Going home....

Since we live in Cedar City, we have to travel to West Jordan to see our families. Don't get me wrong, i love going up there and seeing our families, it's the process that i hate! Here are just a few things i dread about it:

1. Cleaning- I am the kind of person who HAS to have the floors mopped, carpet vacuumed and every inch of the house dusted before we leave. If not, it eats at me our whole trip. I hate doing it but its just something that, sadly, has to be done!

2. Laundry- As some of you know, we do not have a washer or dryer in our apartment (crappy i know!!!) so before we venture home, we have to lug loads and loads of laundry to the laundry mat. Then after all that, i have to fold everything and put it away. Worst part about being a girl!

3. Picking things to bring- I hate this process cause i tear my closet apart and throw the potential items on the floor. I never know what mood i am going to be in, how the weather will be or if i wanna be lazy or dressy.

4. Packing the darn clothes- after the long process of choosing what to bring, i now have to figure out how to shove it all in a suitcase which i have to share with chris. And if your a girl, you'll understand why we hate to share.

5. Packing Brynlee- Now that we have a baby, i have to pack me and her. Sadly to say, i go through the same process. I throw her clothes on the floor and try to decide what to bring. And what a process that is.

6. Loading our SMALL car- I have a mazda 3 and they are not the most spacious cars. I am practically kissing the dashboard whenever we are in it. So you can only imagine how packed our car is when we come home. We have our suitcase, pack n play, stroller, 2 bags and for this trip home, we have 2 huge bags of clothes we are bringing home. Not a good time!!

7. Thinking of what i brought hoping i didn't forget anything- This is the WORST because i always end up forgetting something important. Since my pregnancy, my brain hasn't been working quit the way i would like it too so now i just expect for something to be missing when we finally arrive.

8. The LONG drive- Before we had Brynlee, i hated the 3 hour (sometimes longer) drive up to WJ. But now its more stressful and longer. Brynlee hates her car seat and she is bound to scream at some point. It's so sad to hear. I just wish our car could fly or we had our own jet. Life would be so much easier!!!

Well that is what i go through before we go home. And the sad part is, we have to do EVERYTHING again to come back down to Cedar!!! I just had to do a little venting, but it's ok to feel bad for me! hahaha.
