the good, bad and ugly

A Harley ride to a family reunion will be FUNNER!   Have a great time.

I hear ya about the journey Sue.  Sent you a message.

Congrats for doing your best in a difficult situation. As far as the children's pants, way to go!!! I bet, you never dreamed that you would fit into children's sizes. Try size 14 in Girl's jeans at Target. You might be surprised.

I wonder, if you could have brought a cooler, if that would have helped anything? Either using ice or cold packs? That hot weather sounds pretty miserable.

Take Care,

Gail

I'll have to see about those jeans.  I was certainly surprised but I have also been angry when I get 6P and they have to be hemed.  Maybe the kids won't need hemming.

I actually did have a little cooler.  I just ran out of water in it both days and there wasn't anywhere on the grounds to buy water or fill up used bottles.  Next time I will bring gallons to refill the bottles.  I bought ice for the trip home just didn't have any the middle day.  That was when I ran out of water and the protein bars melted.  Yuck.

The jeans were 9.99 and didn't need to be hemmed.

I'm glad everything worked out in the end, and you can get back to your schedule.  I must admit the children's pants are pretty impressive (I'll never get there!)

I also appreciate your post on planning for trips.  I've taken a few trips during my pre-op diet, and none have gone according to my plan.  I'm still working on it - as preparation for travel post surgery. 

Enjoy your peace and quiet again!

Never say never.  I certainly never thought I would be this small.  At 5'7", you may have high water pants but you will probably be this small.

I'm glad you made it home safely!  Wow about the children's sized pants! That must feel soooo good!!!! Sound like you had a hot, busy, fun time!
