We’re leaving for Chicago for John’s mother’s side of the family to visit for the weekend. Did that sentence even make sense? I don’t know. It’s 2 a.m. and as per usual when we’re going on a trip I’m doing a deep clean in the house because I can’t sleep so I felt the need to reorganize the bathroom and find cute things to separate lotions from sprays etc. etc.

First thing in the morning John, his mother, and Dean are going to go get some wood to finish Dean’s bed which we’re pretty much rebuilding the underneath, it used to be Johns bed as a kid. Dean says he does not want a race car bed anymore, he wants a big boy bed. When he saw the frame and box spring he told me “This bed works”. He doesn’t at all have a mind of his own, nope nope.

We’re saying we’re leaving at 3, but we’re really shooting for noon, it all depends on my father in law’s work and when he gets things done or if he decides to do some of it in the car on the way.

We’ll be staying with John’s aunt Steph as we usually do, I think we might go see a cousins basketball game – not sure.

I’m just hoping Dean handles this one better than he did last road trip back and forth from there.

I should try to sleep, I’ll take the netbook with me and write a bit while I’m gone.

Have a great weekend, internet!
