Have you heard the Kacey Musgraves song, “Biscuits“?  Its a fun little number and my favourite line is “Mend your own fences and own your own crazy.”

So, this is me, owning my crazy.

I want to create road trip binders for the kids, full of activities to keep them occupied on the road.  This is what is looks like after a few hours printing amazing things from other peoples “free downloads” and before I put it all together.

This is going to be awesome, right?!?!

In my head this is going to turn into three awesome binders with taped dividers for everything from maps to math problems.  Each kid will have a box/foot rest and they’ll have markers and scissors and glue and play dough and other amazing educational and fun stuff.  This will entertain the children for hours on end and they won’t ever want to watch a movie or play on an iPad.  Life is really pretty in my head.

Now, keep in mind that I have not even started packing the stuff we need, like underwear and toothbrushes, partly because I still have loads (yes, plural) of laundry to do.  The camping tubs are still in the garage.  And school ends this week so there are cupcakes to be baked, year-end teacher gifts to be arranged, a Kindergarten concert, an after school potluck picnic.  Oh, and Uncle Ashley is flying in from Sydney for a whirlwind weekend on Friday.

But I’m making pretty road trip binders.   I own my crazy.
