Pilot’s kenyan blend stinks! However the truck drivers I’ve met while the
kids act like they have lost their collective minds have been wonderful. They help with the juggling act that is purchasing coffee with a stir crazy baby.

On to Nashville!

Dear Man Texting in the tan Ford Taurus,
Please pick a lane and do not assume that I am willing to share mine.
Have a lovely day,

Frazzled Mom Who resisted the urge to use sign language in front of the kids

Those little magnetic strips on credit cards never seem important until they break. Thankfully I decided to top off the car before I left town. Unfortunately this involved a detour to Huger and back. Ivy, we’ll get there, I promise.

We’re off, teeth brushed, faces shining, we’re pulling out of the driveway! I’ll check in the next time I have wi-fi!

We’re all packed; the boys are still sleeping. We are heading out after breakfast. I have two quick stops before I can leave town. Apparently Piggly Wiggly doesn’t carry the little boxes of milk so Bi-Lo here we come.
My big goal of the day is to reach Nashville, TN. We’ll be spending the night with my friend Ivy. It’s typically a nine hour drive, but I’m not going to push things. We’re going to take the Atlanta route, it is a little faster. We’ll come home through Asheville.

I hear the little one stirring. I’ll check in soon.

*I feel the need to explain my “cup” of coffee. It is less like a mug and far more like a Venti. I however choose to not waste money on Starbucks** so it tastes a lot like Folgers.

I’m the number one page for ‘retarded basset hounds!”

In honor of that, here they are!

Sitemeter is a fun toy.

Dear Googler,

I know The Internet can seem like the answer to all of life’s queries, but do you think “Are there any good jobs in Moncks Corner?” will land you the position you deserve? May I suggest picking up a newspaper and looking in the classifieds? Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can even find them for free at Huddle House, that is if you don’t mind a little coffee or syrup.

I was listening to AM1250 this morning and heard Richard Todd mention Gregg Meyers was running something called “Proofwatch.”

Is this the same Proofwatch on SchoolMovement?

Just curious.

I voted around 10am. I feel safe in saying I was probably the only voter, of about one hundred and fifty people, under thirty. Including myself, there may have been ten voters under fifty and possibly forty under sixty-five.

The vast majority of people in the room were elderly. The demographics will likely change as people vote during lunch or after work.

This is just to be sure I’ll be able to blog while on the road.
