The once beloved Batman Bed I shouldn't be blogging right now...I should be packing for our trip to New York. I have Little John's apnea monitor, oxygen tanks, and medicine all ready to be loaded. I just have to finish folding laundry and packing...and by packing, I mean cramming, said folded laundry, into suitcases.
I remember when we drove to the beach 2 summers ago and two hours into the 7 to 8 hour car trip Brian exclaimed, "I CAN'T JUST SIT HERE ALL DAY!!"
At that moment I remember turning to Mike and muttering, "We're doomed."
Let's hope Brian is better able to, "sit here all day", this trip.
We are very excited to visit the Big Apple. We also get to visit family along the way up and on the way back. I am a little fearful, though. The purpose of this trip is to visit my Nana Weinstein. Nana has been in the hospital for months (in hospice care). My Aunt Lynny keeps warning me that I really won't recognize Nana and it may take her some time to recognize me. I am not sure why, but I am really frightened to see my Nana so changed by age and disoriented. I hope I will mask my fear well.
So, robbers...like last time...if you break into the house please leave the Batman bed alone. Brian has informed us that he is no longer into Batman, though. His new passion is wolves. He reads books about wolves, draws wolves and tries to live as a wolf would live. The other day when I offered him a towel after he got out of the bathtub he explained that he was going to just, "Shake off" like wolves do. He is also reluctant to don any sort of footwear. I mean, when is the last time you saw a wolf wearing flip flops?
I have an idea...I was planning on attempting this myself at some point...but robbers, if you break into my house, would you mind painting over the Batman symbol we painted on Brian's Batman bed? I am thinking that maybe you could paint a majestic wolf howling at the moon? Thanks, robbers. You're the best. My artistic abilities are so limited.

I love NYC! And I have only been there once and it was for 8 hours. Have a fun and safe trip! Can't wait to see photos and hear all about it!
Have a fun and safe trip in NYC!! I'm totally jealous!!! Good luck with the painting robbers too!
Have a good trip! That Batman bed is totally awesome. Hope the robbers do a good job with the painting. =)
Have a fun trip. Kids will remember those car trips forever even if you hate them now. We drove from VA to UT every couple of years growing up. You can do it.
Have fun on your road trip! Oh, and by 'have fun', what I really mean is 'GOOD LUCK' because we all know how 'fun' road trips are with kids.
Oh, and here's hoping you handle your sweet Nana's appearance as best you can. You'll be so glad you saw her.
I would LOVE to go to New York! Some day. Some day.
Hey, I have a wolf lover too...Hope you have a good time in NYC!! Can't wait to hear about all the fun you'll have on the trip getting there...hahaha, hope it's not to bad :)
how did i miss the fact that you were going to NYC? did you refer to the advice of our blogging geniuses in planning your trip? really. you are going to have a great time. can't wait to hear all about it. or at least mostly about it. i'm sure there will be parts that i don't really care to hear about. no offense.
Have a BLAST in NYC!!! I am so jealous. It's been forever since I've been there. Sigh...
If that painting the bed thing works, send those robbers my way!
I have concluded that you are secretly reading the Twilight saga to Brian and that is why he wants to be a wolf - so he can look like Jacob. (I can't blame him, Jacob is yummy in the movies.)
Good luck with the trip. Hopefully you aren't like me and always forgetting one crucial life-support item for the babe. :)
Tiffany said exactly what I was going to say. We know the truth...
Have fun in NYC! I know its not always a vacation for the mom but try to steal away and enjoy yourself!
Woo Hoo!!
Even horrible car trips are worth it just to be in NYC!
Have so much fun. Take lots of pictures. Eat lots of yumminess. (is that a word?). Shop. Shop. Shop.
Then tell us all about it. :)
NYC would totally be worth 8 hours in a car with screaming Camden! You are so lucky! I hope your visit with your grandma goes well. It so hard to watch our loved ones age...happy trails!
That is one cut batman bed... Sometimes it's sad & happy all at once to see them grow out of things.
So you really had robbers last trip? My friend did, but she lives in Chicago... Not under what I heard was the, "Augusta umbrella."
Have a great trip! I too think it's easier when they're little... Too young to ask, "Are we there yet?"
I can't believe we were there so close to the same time! How fun it would have been to meet up. I'm so sorry about your pictures too- that makes me sick for you to lose those! I hope you guys had a great time!!
Awaiting your NY photos post :-)
Checking back in for NYC updates. You just left a comment on my blog so I know you did not die there.
Though after spending 24 hrs in NYC, I was ready to kill a few people. :)
Hey, Lauren, I created yet one more blog. I sent you the invite to your husband's email, I think. Do you perhaps Facebook or Twitter?
Just a friendly reminder it's time for your August post. It's almost September. :)
Lauren? Lauren? You did survive NY, right?

I'll be sure to direct all the robbers I know over to your place. :)
Good luck with the trip. It is hard seeing family members' health decline. So sorry. Hang in there!
What was your comment implying?? Keith is awesome. Definitely one of the guys I'm dating if that's what you're asking!
Dearest L! Look at all these comments!! WOW! I am lucky if I get 5! Some of these people used to comment on my blog, but for some reason or another don't any more. (Not sure what those reasons are, but anyway) I think it is because YOU are such a fantastic commenter, and they are re-paying the favor. :) Hey, that is not what I am here for. I am here to tell you that I answered your statement about Abby's beauty at birth. Hop back if you want to read it! :)
Dear Lauren, this is your blog speaking. Uhm, July 1, 2010 was a long time ago! We need a new post!At least something in October. We are so over the summer. Oh and your visitng teacher says she will see you Tuesday. She is such a lovely thing, maybe we should blog about her! That would really spice things up around here. And I 'm not talking about the jalapeno variety here.
Bye.
