Well, I've taken off for Texas and had such a great first day of traveling. Because of the GPS in my car I decided to play it loose this time and see how far I could get...though I did settle on a goal eventually of farther than I usually go and I made my goal in record time and the kids were good for the most part. I mean, I had a couple of times I screamed at the older two for fighting but overall a good day making great time. Even the hotel went great because we are platinum members of Best Western I got a free room upgrade and the front desk and other patrons had been very nice, polite and accomadating in my limited interaction with them. And THEN the front desk called to say they had some complaints about "screaming children". We'd only been at the hotel like an hour...from like 630-730 and the kids were getting in bed when they called. What I'm trying to say is...yeah maybe my kids after a long, hard day in the car let off a little steam before retiring at a decent time. I mean it's not like they were screaming for hours or even in the middle of the night. What kind of a-hole complains about a couple of loud noises? It just put a damper on a great day...so thanks to whoever the a-hole was for crappin' up my day! :(
