we’re backkkkkkkk!!

I can honestly say, a road-trip with my friend Whtetigr is NOT boring :rofl
We started out with her driving, me fighting the radio, and her hooting every time we entered a new county. I finally gave in and got a little sleep to get ready for my shift.
woke up not to long after we left the state of FL…we stopped and got something to eat and I took over driving…not a smart move on my part since right before entering Mobile there is a tunnel…which I did NOT want to drive through this trip…but tempted fate once again and managed it.
So…driving through Mobile AL…looking for a gas station…Whtetigr is changing clothes because it’s getting warmer, and gets this wild idea to drive through town with her shirt off to see how people will react…and was rather upset when they didn’t…:lol people are just not very observant…even when you stop to get gas they don’t care what you’re not wearing at that hour of the morning :wink
so we’re driving along…out in the middle of NOWHERE, and we pass a closed weigh station, and this cute little dog standing there looking pitiful (in the rain :sad), I looked at her, she looked at me…I drove on, she said “T, he’s gonna die out there”
turned the van around and went back…(can we say, SUCKER!)…she got out and the dog came right to her, it was a she…which we think had gotten dumped, you could tell where she had been wearing a collar for some time, and from the looks of it I’d bet that it had been removed and not gotten off by her. She rides very well though, and we figure it was a truckers dog until they got tired of caring for her. :walk_sad
so now we’re picking up hitchhikers, my mother warned me about such things…:lol
so at this point, Whtetigr goes to sleep, how she managed with the dog on her I have no clue, but she crashed for about 6 hours :sleeping woke up asking “where the hell are we?” we had made it to Shreveport, LA, right before the TX border :biggrin
we drive through TX to OK, where she got to see there really is a small town America alive and well out there in East TX.

We get to OK, and go to pick up the kids…they come running out the door and try to knock me down :biglaugha:biglaugha:biglaugha and we go in to see ‘him’
I introduce everyone, ask where the kids stuff is, and he could not help us get out of there fast enough :rofl it was perfect!! :biglaugha
all loaded up we head out again to Ft. Worth and my friend Jets house, at which I almost get tackled again by her (my) daughter :biggrin
we hang out, feed the kids, feed ourselves, call everyone and their uncle (oh wait, that was my uncle) and let them know we made it and are alive and well, and very tired…find places for everyone to sleep that night and pass out :snore
we get up the next morning and spend a lazy day just hanging out, kids playing games, adults playing games :flames and just chillin…
Had an AWESOME dinner, my favorite potatoes, green beans, homemade bread, steak and mushrooms, plus this wonderful awesome cake :chtounge that I told Whtetigr was better than sex…she didn’t believe me…she does now :lol
my sis made it over there and we get ready to head out…my buddy rode with her (due to her car having an a/c that worked I think :lol) my kids crashed before we hit the highway and the adults (I use that term loosely) had all kinds of fun at every stop we made…expecially after Whtetigr bought her cowboy hat and started wearing her souvenir from Jet as a hat-band :rofl
so we drove…and drove…and drove…anyone who’s ever traveled with kids knows what I’m talking about…I got to the point I just could not drive anymore due to falling asleep after we crossed into FL so my oldest went to ride with my sis and tigr drove for me for a few hours, then I was ok and my sis was exhausted, so she drove for her the rest of the way into Jax…my oldest (who was back in the van with me) said “It’s a really good thing she came with you, or we’d have had to wait for you and Aunt Andy to wake up and would have been really late getting in”
:1luvu he’s such a cute kid :1luvu
so we get back, drop Whtetigr’s draggin ass off at her house…and head home…call everyone to assure them we are STILL alive and well, order pizza, and knock the kids out for the night (where they slept for 12 hours :banana) and head to bed :snore
so, now you’re as caught up as I can get you :biggrin, and my kids are awake :happydance so I am going to close this post…
oh, and the dog (almost forgot) went home with Whtetigr (there is no way I could have taken her :sad) and will be going to a good home later…she is so cute and well trained I’m sure someone will snatch her up…but we’ll miss you ‘princess’ :kisses, I think you were the best behaved passenger we had! :rofl
