It's totally OT to travel with kids- staying in someone else's home is always hard cos it's not baby proofed to fit the limits of your kids no matter how hard everyone tries. It's extra work and never down time for the mom cos there needs to be waaaay more constant supervision since it not your home/ stuff.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079756058366447255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-59618161542395470932007-11-28T16:31:00.000-08:002007-11-28T16:31:00.000-08:00I got thrown up ON by my baby namesake, and now I'...I got thrown up ON by my baby namesake, and now I've got her cold.

After awhile D and I just looked at each other with a "what the?" expression and laughed. <BR/><BR/>I am also glad Cubby is alive. Even if it is not for his lack of trying to off himself.

Just too many people. Crowds make me stressed.<BR/><BR/>I prefer peaceful holidays...otherwise it's not a holiday for my family. ;-)<BR/><BR/>GLAD Cubby is alive. Holy... how do you do it?

And I agree, with you. I think at a certain point people should start coming to see YOU for the holidays. Especially if you have any children under the age of 5! That should trump all holiday travel debates. Ah well.

We have had one perfect-storm-of-evil trip like that, a driving trip to Phoenix when my big boys were 2 and 6mos. It involved a funeral and a lot of diarrhea and me contemplating divorce (if only very briefly).<BR/><BR/>The good thing about trips like that is you can come home.<BR/><BR/>We were healthy on Thanksgiving and the kids had a nice little Lord of the Flies party in the backyard while the grownups ate a nice dinner. <BR/><BR/>Hope the next holiday is better for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14545496730057771946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-82338017457060122592007-11-27T07:51:00.000-08:002007-11-27T07:51:00.000-08:00No one was sick, but my brother in law's psychotic...No one was sick, but my brother in law's psychotic pregnant baby mamma chose this week to walk out on him, with no explanation, just the car she asked him to buy her a month before. But she "feels kinda bad about the car." He was on a plane from NY to CO a few hours later. Lots of bitching and sullenness for this family on Thanksgiving! But at least we didn't have to fly with the baby bird. For that, I am thankful as all heck.<BR/><BR/>DanielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-30793521743379130122007-11-27T07:10:00.000-08:002007-11-27T07:10:00.000-08:00If it is any consolation, your post has made my da...If it is any consolation, your post has made my day. <BR/><BR/>I had a house full of brothers and sisiters in law, nieces and nephews, but believe it or not, no one got sick.

He thought he had kidney stones. It was something else equally as painful but he was back in time for us to discover that the oven wasn't working. We all just loaded up our plates and warmed them through in the microwave. Luckily, my mom had already prepared everything the day before so everything was cooked through that needed to be. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you survived (even if just barely!).Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12327187018339417265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-4119380913266915222007-11-27T00:28:00.000-08:002007-11-27T00:28:00.000-08:00Not one of us was sick.
