Road Trip: Day One (Gabrielle)
May 30, 2007 by Gabrielle
I don’t know why I entitled this series Road Trip when the whole point is that I’m not going anywhere. Or maybe it’s that a road trip the the defining feature of my life in the short term. Or maybe it’s just wishful thinking. Or maybe it’s the penguins.
Be that as it may, today is the first day of the Seth-and-Crystal-rushing-home-to-be-with-family-trip. It is also the first day of I’m-home-with-the-children-may-God-preserve-us. So far today has gone really well. It’s not that unusual yet. The Pieffers, those who will be sharing the insanity with me, will be here for dinner. I think the real craziness will start tomorrow.
In a moment of profound thought…1 adult/5 kids is a long, difficult road, whether or not there’s a motorized vehicle and a median strip involved. Bon Voyage, Gaby!
If you get tired of your road trip, you can send the children my way. I’ll gladly babysit them…and teach them to gamble and about betting on horses as I did with the Evans kids one afternoon.
