to think about how much extra we paid on top of the principal, the computer may just fly through the window. But we were young and didn't know better. As you can tell from my rambling I'm getting tired. It's been a long day & I've got a longer one ahead of me. The car is half packed (I am taking SO much stuff with us I may as well be moving in), bags are mostly packed and house is somewhat clean. So I've got a bit more to do tonight then it's off to bed so I'm well rested for the next day. I just thought I had something funny to say but now I can't remember. Maybe it wasn't all that funny anyway, or at least only to someone as tired as I am. Anyways, I will miss the blogosphere and promise to catch up on my memes as soon as I can. I'm sure the three days of driving will be quite the inspiration for randomness and stories to share. Thanks for visiting!

Wow, and I feel like a hero when I do the 6-hr drive to the city alone with my kids!! (I HAVE done it in a blinding snowstorm, so it FELT like almost 18 hours!!! Does that count?) That will be a huge challenge, but at least you're not just staying for a day or two and then coming right back home again.
I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing stay with your family!! Drive safe!
Have a wonderful time! You can do it=)
Have a lovely and safe trip...it's so good you can go.
Good grief! You are a brave brave girl! Enjoy it though sounds like it will be worth the journey....can't wait to hear the stories you will have to tell :)
Be safe.
It definitely sounds like quite an adventure! But I'm glad that you get to spend time with your family especially over the holidays.
E-N-J-O-Y your time away, and I'd love to hear your family story one day...
I can just picture you there in New Mexico...the joyous chaos! Looking forward to the photos and pray you have a glorious time and oh, by the way--I'll send to two of my beefy angels to protect you and your sweet children along the way! And no, none of my angels look like Clarence from "It's a Wonderful Life" (think Terminator!) Ha!
