The Map Quest

I have no one else I want to tell this story to, but I have to get it off my chest. Today I went to eat lunch with my dad. I got directions off mapquest because I didn’t know the best way from my new house. Well, it was a cinch–only 2 turns and 20 minutes from start to finish.

We ate at a cute burger place where I got a bluecheese burger and chocolate nachos for dessert. Yum. Once Daddy left Lydia kept looking for him in the parking lot. While I strapped her in the carseat, she was looking out the window for him. Then once I got in the car, she looked right at me, signed “Daddy” and said, “Da?” She was asking for him! It was so cute! I was so excited, I called Daddy, then called my dh, then called my mom. OK, so I’m a little proud of my daughter.

Well, by this time I was driving but not really looking where I was going. Suddenly, I got to a deadend. A deadend I didn’t remember seeing before. I found a place to turn around so I could get back on track. Well, one hour later I pull into my house. ONE HOUR. I lived in Atlanta for 21 years before I got married. You’d think I could find my way back. The only thing I could find was the same 2 streets over and over again. Honestly, I went around the same circle 3 times. Finally, I had to get on the interstate and take the long way home. Poor Lydia was crying in the back and I was practically crying in the front. I have absolutley no sense of direction.

To encourage myself, I’ll leave you with this quote:

“That’s the worst of girls,” said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. “They never carry a map in their heads.”

“That’s because our heads have something inside them,” said Lucy.

— from Chapter 9 of Prince Caspian, by C. S. Lewis

    Hey! Like the blog! So sorry you got lost:( But yay for Lydia being so smart! It’s amazing how at this age they really are picking stuff up as fast as they are.

    Thanks for giving me a heads up on the new blog. I’ll add this blog and Lydia’s to my blog roll. I’m only on my blog and myspace now. I canceled my membership at IV, so this way I can keep up with you two.

    Herbal sex pills for men not only boost blood flow to the penis but also increase the production of the male sex hormone testosterone. This has a dual effect on your sexual health. Not only does it ensure rock solid erections but also help you get an increased sex drive or libido. This can further spice up your sex life.Natural or herbal Sex Pills For Men also tend to boost the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps penile muscles relax so that blood vessels can expand. This is significant since it is only when blood vessels widen up that blood flow to the erectile tissue can be increased resulting in a hard and stiff erection.
