DAY 1:
Hey, when you've got a slow leak in one of your tires, it's best to get that checked out BEFORE you leave on your three day driving trip. Cause guess what? It's gonna leak. Luckily, we ran into Clint, a lovely young man in... I don't know, SOMEWHERE in West Texas, who diagnosed a cracked valve stem in under 10 minutes. $12 later, we were back on the open road.
Hey, when you've got a kid who still needs pull-ups at night, it's good to stop every 27 miles to use the bathroom. Of course, when you just stopped 10 minutes ago and she pipes up that she's had an accident in her seat, it's not good to try and figure out how in the every loving hell that can happen. It IS good to simply wad up that fancy pink skirt and underwear and throw it away at a truck stop with absolutely NO REGRET.
Hey, after a gigantic flip out temper tantrum, it's good to apologize to your children, and your mother, and go soak in the hot tub for a while. In theory.
DAY 2:
Our waiter killed a cricket loudly and proudly in the booth next to ours by smashing it with his order pad.
THE END

Holy crap. I'm not having kids. Or driving across the country with them. You're amazing. Good luck with your travels!
Okay? The waiter? eeewww!!
Having traveled many a time across this country with three (count 'em!) children in the car, by myself I can only say...You're doing great!!!
Memories in the making, that is for sure.
P.S. Benedryl makes 1.5 year olds high, not sleepy.
If you are stopping places where waiters are doing THAT, it is time to raise our fine-dining standards a bit.
