Today's sponsors....

remembering years past....

Today will be brought to you by...

-lots of snacks

-a red box movie or two.

-many extreme threats of turning around and going home...even though I would never follow through.

-the songs of Raffi...played over and over 2 hours into the trip, because Syd has been falling  asleep when we put Joshua Giraffe on repeat.

-a Starbuck's Latte with nonfat milk and no foam

-lollipops

-the anticipation of Frankie's Taco Pizza (is this a good one Kim?)

-the ability to entertain while mostly keeping my eyes on the road

-the power to survive many hours of whining

-the luck of choosing the right route so we don't hit too much road construction.

Summer adventures continue today for my troops.

And road trips mean mama is feeling strong with an "I think I can" attitude that will rock

these next 4-6 hours like all mama rock stars do in a

minivan with 16 cup holders and stow and go storage. 

Push yourself today...with your children, with your to do list, with your exercise, with your spouse, with something.

Make it happen.

GO!

And for a laugh...go read Scary Mommy's list of reasons why not to have a baby. 

Number 32:

32. Not being able to soothe a screaming baby in a backward facing seat because you are concentrating on not wrapping your car around a tree, but at that moment it sounds like a fine way to put you out of your misery.
