Travel days

Doing dishes. Not so fun.

Posted by Leo. Travel days are the hardest days of our trip. Whenever we move places its always early in the morning so everyone gets up early. All of my family is used to sleeping in, especially me and Griffin. My mom wakes up cranky. She is always making us pack faster and faster. The pressure is high because if I slow down, complain, or give up I'll get yelled at. We try to stay away from Mom but that's impossible because she is everywhere.


I have a hard time staying on track and focusing on packing and cleaning. Many of the things I’m told to do are about cleaning the bathroom. I hate that job because it smells bad sometimes. My parents told me that I needed to get over my “fear” of cleaning them. I really don’t like getting my hands dirty. For example, when I do the dishes I hate touching the ones that still have food or ketchup on them. Last night we had Indian food and the dishes smelled bad and were really dirty.
