On the Road again........................


So we loaded up the truck and headed to my Mom's. We took the Titan from Charlotte, to Southern Illinois in order to bring back some furniture my mom wanted us to have. One of the coolest things was the recliner... NOW LADIES before you let out that collective sigh this one has a story. The recliner was Jim's. He died a year ago last Christmas and the coolest photo I have of him toward the end was him in that recliner with Hannah my niece. He just looked at her, and she didn't know he was sick she just looked right back and gurgled and cooed and made him smile. It was great. So now, I have it, and in some way I hope that recliner helps our baby feel a little like Hannah did.

On another note, the ten hour trip wasn't that sweet for a girl who feels like she has had one too many margaritas without the chips and salsa. I just felt crappy so luckily I have the ability to put myself into a sleep coma in a car that took care of most of the ride there. We got in about 3 am Friday morning and I was up at 6. Something about this little buddy wants to make me a morning person.

Uncle chuck came over and that was great. We had dinner out, not that I wanted any but it was fun to see he and mom enjoy good food, wine and talk about becoming the snoop sisters. As well, in order to include Stephen in things they started telling embarrassing moments about me, and there are tons.

Finally back home last night it was great to be here. I just wanted to be still. Funny, after ten hours in a car home to just want to sit, but to be able to stretch out was nice. As well, we got to Nuggle with Nala. She was glad we were home.

That is all for now. Until the next upchuck.. I mean update.
