We Didn't Have to Light It On Fire

We are nearing the end of our 40 days and 40 nights.
And at the end, I will have my head together and I will have many people to personally thank.
But grandma, you take the cake. You took yourself out of retirement and drove to Texas with four young children who threw up and fussed. You took the boys for the night twice on the drive. You planned our route. You helped me feed them along the way. You comforted. You threw toys and crackers at them like a pro.
AND, when we returned, you didn't even rest before you cleaned out the van and vacuumed it so that we wouldn't have to burn it down.
Now, roll over and get some rest, you're scheduled for duty again at the end of the month!

I'm glad she cleaned the van for you, but now our video of you torching it will never go viral on youtube. Whatever will we do now?

Yeah, so grandma HATES driving through Dallas/Ft. Worth--no joke, we slid into the state from the East and took two-lane highways a lot of the way just to avoid Dallas traffic.

When Patric and I come through next, Dallas is a certain stop through.
