A long drive
I'm mostly finished packing and am taking off in the morning with Baby E to help FMW and family move.
Baby E is definitely sick, with a low-grade fever, cough, the snifflies and general misery. I've got a scratchy throat and am not sure if my excessive fatigue and achiness is from illness, sleep deprivation or just a flare-up of my FMS/CFS. The Former Military family also has what appears to be the same illness we've had (it seems to be going around our church), so I'm not too worried about spreading contagion.
We'll be driving all day tomorrow, between rest stops, so we're hoping the babies will sleep a lot and not be too fussy.
I'm still looking forward to the trip. Here's hoping it will be a safe and enjoyable one.

I hope that Baby E feels better before you go. Traveling with sick children can be a challenge for them and for their parents.
Blessings!

Have fun and feel better!
Thanks, both of you!
Have fun! I hope you get better!
Drive safely!
