We traveled quickly to TX, carpooled with my dad to make the trip 1 day instead of 2. Shared driving. We had an interesting encounter with a Walmart in Arkansas, let's just say there was blood in the bathroom and I just hovered and went so I wouldn't wet myself. Back on the road through country with closed gas stations after midnight. Wonderful time until......we nailed a deer, I think it was a buck- seriously. Who needs deer season right? Ok. No cell signal, heavy fog, smashed up windshield. 12 miles to nearest town. 12 miles took 30 minutes.
So we're stuck in Henderson, TX. With a beloved family member dying 200 miles away and we need to be there. More importantly my dad needs to be there. We're going to try and sleep at this nice hotel, get a rental, find a State Farm Agent, and just make it work. I might just be in Texas for longer than the week I planned. Maybe all my online TX unschooler friends can come visit me? LOL. Goodnight and Godspeed.

See you Later Gator, Birthday part 2
Birthday surprise. We told her the garage door was broken and she'd have to help Dearest fix it.She'd been helping him all week, so she thought it was pretty normal.
And.....open.
Glee!
Of course then I told her it was for her to do pig chores. AND SHE BELIEVED ME! Oh no. I had to quickly run over and tell her I was joking. I hated when my family used to tease me like that, I feel so bad. I am a bad mommy.
But then she got over that, accepted my apology and played! She's going to test drive it today since the batter had to charge for 18 hours. Whew. Yesterday we got home late and the coyotes spooked her a little. So today my little swamp elf gets to take off in her Gator. Nana and Pawpaw are totally awesome. Thanks!

Happy Birthday Lil'Bug- part 1
My beautiful girl. I can't believe that 5 years ago Lil'Bug made me a mama. It was love at first tingle, but this girl, she took her first breath and took mine away. She's amazing. I am often left without words at how much a small bundle of joy could change our lives so very much. I can't believe how short this five year journey has been and how far we've come. Dreams do come true. She makes me believe in myself and in the world again. I love you Lil'Bug.
