We made it to and back from Milwaukee this weekend. I have to admit, I was quite nervous about driving there with only Becca as a potential navigator, but Kevin came to my rescue with his Garmin GPS thingy and the trip went fairly smooth. Of course, Brady slept the first couple hours of the trip…you know the part that we just stay on 61 and drive and drive without any traffic. Then once we got to the Madison area and had to start dealing with traffic and changing roads (after dark I should add), he decided he didn’t want to be in the carseat and he cried for almost an hour! I told Becca and Emma they were not allowed to talk because I had to concentrate on what I was doing and try to ignore Brady all at the same time. They did a pretty good job.
My control/trust issues came out in full force while I was supposed to be listening to the navigator lady – I was having a hard time believing that she wasn’t going to put me onto a road that was closed due to construction or a neighborhood that a woman alone with 3 kids shouldn’t be in! But now I trust her more, so next time Kevin has to come to my rescue (really it was Jen’s idea – Kevin’s just getting the credit!) I will trust her!!!
