1. It was a gloriously beautiful day for a ferry crossing. The kiddies loved every minutes of it. What a fantabulous way to cut a 6 hour car trip into 2.5 hours. Yeah, water!!
2. Wonderful to get to Michigan in one piece--handy GPS in the rental car did assist.
3. Bed, bed, bed with the kiddies at a calm/quiet Uncle Fritz/Aunt Mary home.
Worst Parts of the Day-
1. Though the ferry ride went smoothly, it was not exactly relaxing with me chasing Liam to and fro for the entire time. He could not be enticed with movies on a laptop or the big screen when there was water and wind and sailboats and people right outside.
2. When we finally arrived at my grandma's nursing home, Scarlet was unabashedly pinching her nose due to her perceived smell "of pee". Liam loudly corrected her, "It doesn't smell like pee, Sis, it smells like garbage!" Scarlet then audibly gagged like a Valley Girl when we saw an old man hocking up some clearly stubborn phlegm while waiting in the dining area. It was a lot to take when I just wanted to sit and talk to my G-ma.
3. I pretty much lost my shit with Scarlet at 10:30pm when she would not listen/stop talking/follow instructions/zip the lip/settle down for sleepy time. I did scream (perhaps at top of lungs) and then she did listen. I didn't even feel bad about it. Note: I may flip out if I ask anyone anything 75 times in a row and do not get a response. I just may. (Also if I slept 2 hours the night prior, I really just may...my bad there, I know, but I'm not sure I feel bad about it even now. She's 5 1/2 and needs to learn that even this nice ol even-keeled mama can be pushed to the edge.)
