A various assortment of things that happened during a very quick trip from Virginia to Toledo, Ohio (I’d like to give a nice shout-out to Perrysville–thanks for the 0 % humidity–YOU ROCK) and then back again:
1) I turned 31. Yeah, this year was harder because it is really starting to sink in that I’m never going to be in my 20’s again and I am one year closer to 40.
2) I had to leave Owen overnight (Thank you Grandma Jeannie!) for the first time ever. 8 hour car trip + bored child who can melt paint off of walls with his howls when he wants out of the seat = I’m not that brave.
3) Listening to Canadian Public Radio. It’s educational, eh?
4) Weather that wasn’t so hot that it made me feel like my skin was trying to melt off.
5) Paying entirely too much in tolls for roads that weren’t that great. Where are all those funds REALLY going Ohio Turnpike?
6) Realizing that my transformation to Mom was complete when someone walked in on me while I was sitting on the pot and it didn’t really phase me. Hey, I was just grateful that the woman who walked in didn’t try to either stand between my knees the whole time I was taking care of business or trying to unroll the toilet paper. Having a 1 year old as your constant bathroom buddy will do that to you.
