According to Plan

Is it already Thursday? Or is it only Thursday? Yesterday we were in the car about twelve hours. Expected the children to be perfectly awful but I think we successfully demoralized them enough that they gave up and stopped complaining. Sort of.

Unlike the previous long drive, where I thought lots of interesting things about the scenery, this time I didn't think anything at all. Well, I did, but I don't think there's a great fascination in counting dead animals by the road and repeatedly checking food supplies.

Today we're going to make the kids run and run and run. And tomorrow they finally, finally get to see their grandparents. And I, well, I will congratulate myself on a trip pretty well planned and for the most part well executed. The food was plentiful and easily distriluted. The clothes continue in general order. And, because I agonized so much before hand, I haven't spent the whole time trying to keep track of every little thing. And that is my chief desire, not to spend this whole month keeping track of every little thing, because that's my job at home.

And on that note, I have to go smear Nutella on pancakes so that the kids can begin to cease their quiet weeping. Have a lovely day!
