We're Back........ in Atlanta!

While preparing for our trip to Atlanta last night, my back was bothering me and I decided to take some ibuprofen - but the idiot I am - I took Excedrin migraine. By doing this I could not go to sleep. After making sure everything was ready for our trip, I tried to just lie down and hope that sleep would come. The last time I looked at the clock it was 5:45 a.m. on Wednesday. And to make matters worse I woke up at around 7:15 a.m. NOOOOO sleep to amount to anything.

Well, after placing the suitcases into the car, I had to chase down Tanner who was riding his motorcycle down the driveway over and over. Too much activity before 8:00 a.m. especially with an ill Nanny!

We were finally on our way after pit stops at the bank and Hardees for breakfast. Joyce called and she had a few errand to run, but said that she would leave her front door unlocked. Well, she had already returned before we made it there.

Loaded the car again and we headed off, but oh yeah, another pit stop for Joyce's breakfast at Hardees. Now we're ready to go at around 9:00 a.m. Fortunately, Tanner was very good on the drive, after we passed Commerce, I put in the Wizard of Oz and he was in DVD heaven.

The trees were beautiful along the interstate, however, Joyce and I could not figure out what type they were. They were so many pinkish-purple flowering trees. Even after stopping on the side of the interstate so Joyce could break off a branch, we still had no idea.

After stopping by Target, we arrived at Traci's around 1:00 p.m. Tanner was so excited to see Ethan when he arrived home around 3:00 p.m. Joyce took the boys outside to play - they had a ball, especially when I shook Traci's tree to let the blooms fall. Ethan and Tanner were running around underneath the tree yelling - "It's snowing!"

We had a great supper of meat loaf, mashed potatoes, squash and rolls. For dessert, we had pound cake with strawberries and whip cream - yum, yum! Eat your heart out Ashlee!

After the boys' splash-a-thon in the tub, they were exhausted and it took no time to get them asleep, but it was still around 9-9:30 p.m. I was exhausted too, but managed to stay up and see who was voted off American Idol.

I can say that last night was the best sleep that I have had in a long time. I didn't even wake up for a bathroom break - that is a miracle in itself.

Well, check in later and I'll trip to update on Thursday's activities.

Tootles!
