Well I have learned a lot this first trip, firstly 9 hrs is far too long to drive with a trailer! My max is 4-5 hours. I never knew you could get motion sickness from pulling a trailer but I did. When I layed down that night I closed my eyes and was swaying back and forth! I had to take a gravol to make it stop! Who knew?!
Google is my friend I have joked with friends that I Google everything but all the answers are there at your fingertips and it helped multiple times. Like why I didn’t have power to my microwave etc. And it saved me calling my brother or nephew for help. Which I’m sure they appreciated.
I made my mom come. And I’m not too proud to say that. She followed in her truck and I needed the moral support. I’ve been talking pretty big about doing this, but deep down I was extremely nervous and I needed the support. I wanted to build confidence and yeah the weather we headed out in definitely did that. I do not recommend going in terrible winds and pouring rain! But that said I did it and am proud of myself!!! That’s me tooting my horn… toot toot! But seriously knowing my mom was behind me helped so much.
So this is the part where I talk about the thoughts in my head ( the raw honesty part) While I’m proud of the fact that I did this (because more woman don’t than do) I kind of wish at times I didn’t have too. I get tired of doing ALL the things in life alone. It gets hard. I’m grateful I know how, but at times just wished I didn’t have too.
That all said I have a young man watching me and I hope he looks at me and thinks his mom can do anything. I want more than anything for him to always know that he can do hard things so because of that I’m doing all the damn things!
We are home now for the summer, Dane had a job he adores so he wanted to work but we will be going on some adventures for sure. And come September that’s when the big one begins!
