Ahhh, I leave for France today! I am eating some breakfast and about to hopefully go get my hair cut (the sides need to be buzzed—normally I do that at home, but I didn't bring my trimmer with because it seemed excessive). I'm so not prepared for this trip, but I'm trying to not worry about that—I have made no plan, done almost no research, bought no tickets, etc.

Sounds like an adventure, have fun!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Bon voyage, meara!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Enjoy, meara! Say hi to France for me, I miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, for years I always drove straight through. With 2 drivers it isn't bad. When I was younger I would drive straight through alone!

I am very impressed! But I am also not a driver and also from New England, so an hour and a half in the car seems like a lot to me.

Y'all, I hate to talk about sleep when I basically sleep OK, but I am so fucking tired! I've woken up between 4:30 and 5:30 every day this week (except Monday when I woke up at 3 because my mother's radio turned itself on and I had to go upstairs and turn it off), and it is killing me! I feel like the internet says I'm middle aged, so 6 or 7 hours is probably enough, but it is not enough!

I've had commutes nearly that long.

I agree that 24 hours is a long drive—I hate to do more than 3 really.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm feeling a little better today but also exhausted. I'm also feeling guilty because this is ltc's 2 week break between school ending and camp starting, and I wanted to take her out and do fun things. Instead we're spending the day watching TV, and then TCG is getting out early to take her to karate. I'm sick of always being sick, and not being the mom I want to be.

Random side note: would you ever send your children to a daycare called "Quickie Becky's"?! That name just does not inspire trust in me. But I'm not a parent. Still though...
