Especially when she's tired and then take until my arm dies from lack of circulation to actally fall asleep. <br /><br />I know one day we'll all look back and miss all this but in the moment we just wish for peace and quiet.Rachel Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893403038985836386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-49977699806947871942009-09-13T15:17:20.811-05:002009-09-13T15:17:20.811-05:00Hey girl!

After our last road trip (which was just for my sister's wedding in August) I'm seriously re-thinking car travel at Christmas. The two little ones were great. The two bigger ones not so much.<br /><br />Hang in there -- the monkey phase will pass -- and then they'll be the next phase! :)<br /><br />Friday HUGS!!!Kim H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12684666350821801488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-60785209703572788712009-09-11T12:09:42.410-05:002009-09-11T12:09:42.410-05:00I can totally relate to this!!

We had always flown in the past (when it was just my husband and me)- but lugging around the dumb stroller and car seat (to use when we arrived) plus the additional diaper bags, etc. just didn't seem worth it. Oh it was so worth it. I will never drive from Houston to Poteau, Oklahoma EVER again.amykathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902109330776556736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-18310045826762541442009-09-11T11:04:13.740-05:002009-09-11T11:04:13.740-05:00haha... 99 bottles of beer. that'd be a fun on...haha... 99 bottles of beer. that'd be a fun one!<br /><br />ummmm, after reading all that i only have one thing to say: i'm SO glad you guys didn't have car trouble and get stranded on the side of the road! :-)erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374300702470582032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005234532014158396.post-57718710185055682972009-09-11T09:42:14.023-05:002009-09-11T09:42:14.023-05:00Oh, Mary.

She is a paci addict and WHILE DRIVING I contort myself to find hers--then she throws it across the car and wails for a few more hours.
