Roadtrip

The kids and I are in Michigan after our first long term road trip. The kids did great, I didn't need valium and we all actually liked each other once we got to our destination. We stopped at every state line and took pictures - Devin got a kick out of having one foot in one state and one foot in the other. He also thought it was funny when I was in one state and he was in the other - as if he could misbehave with impunity because he was out of my "jurisdiction". As if moms respect any kind of boundary lines.

I will be posting up pictures after I get back. We are all having a great time seeing family. Jeff is lonely at home. He actually sent me a picture on my phone of the bed made because he knew it would make me happy. This is the longest we have been away from each other and the longest the kids have been away from him. I am sure as the days wear on we will miss him more and more.

My son is bonding with his great grandma and stretching her horizons. His mohawk was the first adjustment but the biggest came when he took her to youtube and played her his favorite song - lose yourself by Eminem. I am thinking I just made it back on the black sheep list. Being the good grandchild was fun while it lasted. But as Katharine Hepburn said - If you obey all the rules - you miss all the fun"
