When he said Worst.Trip.Ever.

sierciahe was, if possible, downplaying the immensely crappy nature of our trip to New York this week.
Between work stress, a significant lack of sleep, a sick and cranky Widget, in-laws that I find quite exhausting (despite the fact that they are nice people, really) even under the best of circumstances, and the fact that Wiley and I were feeding off of each other in terms of our frustration, worry and anger, we ended up with a very big mess.
I've already detailed the trip for friends, I simply don't have the energy to do it here again. If I ever make this trip again, we're either flying or breaking up the driving over two days, since Widget does not seem willing to sleep the whole way in her seat like she did last time. I don't care if it costs more or takes more time; I'm not going to do the sleep deprivation adventure again when there's a baby to take care of at both ends of the trip. I just can't, and I don't want to do that to Widget again either. I understand Wiley wanting to see his grandmother, but not if it means having another weekend like this one. Nope. Not going to do it.
And, of course, I return home to a HUGE pile of work, a pissed off boss and all other possible manner of work mess.
If one of the things putting pressure on me doesn't break soon, I am simply going to snap in two, I've completely lost any ability to see a way of avoiding this.

prunesnprisms's trip to Charleston. I love community cookbooks. And, well, Moravian Spice Cookies are just to die for.
