Oh, god.. I finally got around to reading some of delswife's trip reports (ok, I only made it to part 5) and I had a terrifying momentary flash of clarity.
I WILL BE THAT WOMAN IN FIFTEEN YEARS! All the ingredients are there. The tampon fearing husband. The pill-popping mother. The crazy ooga booga inlaws. All I need are a couple of kids in my kennel and I'm set.
I do, however, have to draw the line at Nascar paraphernalia...there will be none of that in my house. My husband is a Star Wars dork.
