We're at our half way point in our journey to the San Antonio area.

We left late Wednesday morning and after a long day driving met up with our eldest and his foster mom for a quick visit in Southern California.  We won't be here next month for his 15th birthday so we stopped to give him his present early after hanging out at park for just a bit so the little ones could stretch their legs.  After our visit with him we had another 40 minute drive (plus a stop to Walmart for milk and food for dinner).  We finally got into our motel at around 11pm and ate dinner and got everyone to bed by 12:30am (I think it was that early).  Most of the little ones didn't sleep well (therefore neither did Mommy or Daddy).  We got another late start yesterday morning since sleep is a priority.

I'm the driver on this trip so that my greek god can work.  I just about diiiiiiiiiiiied due to exhaustian yesterday.  If you were driving on I-10 yesterday somewhere in Arizona and you saw a woman driving a minivan making funny faces and bouncing around . . . it was probably me.  Trying to stay awake.  Thanks to Skittles and Piper (sounds like a band, huh?) I was able to sit looking like a normal person for awhile (notice that I said "looking" like a normal person?).

We managed to get to eat dinner 3 hours earlier last night!  Woo-hoo!

I slept about 8 hours last night and people are just starting to wake up in here.  We'll get another late start this morning but like I said earlier . . . sleep is a priority.


Tex is the last to get the fever and he still had it last night but slept through the night so that's good (he's currently babbling in his tent).  My greek god took Miss Frizzle and Irish Boy swimming last night while the other kids went to bed (kind of hard to explain to a 5 & 3 year old why they have to go to bed while the other two get to go swimming but that's life and I'm sure they'll survive . . . they were so tired that they didn't put up too much of a protest).

Gotta get movin'

- it's blahg!  mb
