Keeping it real

~keeping it real~

Yes, those are my white legs and yes, that's my child crawling on nasty concrete in just a t-shirt and diaper.

{I've never even let her wear a dress without bloomers before}

But desperate times call for desperate measures.

Let's just say things pretty much went downhill after my little post yesterday.

We broke down on the side of 95 somewhere in North Carolina and managed to spend over six hours at an abandoned BP-turned service station waiting to get it fixed.  Exit 102 in Micro.  The town name doesn't do it justice.  I think it was the only exit on all of I-95 with no gas stations or fast food.

They had no ac and the bathroom was out of order.

Poor BabyGirl lost her pants after her second poop and after several hours of strolling her around the parking lot and bouncing her in my arms I gave up and let her play.  I put a big blanket down with all of her toys and just laughed when she immediately crawled right off it onto the concrete.

What else could I do?

The workers were so sweet and sent the "office manager" (I use that term very very loosely) all the way to Raleigh to buy a part from the dealership for us because we were traveling with a baby.

So needless to say this is all I've got for you today and to be honest I might not have much for you tomorrow either.  

Lessons learned:  

1.Use self-tanner even when you think no one will see you.  You never know when your husband will snap a quick picture with his phone

2.Grab several outfits for your child before they lift your car on a jack

3. Always travel with snacks and bottled water
