Today I ventured up to Atlanta. It was a long day, much longer than it's seemed in the past. I don't know if it was the crappy Atlanta rush-hour traffic, the never-ending construction on the interstates, or the fact that Brooklyn was not as excited about this trip as I'd hoped she would be.
It's crazy to see how much it's all changed and I was just up here a few weeks ago!! I took Ashley over to her friend Stephanie's house for a few days of hanging out. I'm sure they'll have a good time; it's been forever since they saw each other. I got a tad bit lost on the way to her house because I was going on a "feeling" from the last time I was there. And since that time, I swear it seems like 40 new subdivisions went up on the main road.
Being up in the Kennesaw/Acworth area made me miss it, though. I hate going up there because I know I'm going to wish I still lived there. As much as I've enjoyed the people down here and the friends I've made, my heart is still up in Atlanta. Rightly so, I guess; I lived in metro Atlanta for over 2/3's of my life!
When I finally got on the road to head back home (had to pick up some louvers for Tommy first), that was, of course, when Brooklyn was ready to start playing. She did not want to have any part of sleeping, remaining harnessed in her seat, or just letting Mom have a nice, quiet 2.5 hour drive. Oh no! I had to stop the car at Burger King and let her loose on the playplace for a little bit. I wish more places had play areas because it TOTALLY did the trick on her. When we got back in the car, she was out to lunch in no time!!
I'll head back up to get Ashley on Weds (or Thursday, not sure yet) and pick up some more louvers. I'm thinking I'll let Brooklyn sit this trip out....
