So, we decided to make a road trip to Kansas City because Pato’s aunt had some of his stuff that she brought up from Mexico, a year ago. If you know my family, you’ll know that we are not on time anywhere and that it’s usually Pato’s fault. Man did not get out of bed until 11. Then the washer I had our clothes in was malfunctioning. It kept filling up with water. I could not figure out why it was taking so long. I finally did and hand wrung out all of our clothes. Threw them in the dryer for 99 minutes to dry them all the way. Pato headed out to my parents to get a luggage topper. Which ended up being too big for my car or something like that. More time wasted. Do you know what time we left here? 5:00 PM. Nice. It’s a 3 hour drive without kids. We finally got to meet Kari (Relocated Dixie Girl) at 9:00 PM. Ann (crzy4prple) ended up coming over to her house and I got to meet both of them. They were both so wonderful! I only got an hour or so with them and I wanted to cry when we left. It was too much fun and so nice to talk to people who know what I’m talking about when I talk digital scrapbooking! Kari already scrapped a layout and I love it. Not because I look like I’ve been sitting in a car for hours upon hours and let us not forget I had a baby 3 months ago and that I nurse him. ROFL Didn’t noticed how endowed I was right now until I look at this through my own critical eyes. But because of what Kari wrote and how much her friendship truly means to me.
Notice she didn’t use any of the pictures where I was strategically hiding Christiano in front of fat. LOL And the glasses, oh the glasses. I can’t wear my contacts when driving, they bother me too much, so I wear my glasses on raod trips. *sigh* Kari, I still love you even after posting this at DST. LOL
Can I say, I joke about needing to break out the diet pills but this girl seriously needs to get back to work. I’ve lost all the baby weight, if that tells you where I was before. And that stomach is not pretty after housing it’s fourth child. Please tell me I’m not the only one who is hyper critical of themselves? I hate the way I look. Those curls poking out every which way don’t help much. LOL
We got to Pato’s aunt’s house at 10:30 PM. Stayed there until 1 in the morning. She wanted to keep my children. I told her I’d miss them a little. Jordan was seriously going to stay. Sorry dude, you got to suffer with the rest of us on the way home.
I spent almost the whole trip in the backseat with Christiano, which I noticed is a WHOLE lot more comfy when my sister is driving vs. Pato who thinks he has to lay down to drive which puts him in my lap pretty much. I did climb in the front seat for 2 hours on the way home. I started to fall asleep and kind of opened my eyes, half asleep and it looked to me like a semi jack knifing in front of us. I screamed and scared the pants off of Pato. Turned out the car in front of us was just swerving a bit. I stayed awake after that.
We finally folled in at about 5 in the morning. I slept until 10 when I woke up with a headache that was pounding so bad I couldn’t lay there anymore. The others slept until almost noon.
All in all the trip was totally worth it because I got to meet Kari and Ann. I just wish it had lasted longer!!!
I’ll have pictures tomorrow or the next day. I still have to edit and resize.
