"See. This is why I don't like packing. I feel like I'm forgetting something."
"You packed half a bag. I packed the other 2 bags."
"Did you pack everything?"
"Yeah. I already packed Janelle's stuff. We just need to put everything in the truck.", Meek said and I nodded.
I walked into Janelle's room and she was still sleep so I carefully picked her up and put a blanket over her.
"Which car we have to take Meek?"
"Your pink one. That has 3 rows. Papi and Janelle will be in the 2nd row. Someone else can sit there and then 3 people can sit in the back."
"We have stuff Meek."
"We can try to stuff it in the back. We always do that."
"Problem solved. Okay."
We walked downstairs and Sherika was walking through the door.
"Who's taking the dogs in their car? They can't fit in ours.", Meek said.
"I'll take them.", my mom said.
"I think that's it. Everybody use the bathroom? We're not stopping until we get to Virginia."
"Who riding with us cause every state we stop at, we taking turns. I can't drive for 16 whole hours by myself."
"I'll ride with you.", Sherika and Na said.
I picked up Janelle's suitcase and walked out the house.
"Somebody has to put Janelle's stroller in their car. We won't have room. Gosh this is tiring."
"I'll put it in my car.", Kathy said.
We walked out the house and the dogs went and used the bathroom.
"Mommy I'm hungry.", Papi said and I nodded.
I put my hand on his head and looked at Janelle.
"We'll stop somewhere and get something."
Meek took Janelle and her stuff from me and I put the dogs stuff in my moms car.
"I really need a vacation.", I said and Na laughed.
"Me and you both.", she said.
"We should have a girls vacation. Just us girls. Leave the kids with their dad and enjoy."
"I need a vacation too. Dad's need a vacation as well.", Meek said.
"We'll have a couples vacation. Just not now. Come here Pap."
I walked in the house and went to the kitchen.
"You want anything here?"
"I want donuts."
I opened up the pantry and gave him 3 boxes.
"Here you go. If your dad asks, tell him you're hungry.", I said and he nodded.
I made sure I had everything then walked outside.
"Come on. Let's hit the road!", Meek yelled.
"Let's just hope he doesn't start to sing.", I said to myself.
