The O’Melia family bus arrived in Connecticut after a beautifully uneventful ride of only 90 minutes.
I relished it.
This is when I do my best rejuvenating…in a quiet car.
If a hot caffeinated beverage happens to be in my cup holder…even better.
Silent car rides are probably one of the number one reasons I’ve survived the last 14 years and lived to tell about it.
Now you know another fascinating fact about this mom of seven. 
For the first time ever I was conveniently gone at a hair appointment while the van was being loaded and house closed down for our week-long trip North.
I was a little nervous.
You know…about what I might come home to.
But it worked out soooo very nicely, this most unfortunate timing, that I might just plan it that way again in the future. 
Duff and the kids carried some serious cheese while I was being pampered.
Wow, that just sounds so wrong…and yet I find myself getting use to the idea.
