Today, I had one of those days where everything just seemed to be wrong. My husband was in a bad mood, which put me in a bad mood, which made every thing my kids did seem even more annoying. Kaitlyn decided that she only wanted her Daddy, who was trying to help Nathan paint and decorate his Pinewood Derby car (a small wood model car used in Cub Scouts), and when he shooed her out of the kitchen, she lost her little baby mind. She started making those shrieking noises that pierce my head and tighten my neck and shoulder muscles until I can hardly think straight. It got to the point where I actually said to my husband, “do you mind if I get in the car and just keep driving until I hit the border, and then I’ll turn around and come home?”
“Which border?”, he asked. “How long would it take to get to Mexico?”, was my reply. It was that bad of a day.
And hey, if I do decide to chuck it all and just drive to Mexico, I’ve already picked a Rocky Point vacation as the perfect getaway. Look at this lovely one bedroom, one bathroom beach house right on the Sea of Cortez, with a queen size bed, central air, satellite dish, and a view of the ocean. No one fighting over whose turn it is to play a video game, no battling over homework or bedtime, just big pitchers of frozen margaritas and the sound of crashing waves. It sounds so wonderful I could CRY!
I swear, the next time I have a day like I did today, I’m grabbing my bathing suit and blender and calling Oceano Rentals. From the car.

Oh, Elizabeth, I’m so sorry! I KNOW how those days go!
Well if I tried to drive to the next country I would not really get past the ocean thing. Makes it hard. BUT, today I contemplated borrowing a plane and doing the same thing as my husband has a severe case of the crankies today. At least I know I’m not alone now!
Give me a call when you’re on your way, I’ll meet you there. I don’t hog the bed, either.
I’m so sorry you had a bad day. What do you say we get together this week? I’ll e-mail you!
Vamanos, hermana! I will provide translation services in exchange for housing! “Dos margaritas, por favor.” Stuff like that.
Are you on your way? I’ll have the margaritas ready and waiting!!
We all have had days, Elizabeth; that vacation & car seem so tempting at times!
I once drove to Canada for fun, just to say we drove across the border. We went to a Casino. When we came back we got the inquisition as to why we had been there SUCH a short time.
I think the days of just making a run for fun are over since you need a passport and your first born now to get through the border guards.
