Am I crazy?

I'm leaving Thursday evening to go to a family wedding in Ohio...Driving 5 hours Thursday night...8 hours Friday.  Family party Friday night.  Saturday wedding and reception....leaving after hte reception to drive 2-3 hours back home (like from 11:00-1:00) then driving the last 10 hours on Sunday...

With the girls.

And me.

Am I crazy?  To do all this driving for a wedding?  Oh, and my 96 year old grandma who's health is failing will be there.....

    It will be a total PITA, but worth it. Especially if it is the last time you get to spend with Grandma.

    That's pretty intense, but the girls are older, so it' not like having screaming toddlers. If it were me though, I might try to squeeze in taking Monday off too just so it wouldn't be so intense. At least it would give yourself a chance to get some sleep on Saturday night before starting the drive home.

    I would do it without thinking twice.  I think the ride home will probably get a little long for all of you, but nothing you can't handle.  Have fun!

    Yes you're crazy!  We drove 12 hrs total to a wedding with my 3.5 yr olds and DH.  We drove 8 hr overnight and 4 hrs the next day.  On the way home we broke it up into two 6 hr days.  I couldn't have done it alone with the DVDs, books, etc.  GL!

    It's doable, probably tough but like the pps said its worth it.  And your girls are old so it might not be soo bad.

    we have a dvd player.  I'm getting a few activity books for the girls.  And if push comes to shove, I don't have to work on Monday and can drive home Monday too.  My dad is giving me his hotel points for hotel rooms (wooo hooo!). And there is a chance my parents are riding with me so I'll have "help". 

    DH is staying home with Mitch...I feel a little bad for not bringing him, but for as short as its going to be, I don't think I can handle him coming with....he's the high maintenence one....the girls will be content for hours with teh DVD's.

    It won't be easy, but I'd do it. ?Especially if your parents ride with you. ?But even without them, your girls are old enough that they should be alright.
