I told you ladies about the whole plane ticket ordeal...BUT we can't afford it so Shawn and his family have it in his head that we're going to drive there to see them....uhhhhh no one talked to me about this until a few days ago? what? I am Dallas mom for crying out loud..

I refuse to put him in his car seat for 8 hours in the middle of freakin winter, we're supposed to be getting the snow from iowa, wisconsin, wherever, how do I warm his bottle, how do I keep it cool..and to top it all off we will have to drive the hatchback mustang OMG there is NO room in there, we will have a drag sooooooo much stuff out with us..why??

We were away a lot for christmas and he was beyond grouchy and when we finally got back into our normal routine yesterday he has been so much happier, he missed being home and I don't have the heart to take him away until tuesday...

I don't know what to do

We always road trip at night. It's so much easier on the children. Then when we geet there I hand em over and say "I am taking a nap. I just drove 12 hours all night to bring them to you, nw i get to sleep!"

family is important to me, so i'd go. 8 hours isn't even that long, he'd probably sleep most of the way.

His family treats me like dirt though so why waste 8 hours on them??

My car sucks in the snow and it's snowing so nope not going, they can come here.

He's being childish about it and tells me he is leaving me if I don't go so screw it, I don't even care.

Dallas barely sleeps anymore, even at night
