Life is an adventure

We left MN around 8am and drove non-stop (except for lunch at the Norsk Nook in Osseo, WI) and made Chicago slightly after 7pm. The last 50 miles was almost literally stop and go traffic. Thankfully P drove that part and I mostly listened to Alice Sebold "The Almost Moon" I think I'm half way through. It probably wasn't the best choice for today's drive, a little too dark.

2 years ago during the summer, the four of us P, her son R(yeah the one that's gone) my son and me went to Wisconsin Dells. Driving by there was really hard for me, thankfully P and A were sleeping so they didn't see me bawling. I had to stop crying because the roads weren't that great and I had some precious cargo.

I did think a lot about cluelessinchi  as we've been here so far....

So the plan is that we fly out to Tacoma tomorrow night, but we're flying standby that makes me a little nervous...as I like to plan things ahead. I'd also really like to know how we're all going to be getting to University Place from the airport. I'm leaving it up to the universe. I'd like to hope this will work out but who knows.

Talked to A today, I came directly from one job from the other due to traffic..wasn't going to make it home in time for a swing by. Confirmed that he mowed the lawn like I asked and asked him if he wanted me to pick him up anything when I came home...he did want me to bring him quiznos. Ended the call by saying "I Love You" and he said it back. Let's hope that this adolescent stuff goes as quickly and as painlessly as possible!

Also decided to not pursue the money owed to me by my ex husband, I think right now it would only really negatively affect A. I trust that what comes around will go around. Also turns out that gradeschool knows the guy who owns the towing company where his vehicle (that was hit and totaled by an uninsured motorist) and he abandoned...now that gradeschool knows it, he will pass that info to his friend who will go after him for tow charges (and perhaps storage fees for at least a couple of years I think). I didn't realize he knew the owner, nor did I tell him to do that...he's doing that by his own choice, I'm just not telling him that he shouldn't.
