Shay got a whole week off of work, which means we will be able to go Kentucky and Cincinnati next week. I am excited......I think it just started to dawn on Shay that we are actually going to Indiana. Yesterday was the first time he actually said "wow, I'm excited we're going to Indiana!"
I believe it is because he does not believe we are actually going!!!
I have started packing and making lists, looking for games to play in the car with Sam, getting all the snacks ready, making some more lists and so forth. I enjoy traveling as much as the next person...actually maybe more...but I am not sure I will enjoy a 23 hour drive with Sam.I don't mean to sound like "Argh...It will be terrible, I hate traveling with kids!" But I think it is my "defense"mechanism saying : If you expect the worst, it will always be better than that!! I have a LOT of that..Shay hates that I think this way, but for some reason I do! Maybe I really don't like the though of things not going as planned, or something in that nature, whatever it is, I can't help it! Well, ok, I probably can...but it is kind of hard...
Anyway, I will try to focus on the positive right now.I will religiously pack for a week, make and remake hundreds of lists and we will be on our way to Indiana come Friday afternoon. By the way, Shay is REALLY hoping we get a Honda Odyssey(minivan) for our rental. I told him whatever we get will be fine, but you know men, if he doesn't get that Honda, he will not be a happy camper for the first couple of hours. Go figure what big difference it makes to him...I will worry with more important things like, are there enough diapers? ...and did we pack Eeyore? Which to him may seems frivolous, but Gosh knows what it would be like trying to get Sam to sleep without Eeyore!
So, I am itching with anxiety because I am sitting here while I should be packing something! I will try to post again before we leave!
By the way, Heather...its been kind of hard trying to find Big Hunk candy bars! Does anybody know where to find them?
