We're off to see a man about a car

Tomorrow we're off to see a man about a car; a car that just happens to be located in Albequerque, New Mexico. We're flying out tomorrow afternoon and the plan is to drive Dan's new "shrine" back to California in time for me to make it to work on Monday. The bad news it is couldn't happen at a worse time, the end of the semester. The good news is that Dan and I finally get to have some "away alone" time, which we have had far too little of since the kids were born. Because of my admitted "uptightness" I never felt comfortable leaving my kids over night. I think since the kids were born we've only left them three times; twice for a weekend and once for an over night. I know that this probably hasn't been healthy for anyone, but my OCD tendencies just got the better of me. Dan's brother Fred has agreed to sleep over for the two nights that we are gone and they couldn't be in better hands. If you want me to get real, the kids are really old enough to spend the weekend on their own, afterall when I was Chelsea's age I was left on my own all the time. But it feels different when we're talking about my "babies." I plan on taking pictures on the road and hopefully I'll be able to post a few upon our return.
