I Travel Well




Well, I really know how to travel. You know I do right? I mean, who could travel and zigzag across the country as much as I do without being TOTALLY AWESOME at it. Unless the kids get sick of course. Or there is trouble. But we have AAA and cell phones. So much easier than those people in the olden days that had wagons making their own roads in the prairie. Who just died when something went wrong.

I get to go home to my mommy while Hubbend is gone. I may just tweet across America. At rest stops of course. There is no greater way to see America than through it's rest stops full of colon cement. But, now that I'm learning so much by making mini 7 hour trips all the time for Chickadee's doctor visits, I'm recognizing that there is so much more.

So, if you don't follow me on Twitter- DO IT. If you don't do Twitter you may just want to get an account. I may not be worth it to you, but @MrsFatass, @NoMoreBacon, @YumYucky, @SkinnySushi, @Fitarella, @ScaryMommy, @JeninRL, . . . well they all do.

If you're dying to see how I stock my car for such marathons, click HERE Which is ridiculous, because I know you are all just as weird that way as I am. Right?

Guys?

Well, to any of you left, enjoy the carousel of my favorite audio books. Love them. You can make your own fantastic doodads like this if you open your own Amazon Associates account. I'd love to help you all figure it out, because I've had so much fun making mine. I don't think they even look like ads, but I may be biased.

A bit.

Love you. If I'm not back blogging in . . . oh, say a month, then come swimming after me. I might be lost in cyberspace.

    You are amazing! I can barely handle a trip to the beach. I suck at packing...and unpacking....

    Safe travels!

    I hate road trips. But I have also gotten better at them, knowing what to pack, forgetting less. I am happy that tomorrow when my son drives back to college (over 1100 miles) it is only my husband hitting the road with him this time:)

    I'm going on a road trip tomorrow. It's 1.5 hours to Atlantic City. I consider that long, hard traveling. And I totally love those elementary-ish school books. I could read them just for myself.

    I must admit I am now all jitterish and worrying and wondering and planing and oh you know why. This is going to so cool. Please travel so so carefully and have fun along the way.

It's Here

We got the moving truck rather unexpectedly. It's more expensive than Mr. Survival planned, so we're doing a lot of lifting, cardio, and squats. No. We're not doing the bootcamp in a trailer. We ARE moving things to the new garage, since we can't move in yet, but they're being kind enough to let us dump in a storage manner. Sorry. I'll have to beg your forgiveness and promise to update you. Eventually.

I Found True Happiness

It feels like I've become a detached voice, writing but not feeling on this blog.  I'm living a lot of things that don't fit neatly into my bloggable ownership file. Even now, I've spent an hour with this tab open to write a new post and I've done absolutely everything else possible.  For once I can't put a finger on what I'm feeling.  I don't fit into any definable box. On one hand, I'm spending an hour in therapy with Chickadee and another hour round trip three times a week. Mr. Survival is fighting off unemployment blues. We cannot shake things up and have me go to work. I'm not going to go to FitBloggin'11 . But, on the other hand, Chickadee is STANDING in the stander for minutes instead of seconds! Chickadee is grasping things momentarily for the first time in eighteen months. I'm so in love with Mr. Survival it's unbelievable. We are tighter as a family than we ever have been. I'm stressed and frustrated.  I...

Flying With Concrete

Today I wanted to write about my dreams. Full of hope and bliss and fulfillment. Yeah, I sound about as light as a bucket of cement. Ready to fly away. Hang on, while I toss out the top of the pile. Maybe that will help me find my lofty aspirations. Nope. Thing is, I'm remembering today that I'm afraid of heights. Really. Once Hubbend made me climb up three stories of scaffolding. Broke it all down for me and left me no other choice. Made me feel irreplaceable. Yes, we must remember that I am crazy friends. Leave it to me to feel important by being told to go up a towering structure of death. I did it though. And I even wired a speaker while I was up there. But I'm still afraid of heights. So. Do you wanna help me out today? For every comment that tells me something someone wants to be able to do that they can't do now I will do one minute of exercise. Really. Because of my child care situation, it will have to be tomorrow morning. So have at it. ...
