Some parents cringe at the thought of long road trips with the kiddos or hotel rooms packed with a family of five, but let me just tell you that those are the moments I LIVE FOR!!!
It’s not like I don’t get irritated at times, cause I do (just ask my kids!) The earphones do help at times. :)
But, all in all, the older my kids get, and the more they develop their little personalities, the more I enjoy them.
We love taking little get-aways, making memories, making ordinary moments fun. Last weekend, we took a marathon road trip to West Texas for a job interview (that’s a whole other post… agghhh!).
We had so much fun with the kiddos. It’s like when we go out to dinner, they’re real people who feed themselves, people I enjoy. We talk and laugh and enjoy each other.
And, I leave with two quotes:
The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses. ~Joyce Brothers
