We're home...and this time the drive was nine hours--so much better than twelve. Bug was terrific! He asked to hear Bruce early on (and I don't nudge or pinch him to do it, I swear, it's all on his own!) and then if Donnie turned it off Bug promptly asked for "my Bruce" again. Way to go, little man! Donnie finally told him that Bruce needed to take a nap.
Anyway, after nine hours on the road, we pulled up to our house (well, not our house, we pulled into a little space near the school across the street so we could unload our many bags and toys, and lug them through traffic, around concrete barriers, an 18-inch drop and over 1/2 a newly-paved road with a four inch gap between the road and our driveway [WTF?] because our street is still under construction and now even if we wanted to use our driveway it's impossible--sigh).
But I digress...we arrive home and Bug cries and cries and screams because he has to get out of the car. Huh?

WHAT? That's so unfair to the rest of us who've dealt with quite the reverse!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're home safely!
We just got back from a trip requiring 12+ hours in the car -- we did it in 2 days because my kids just can't handle it -- nor can I - being in the car that long. Stopping by from SITS to say hi & welcome you to the SITSahood!
ReplyDeleteThat is typical isnt it? Crying after they are finally back home!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck? Where are you suppose to put your car while this goes on? I hope the weather stays nice for them to finish up quickly!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Is there any way he can call my kids and talk to them before our 8 hr road trip at the end of the month? Pretty please? Maybe they just need to listen to Bruce....
ReplyDeleteOnly a child would do this!
ReplyDeleteI came by to welcome you to SITS! We're happy to have you with us!
Kids are CRAZY! I swear, ya never know what they're gonna do.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if you move to Small Town you won't have the construction woes...?
:)
I think I would have left the car loaded until the construction was done and I could have unpacked in a civilized manner.
ReplyDeleteAhh, re-entry...
Manic Mommy--construction won't be completed until late September IF it's on schedule. By then it will be 13 months strong. We haven't used our driveway since June.
ReplyDeleteOh! Poor kid! Just when he's used to the car!... :) They can be kind of nuts sometimes... He was probably really enjoying the time together tho, wasn't he?
ReplyDeleteha that's funny!
ReplyDeletei hope you get to use your driveway soon!
I glad you are home, and had to laugh reading about your crossing the street with your loads of stuff. You are laughing about it now, right? :)
ReplyDeleteI've got to catch up on your last posts. I am way way behind in my blog reading!
