Are We There Yet.....

I had to make that long & boring drive to beautiful Baker CA this afternoon! Mike had the boys for Thanksgiving and decided to take them to Utah (he's braver than me, or not as smart as me)! We met there so he didn't have to drive all the way back here. As I'm driving in the most annoying traffic...ya know the kind that is you're going a comfortable 80 mph then the car in front of you slams on her brakes and now youo're going a slow 45mph! This continued for a good hour and a half on the 15. Not fun! I finally see the thermometer and know I'm there! YAY! I decide to get a coke and a lil something to eat for the drive home at Del Taco. There is a huge sign at the drive thru that reads CASH ONLY. What the? I mean come on! Mike pulls up and the kids are cranky, I guess Cody was sick the whole trip and Kyle was in rare form (or just Kyle form) and was cranky the whole trip! Needless to say Mike was happy to hand em over! I was happy to have em, I missed em....until about 5 minutes into the car ride! The crying began...the whining...the fighting...kyle getting up out of his seat and hitting Cody! I mean, seriously! I had to endure this for 2 1/2 hours! In my kids defense they had been in the car pretty much all day. But still didnt make it any easier on their poor ol mom! We finally made it home...I hate that drive!

poor kids!! (and poor mom) I get cranky when i have to be in the car that long too! I hate Baker...famous location of my meltdown =) get with the time del taco. Probably better you didn't have cash...I don't trust places in Baker too eat at. How can the food be fresh in the middle of no where? haha glad the boys and you made it home...in one piece

Yuck! Sounds like not a fun time at all! I'm glad you have your boys back. I feel the same way about my kids--they drive me CRAZY when they're around, but I miss them like crazy when they're not.
