Common Mom

We’re on the move again! All kinds of excitement on Friday as we headed out for a weekend of fun with my mom, step-dad, brother, and his wife. Hubby picked the kids up from school a bit early and I bolted from work a bit early and we were on the road by 2:00 p.m. for our 8 hour drive. We ran in to some awful weather on the way!

We were lucky - seemed like we were just ahead of the storms, though. We stopped at a rest stop and heard the sirens from a nearby town going off. The firetrucks and police cars were sitting on the overpass spotting the storms! Being the smart midwesterners we are, we got back on the Interstate We never hit anything awful, but the ENTIRE 6 1/2 remaining hours of our drive we could SEE the awful storm to our west and got to listen to all the tornado warnings and watches and flood watches on the radio, for counties right next to ours. When we looked out our rearview mirror, all we could see was that ominous black sky. Freaky! But we made it without incident and really without running in to any weather ourselves.

This milestone also happened on the way - yeah . . . I’m a freak We need to save money so we can sell this car before the miles get too high!

Day 2 recap, coming up!
