I’m officially freakin’ out.
I leave tomorrow. In my car. To drive 16 HOURS with my parents and my son. You would think that I would have my stuff together right? Wrong. I’ve barely even skimmed the surface of getting my shit together for this trip.
And. I was really, really hoping to have my new-to-me iPod this week, since I won it on Sept 3. It was just shipped yesterday. Fucksakes. I’m really disappointed but leaving bad feedback could only be bad for me… so I suck it up and deal with the fact that when I come back from my vacation, I will then have an iPod.
While I’m away, I will check in since I’m a loser and toting my work laptop along for the ride. I don’t know just how frequently I can, so I was hoping to enlist some help around here. Email me (temptingmamaATgmailDOTcom) if you’re interested in a guest spot. I will set you up get you logged in between today and tomorrow morning. One condition though: I don’t wanna see any of those little stars in lieu of swear words. This is an askterik free zone. Remember that.

Carter and I have survived my week as a single parent (so far), only two more to go. I managed to feed him meals that didn’t consist of canned pasta, Kraft Dinner, or sandwiches. We had real food: which was cooked and prepared by Mike before he left. All I had to do was warm it. But that’s not the point.
Bath time went off without a hitch, I didn’t have one meltdown to deal with in two days and bed time was a breeze. Both nights - even with a thunderstorm.
One down two to go.
Tomorrow is vacation day!! *w00t*
Pray for me!
Oh, and come by and visit me at Viable Vixen. I got a new post up!!
I feel you on the whole shipping thing. I always curse when things I buy online aren’t here in the expected time frame.

You are SO lucky to have a husband that makes those meals for you! Wowsa!
Sorry to hear about your iPod too. Dang it. Why can’t people just get their asses in gear.
I think he was more worried about our son getting a decent meal then me. Regardless, it was appreciated - by both me and Carter!!
Yeah, iPod totally blows. I was counting on it to save me from time to time these next two weeks.

I can’t believe Mike does/did so much cooking for you, you FUCKING BITCH SLUT WHORE! (How’s that for no asterisks!) Have a great vacation! Let your parents do all the work!
That’s the first I’ve *heard* you swear! I think I almost peed a little. Pretty, happy, polite and always positive Haley says SWEARS!!

Hello, I saw you over at Brillig. I am contributing to riding the slow traffic from your blog. Ok so I am just one person but I am trying to do my part
I wish you all the best on your trip. Have fun!

I hope you have fun on your trip. I took Alexander on a 24 hour train ride when he was two. Just the two of us. It was great fun, but of course, you can move in a train. Not so much in a car. Good luck.

Good luck on the trip!!! Sounds like a blast.
And … lucky you that your husband did all the cooking. Jealous!!!!
