The Spy Who Shagged Me

Okay, so I was a little bit worried that my life was getting somewhat boring.  And hence the Bloggy  would snoozledeedoo.  But of course the universe has its own plans.  (sinister laughter).

So I am like hi diddle dee dee a boring life for me.  Ho hum what shall I do? Well, the holidays are upon us and that always livens things up a bit.  I buy a billion presents for everyone and get a bottle of nail polish in return.  This game sounds like fun!  But of course merrily we go, and who does not loooove the family road trip. I booked an online hotel which I almost never do, and the reason I chose the one I chose was beacause my wrist accidentally fell asleep on the "A" key or whatever.  Let's take one trip, and this has us on the road north to a couple of places.

First we stop at Grandma Patsy's.  Now.  When you stay at Grandma Patsy's, it would just be best if you could shellack everything in its place.  Moving anything is a dicey decision because this woman likes her things in their proper place.  So with a three year old, life gets kinda interesting, or in other words, mama is about to stroke out and often.

But it's cool (I think) all the kids get to see all the peeps in the places of all the things. So we drive further north, into... Massachusetts.  To visit Uncle Ron.

Now this could be a whole other story.  The drive alone.  The memories of my Christmas visits to MA as a tiny blonde bunny in the 70s.  But we'll let all that craziness settle as the car with five people hopped up on candy canes settle down into a sugar coma. We have the dad with directions.  The mom with the navigator's voice.  The jokes, staccato.  That burst of steam from funny to absolute rage.  Let's think about how to play it off.. as hey kids, no harm no foul I totally did not mean to punch the window. JK.  We have all been these tiny, four or five people shacked up in a tin can called the car.  Are we gonna make it?  Well of course.  That was always the plan.

How.  Much.   Longer.


Ouch.  Can you not be a little more innovative? We are almost there. Jesus.  So we saw Uncle Ron.  And we had sandwiches together.  And then we went to the hotel to rest, finally. Of course, all we need is a little rest.  No big deal, nothing to see here.  Obvs there is nothing to see here and of course we want to stay on the down low because life gets boring.

And don't forget:
