Like any adventure being a Mom is chalk full of moments that can take my breath away. Sometimes it's because I'm avoiding the aroma of stinky feet or a dirty diaper, other times it's a slice of amazing only kids can bring that leaves me staring in awe. My rollercoaster life raising 6, soon to be 7 kids can be chaotic at times, but embracing the insanity is half the fun.

Half Way There

We’re resting safe and sound in Knoxville now. Kids were overall pretty good during the ride. Including stops i think it took us about 8 hours to get here. Which isn’t bad considering a lunch stop and two bathroom stops including gassing up.

The hotel is too cute, never would have thought to decorate with green, orange, and blue but it is cute. I am exhausted but can’t sleep yet. Ofcourse the kids are fighting sleep. Tummies are full of Pizza hut, they should be tired from swimming in the hotel pool. So hopefully soon they’ll be off to dreamland. Mommy needs some quiet time!! Greenlee is passed out for the time being. she was amazingly good during the drive.

I am driving an HHR. Very interesting. Like a little mini SUV. Ofcourse it’s still small enough that everyone in anything bigger thinks they need to cut me off!! Grrr.

So anyway, tomorrow we’ll be up eat breakfast and then hit the road again until we reach Myrtle Beach. Hopefully all goes as well as it did today!!!
