Thanks to those of you who suggested the dvd player. DS couldn't see it very well because of where I had to put it, but listening to movies kept me awake the entire trip.
We did really well today - a 12 hour drive that ended up being 14.5 with all the stops we made. DS did really well, except for a few times when he was ready to stop before I was: "Mommy isn't stopping this car until we cross the state line, so eat your crackers and be happy!" Yeah...I'm compassionate. (Nothing was actually wrong - he was just read for a break twenty minutes too soon.) He paid me back by pooping right before we got back into the car, so I had to take him BACK to the bathroom.
Tomorrow is our "short" drive, which will bring us to our new home...and then the house-hunt begins.
I apologize for my random post without commenting on any others, but hopefully I can catch up on everyone else's life tomorrow when we're settled.
Re: another roadtip post
So you took your LO on a 14.5 hour road trip on your own - AND YOU SURVIVED?! You are my new hero!
I hope your last day on the road goes smoothly, and that you guys find a house SOON!
Wow, the most we've done was 10 and that was with me in the backseat trying to entertain DD.
I bet you're so anxious to stop driving and start the house-hunt. Good luck with it all!
