valancystirlingWe're in Kentucky. I really thought we'd get to within a couple hours of here last night, then get up early and drive the rest. We stopped several times, but ended up being on the road a solid 12 hours. Ugh. It wasn't bad though, actually, and the kids did great. I finished the sleeve and half the body of Topie's sweater, so that's cool. I think the trip was about 500 miles. So we could never find a wireless signal any of the times we stopped, and I hadn't thought to get everything I needed off the internet because I was so sure I'd have no problem getting online on the way. So that means I never was in touch with Ashley, never got a hold of the realtor to tell her we were leaving etc., didn't do a lot of useful things. It was so frustrating. I think we might be the only people in our generation who can't just get online wherever under any circumstances. UHLIKJALKMSD:ODJSF
So we're here. Jake is in the shower. We got a shitty night's sleep because this place is total crap. It's loud, kind of dirty/scary, and just ick. I got the bed with the kids, Jake slept on the floor. So i was terrified all night that one of them would fall off the bed, so I was half awake most of the night. Then just after we'd fallen asleep, I woke up hearing someone trying to get our door open. Fun fun. Apparently they'd been told the wrong room number. But we couldn't fall asleep after that for quite a while. Then every time I fell asleep, the kids would move and I'd freak out and WHY would anyone cosleeping ever have a high bed? This made me remember why we sleep on the floor at home. Both kids roll all over the place in their sleep. Just too scary.
So we'll see what today brings. Jake's tour of the Toyota factory should be interesting, but should also leave us without transportation or contact with him for much of the day.
