OMG! I was so excited to blog yesterday, I had a chance to write and save it in a word document until we stopped for the night and got wifi. But after a 17 hour drive, we all just were focusing on showering and getting to bed asap. We passed out around 10pm, I woke up at 2am to feed my baby and realized I never posted the blog. I tried to sleep a little more, the baby woke me up at 4am to eat, and here I am.
Everyone else is asleep at the moment, and I am getting mentally ready for the long drive ahead. Here is the dealio...Sam is the driver, and that is his main job, he also does breakfast and dinner. I am the activities coordinator, and service attendant while we are on the road. Overall it has been manageable, and even enjoyable. I will post my post from yesterday directly after this one and you will get an inside view of our plan and happenings.
I am really enjoying the road and looking forward to our adventure, I am hoping this will be be an amazing bonding experience for my immediate family, and my family that we are on our way to visit.
The kids are doing great, really enjoying getting out of their routine, and we are working on using our words, helping each other, and sharing. As most of you know travelling with someone really lets you see the real person, everything is out in the open. So even for a family that is always together, it is a time when everyone has needs, and we need to be sensitive to each other and communicate.
Most of my life I have always looked out for number one, me, moi, yours truly. I think this is the first time since getting married and having kids I realize how that really doesn't work anymore. Yes of course its important to take care of mama, and take time for yourself. But besides the "we" of a marriage or any relationship, kids are a whole different ballgame. They need to be validated, acknowledged, celebrated, recognize, hugged, kissed, and played with 24/7. OY VEY what have I gotten myself into? :) Hey I am the first to say, Bring it, Otherwise we would be Bored!
Have a wonderful Father's Day weekend everybody,
Shabbat Shalom
