Denial

I came to the realization that I am in denial most of the time. For whatever reason I seem to just not get that things are really going to happen regardless of what I do. It's like when you are a kid and you cover your eyes and think no one can see you... I avoid thinking about or preparing for the big changes that are occurring in my life and then when they actually take place I am thrown for a loop. Am I alone in this? Is it normal? One week left with my hubby and I am realizing that time is too short. The kids are all out of whack with losing their home, their toys and now their dad. On top of that... we brought a new baby home and mommy isn't back to herself again yet. Big changes, and they are handling it so great considering. I am so proud of them.

Our trip to Connecticut was great, soooo much better than I thought it would be. I mean... seriously, the thought of packing 4 kids under 4 up to bring them on a 15 hour car ride was less than appealing. We split the trip up perfectly though and they all did great. Especially Brennan, we fed and changed him and literally every time we stopped somewhere is the only time he would fuss. So we fed and changed him again and he was out and a perfect little angel until the next stop. The only time he had any sort of issue was when we stopped in North Carolina for some Cook Out and realized we had a flat tire. The very nice teenaged girl at the window told us a great place to go and we stopped at the gas station to fill the tire up the best we could. We made it to the garage and the guy plugged the tire and filled it for $7 in about 10 minutes. The piece of metal that was in the tire ended up being a Ford key. lol! Brennan had to wait the extra 10 minutes or so but did great with the binky. We stopped Monday night at Quantico and then made it to Bob and Dee's for Tuesday night. Adrian loved playing with Alex and we all really enjoyed the visit. Wed. we had breakfast with Bob and Dee and then left for Andy's grandparents. They let us intrude and visit for about 2 hours ( and the kids made a giant mess with the cookies Babcie gave them :)) and Janet, Danny and Allison were there too, so we got to visit with them as well. All in all a great day.

It only took us 2 1/2 hours to get from Jersey City to my parents which kind of shocked us considering we left at 3pm. We really lucked out in the traffic department. Adrian had worn himself out playing with first Alex and then Danny, so he got quite the cousin fill earlier in the day and then when we got to mom and dad's Emmy was waiting for him too. He is sleeping at Emmy's house tonight and couldn't be happier. So cute.

Ok enough rambling from me for now... I am tired and want to get some sleep before Brennan wakes up or the twins whichever happens first. lol! Thanks for reading. ;)
