Calling All Cars

Five kids.

Five different venues.

Five different arrival times.

One night.

A military style logistics operation will now ensue.

If I make it to tomorrow, I intend to spend the day catching up with everybody whom I have abandoned all week. I may even post something longer than three lines.


In the meantime, wish me luck.

Sounds like you are needing the luck and so I am sending five carloads to you!

The First 40 Years--oh no, don't say that!!!

Suburbia said...

Hmmm, thanks for that ballon message, it really made my night!

Katney said...

No I disagree it goes on longer than that ~I speak from personal experience!!!!

Liz Harrell said...

Wow, hope everything went well.

Amanda said...

Wish I could help. If I weren't so far we could trade carpooling for babysitting. That would be fabulous. For me.

Good luck.

You can remind them of this when you are old and blue-haired and need one of them to drive you to the beauty shop. :-)

Miss you!

Get one of those signs put on the top of your car... 'M.U.G. TAXIS'

I use mine most days!

Sandi McBride said...

not sure whether to say have fun or keep your head down...but be warned, I've heard if the first forty years of parenthood doesn't kill you, the 2nd forty will!

After this you could get a top job in "Logistics" I reckon. Son is coming up 29, so I'll let you know in 11 years! M xx

Maggie May said...

Jackie there's an award waiting for you over at my place!

Mean Mom said...

The only way my 3 lads will go anywhere with me, now, is if they drive and I go with them in their car. This is acceptable to their peers, apparently. Suits me!

Anonymous said...

And when do you eat, I'm wondering?...

When the oldest learns to drive, it'll get easier. For about 5 minutes. Then you'll be wanting to hide the car keys.

And with the cost of your petrol....aaaggh!

Good luck, and good resting afterwards xx bella

Amrita said...

Carolyn said...

Hilarious... military-style logistics.

But it's that button that's scaring the snot out of me. Forty years? That's some sort of joke, right?
