Headed South Soon

What gives me more

anxiety

than being

alone

in a car

with a 

toddler

for a 

10 and a half

hour drive?

Leaving

him

behind.

My dad and Braden playing "Eat those toes!"

This weekend I'll be headed south to help my mom and dad for a week or so. 

My dad just had surgery after recently being diagnosed with cancer. 

His prognosis is good but it's going to be a long recovery process. 

(So, if anyone has been wondering about

my faultering weight loss attempts

and how come I can't seem to

 finsish that darn cookbook,

you might be able to see

the connection here.) 

I'm scouring the Internet for ideas on keeping

Braden entertained while I drive alone with him. 

I'll post the best activities I come across tomorrow.

(Hailey has school so she gets to stay home with dad for the week. 

She also has a rabbit expecting bunnies by the time I get back!)

UPDATE: Not headed south afterall.
