Mommy left early to head to Atlanta to receive an award for being a social media 'mover and shaker' so Daddy was on his own with the kids. Started our day with an Uber at 8:30am, flight to Charlotte at 11am, and a 2-hour layover. The kids were great and things were pretty seamless. Alex got a badge from TSA that he was very proud of and Gemma was in good shape.
Arrival in Charlotte was a little bumpy due to isolated storms. We sat down for some food after waiting for a table and Gemma decided she had to poop. Couldn't get three humans and three 40 lb backpacks into a bathroom without losing the table where we just placed a huge order. Gemma offered to just poop in her diaper since we had that contingency planned. Innovator. Getting three bags and three humans into a single stall for a vertical change procedure of a nasty dump is not on Daddy's bucket list to repeat.
Got to EWR at rush hour so 10 express trains blew past us...then we had to switch at Rahway. The wheels started coming off, Alex had to pee in a water bottle on the train platform, and a $175 uber alternative ride home was an absolute necessity. Both kids fell asleep in the car. Bedtime snack of peanut butter and jelly on hamburger buns because we had no damn bread.
Nightmare complete.
