Yes, adventures are spoken of frequently, so let me take you through a tour of one. Just remember no adventure is ever the same...
So last night was movie night. Missy was coming down and the 5 of us were gonna watch Old Dogs. Well Missy says she wants to go see something pretty and wanted to know if we wanted to come. Ok the town we live in is horribly ugly. Like the armpit of York County. So all we needed to hear was “pretty” and we were like dogs that just heard the word “car”.
Never before had we attempted a “family” adventure. Usually it's me and Missy, Me, Missy and Zak or Me Missy and Corey. Or Me Missy and Lily...need I go on? Anyway this didn't seem like an issue, until we reached the car. Zak had immediately called shotgun because he is intelligent and thought ahead. Corey and I however were still so excited about seeing something “pretty” that we didn't even think about how we were going to get there. Like Miles O'Brien was just gonna beam us there or something equally as awesome. **If you don't get that reference see the link at the bottom. No seriously go look. He is super cool. His wife is more annoying than a cankerous sore. Not that I'd know cuz I've never had one.
So anyway as we approach Missy's vehicle Corey and I realize “Oh crap! We have to sit in the back with Lily. Our minds swirl as we try to figure out a seating arrangement where neither of us have to sit beside Lily. It's impossible. So we decide that we will put her in the middle so that both of us have to suffer equally.
Ok I know that you guys are thinking. “OMG what a horrible mom she is!! Let's call Children's Services” No! Stop!! I love my daughter. She is amazing and I wouldn't trade her for a super size box of Oreos or anything Coach! Both Corey and I are claustrophobic and have anxiety and Lily just cannot sit, stand or sleep still. So we leave the house and head towards “pretty”. However we are wondering how far “pretty” will be because we are now in an Anxious Claustrophobic Hell!!
Luckily for us we need to stop at Sheetz. Corey and I were out of the car before we were fully in the spot. I wanted to run around like a mad person because somehow Lily had transferred her hyperness to me like 2 Iphone'rs (?wtf?) trading numbers via bump. Ahhhhhh!!!!!
Here is a pic of Corey staying as far away from the car as possible, but still hiding from the wind. He really just wanted to forget about pretty and walk home at this point.
So we get back in the car before we get arrested for loitering and head on towards “pretty”. About 5 minutes into the ride I decide that I was bored and we needed to liven things up a bit. Hmmm...what would be fun? Omg!! I blurt out “Valley Forge” at the top of my lungs!! “Ha ha let's play” we all laugh and say. “This shall be epic, har har” So we bundle up and down the windows go.
5 min later we are all freezing our butts off, driving through Wyndam Hills w/our windows down. Now under normal circumstances I would have felt out of place in this highly upscale neighborhood. It really feels like you're in a fairy tale. But riding around in a car full of people w/the windows down at the end of December just looks a little conspicuous. At this point I realize I have my bandana over my face and look like I am about to rob a stage coach. Yeah...
Anyway the rest is rather boring except for the fact that Corey lost Valley Forge and oh yeah...
WE SAW PRETTY!!! :) and I embarrassed myself in front of the former love of my life...but that wasn't the first time and that's a whole other story...
**For those of you who have no clue who Miles O'Brien is and actually for those of you who know who he is and would enjoy reading about him. http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Miles_O%27Brien
Oh and I've included a picture too. He is sorta handsome in a surly grandfather kind of way. And he's Irish so he deserves to be on here.
Hilarious!
