Hola from Saint Augustine, Florida!

It's been a long day so I will keep today's post short too.

Today was a much more difficult day. For starters, it rained pretty hard, on and off, all day. An 18 wheeler blew and shredded a tire, and no matter how much I swerved to avoid it, the Mama Mobile still got hit head on by a huge chunk of flying rubber and steel. I think it is still under my car. And Kerri decided to stop to pee in the toilet every half hour. But then she had an accident and now her car seat is soaking wet. We saw several bad car accidents. And a beautiful yellow butterfly got tangled up in my windshield wipers and died.

Then Kerri started asking all the hard questions. About why she was abandoned. She wanted to know why her family did not leave a note or name her. Since my daughter is so logical and smart, the questions got more philosophical and tougher to answer. And the conversation ended with a promise that I would show her when she is ten years old exactly how babies are made and carried, and how they are birthed. I have a migraine now.

We arrived at our hotel around 9ish PM. Five minutes after checking in, the manager knocked on the door to advise that the people below our room called several times to complain we were stomping loudly on the floor. It was Kerri, all 40 pounds of her. So I told Kerri to jump on the bed instead.

We ordered pizza, and I am waiting for the vertigo to stop. And counting my blessings that we are here safe, and that my brilliant daughter is finally asleep. Ah, peace and quiet!

Tomorrow we meet Tia and then we are headed to my parents' home. I miss hubby, Pookie and my bed.

Life with Kerri keeps me going.
