Florida By Way of Atlanta

Well, for those of you that care, I made it safely to Orlando. I was suppose to leave last night around 7:00, but due to problems beyond my control, we left around 9:30 or 10:00. Let me just say to anyone that has never made that trip, that is the longest most boring drive ever. We drove until about 1:30 this morning, then my son and my nephew both started screaming to get out of the car. We pulled over in some town I have never heard of, at some shady looking gas station to let them stretch their legs. As I am standing in this gas station, holding my nephew in one arm and my son at bay with the other, I felt like such white trash. The kids both coughed like they had some infectious disease, with "I haven't had enough sleep" bags under their eyes and their hair in some sort of "my mommy doesn't comb my hair...ever" thing going on. I'm sure by this time I looked just as raggedy and the way the people looked at us was if to say,"I can't believe they have those poor children out at this hour!" I was tempted to walk up to the cashier, plop a 40 on the counter and ask for a pack of "Ribbed for Her Pleasure" just for shits and giggles. I would never see these people again and I was too tired to give a shit anyway, but I refrained. So, we made a pee run and continued on our voyage. We(my sister-in-law and I )talked and laughed and tried to keep each other awake. All the while my eyes were rolling around in my head from exhaustion. I tried at one point to close my eyes and rest for a minute, but at this time a dumbass desided to pull out in front of us, causing her to slam on the brakes and causing my heart to jump up in my throat. That was the last time my eyes closed longer than a blink the rest of the way. Anyhoo, we got here about 7:00 this moring and I made it until about 1:00, then I curled up in my daddy's bed and passed the fuck out. So far, I have been to Wal-Mart, cause apparently I can't go anywhere without going to Wal-Mart, and managed to get a sunburn on one of my arms while sitting in my dad's backyard. Yep, ONE of my arms...and it's a farmer's tan too. So I have to subject myself to more sun just to catch the rest of my body up to the level of burn on the one arm. I just can't go back home and explain how I went to Florida and only managed to get sun on one arm. Well, that's my vacation so far. Long ass drive, trip to Wally World and already sunburned. Man, this is the life!
