jus for laughs =) "A day in the life of a border crossin' mother"

Thought some of you mothers might get a kick out of this. This is one of my days of crossing the border:

Me and my five yr old lft around 12:45 to cross over to San Diego and. head up to LA. Now this is where the fun starts my baby cries the whole way to the border cause he doesn't want to go with me, then we are in line for about a hr or so and the husband calls me and proceeds to tell me that my atm card is in his pants pocket. I am now down to a quarter tank of gas with no money and I have got to make it to Los Angeles. So we have to turn off the a/c in the car and roll down the windows in 100+ degree weather. The line wasn't that long but it still took almost took 2 hrs to get across. We finally made it and we get to the San Diego border patrol check point and out of all days and time they decide to be open. So we are now sitting in more traffic and my baby decides he has to go peepee. Well to say the least "we didn't make it" ;-( we finally got to a rest stop and I took him in the bathroom and took off his clothes and wash him up, I look in our overnight bag and I forgot underware. So my baby is now walking around with shorts that are a lil too big and NO underware.

Needless to say we made it ok ;-) we had no money, no a/c, no underwear but we had a lotta laughs and good music with the wind blowing trough our hair weather we liked it or not!

  1. Had a similar experience with Dylan when he was about 3 but my thermostat was out in my car but I didnt know it. I just knew that my radiator was overheating and we had to drive a mile at time and stop to let the car cool down. Yes it was a nightmare but we had each other.
