Road Trip from Hell (Probably part 34)

Whoa! It’s been awhile since I’ve been here but of course I have been super busy, yeah yeah, I know lame excuse. But I return with a story that would only happen to yours truly. So 2 weekends ago I had to go pick up some stuff from someone I did a full dessert bar for as I needed my cupcake stand for another party. So we make plans to meet at the Red Robin off of Lincoln and Arapahoe. Now after further investigation I realize these two streets don’t intersect but when she texted me I instantly had the Red robin off of E470 and Parker in my head, and you know sometimes when you just get something in your head even though it may be way off, this was one of those times! So we were to meet at 9:30 am and I was going to have to take the boys as Josh was already at work at this time. So I load the boys up with cups of milk and snacks and we are on our way. Now my Ryde pants is usually ready for his morning nap around 10 so I was hoping he wouldn’t get too salty while we were driving so I wouldn’t have to drive us off an embankment because he would just be screaming at me for the whole trip. Well he was pretty good on our way there as long as Luke was handing over the Kix’s. So we get there like 15 minutes early, (yeah wtf right?!?! Why can’t I be that early for important stuff or when I don’t have two minions in the car?!?!) anyways, there’s a McD’s in the same parking lot and I thought PERFECT, get some coffee in me before I team ram rod someone on my way home for driving like an idiot! So of course Luke wants something and Ryde’s hooting and hollering also so I get them both a hash brown hoping that it will quiet them down for a while as I wait for the lady. Well now its 9:40 and I’m thinking where the hell is she, right!?!?! and the boys have devoured their hash browns and now cereal seems lame so they are getting restless in the back seat. So I look over my text message again and this is when the light bulb goes off that this is NOT the Red Robin she was referring to AND that there is a new red robin off of Parker and Arapahoe supposedly (according to BILL, I still don’t believe it and wont till I eat a f’ing Royal burger from there) so I try and text her and am waiting for a response when I hear the dreaded statement form Luke, “I have to Pee mom” CRAP! So I say ok give me a sec. So I go to the passenger side of the car and open both doors and tell Luke to climb up to the front and come pee between the two doors. I choose the passenger side because it wasn’t facing busy Parker road. This side also happens to be Ryde’s side of the car and as Luke starts peeing Ryde throws the toy they had been fighting over right in the middle of Luke’s pee stream. MOTHER F’errrrrrrrrrrr. Luke of course continues to pee on it as we all know you “can’t stop once you’ve started, it stings” (Dumb and Dumber reference) and the first words out of my mouth are “Come on man” which Ryde just laughs at and Luke starts laughing saying “look mom I’m peeing on our toy” WHATEVER, pull up your pants and get in the f’ing car. At this point I could care less about my stuff and just wanted to get home as I knew this laughing was the calm before the Ryde shit storm that was about to commence on our ride home. Sure enough I had to blast some classic rock to drown out Ryde screaming at me to get him the eff out of his car seat in his 1 year old scream talk for the remainder of our mini road trip from hell! We finally made it home and angel Ryde made an appearance as I got him out of his seat, he leaned in and gave me a nice open mouth thank you kiss for rescuing him from his car seat haha so of course I was instantly un-annoyed (is that a word? It is today) and we all took a nap, hahahahhahah SIKE! I wish! Ryde did and Luke and I packed (Luke ran around like a banshee) for another mini road trip across town for the Chavez Family Picnic! I was a little too ambitious that weekend ;) Till next time friends, here are some pics of the “incident”


What is this toy you ask?!?!?! It's only half of a $2 toy that is missing the basket that goes on top and it shoots a ball in the air when you click the trigger and then you try and catch it. Which Luke just uses to shoot the ball at you, never attepmting to catch it ;) Get in the car bum!
