Three Kid Circus

Hold on to your hats, folks, because we are about to become the Flying Three Kid Circus! That's right, tomorrow, after feeding my children insane, should-be-illegal quantities of candy, and then adding to the fun with Benedryl (only because of sinus issues, not to knock them out - hoo-whee, because benedryl makes my kids hyper, whee!) we're boarding a plane.

If you hear a sonic boom sometime mid-afternoon, that's probably the sound of my brain imploding. Wait, does imploding make a sound? Lee? What say you?

Is anyone else watching "Little House on the Prairie?" I don't have no stinkin' pioneer spirit. If my man wanted to pack my family up in a covered wagon and go for a little drive, say, like for a couple of months, to the middle of nowhere, where we would have lots of trees but nothing else...I would have to say no.

This is for the same reason we are not driving to Disneyland. Long about the one hour mark on a road trip, my darling, dear, annoying-ass husband begins to claim that he is exhausted. So, so tired. He turns the radio up. He opens the window. He announces things like "I just micro-napped." This while we are doing 70 on a five lane freeway.

Then, he starts up with the chanting. Tired, ti-ti-ti-ti-Tiiiiii-red. I have made it perfectly clear that in the unlikely event of our divorce, this will be reason #1.

So yeah, put us in a wagon. I'd sell him to the Sioux without batting an eyelash.

Ahem.

So, anyway, I'll be away from the computer for a few glorious days. Upon my return, I should have enough Travelling Circus stories to keep the blog fresh for the next few months.

Have a wonderful week!

My hubby is the exact opposite. He's so damn quiet and serious that it drives me crazy. We do lots of car trips with our kids, but they aren't old enough to really annoy the pants off of me yet. Anyway...Have a fabulous Easter and a most wonderful trip! You guys are gonna have a ball!

Hope you guys have a fantabulous time! You should totally score a new tiara while you are out there in princess land...

Tried to watch Little House but it was not near as good as the original. There is only one Laura and one Charles. I hope they are not planning on making it a new series. If so, don’t think it will last long. Hope you have lots of fun on your vacation. Look forward to hearing all about it once you return!

Just hopping by to wish you a Happy Easter! :)

My daughter is a big "Little House" fan & we watched it. It wasn't as I had hoped but it's okay. But here's a question...Where is Baby Carrie?!? How can they leave her out? Do they think that this is all new to us? We are in the middle of reading the series (currently reading The Long *long oh, so very long* Winter), so we are very up on arms about the deletion of a whole sister! This, of course, won't keep us from watching the next four weeks!

I agree tho. I too would make a lousy pioneer. I can't even live without TiVo.

ha ha! My kids ate lots of candy, and I'm with you about heading out in a covered wagon. My husband can't go anywhere without satellite radio anyway.

Happy Easter. And no micro-napping on the road. Ever. At least warn us as to your approximate location and we'll steer clear ;-)
