We Made It
I am totally exhausted, sick, and have a sore back, but the kids and I made it safely to Columbia (Chris is staying in a hotel off post) a little while ago.
Let me just say, it wasn’t the easiest trip ever.
I had training at Choices last night from six until nine. While on my way home, my sister in law, Misty, called me to tell me my little brother was in the ER. Luke has been hurting for a few days, mainly in his neck and back, and it had gotten worse and his legs had broken out in horrible dark red spots. They were testing him for things like west nile virus and meningitis. I was really worried, and, since my kids were spending the night with Misty, I went to the hospital to check on him. I ended up staying there with him until 2:30 this morning.
When I finally left, I still had to pack, so I didn’t get to bed until about twenty after three this morning. I didn’t fall asleep right away, either. My mind was too busy. After about three and a half hours of sleep, I got up at seven to finish packing and make it back to Oak Ridge by nine when my training started. I then had six hours of training, and was finished at three. Mom brought the kids to me in Oak Ridge, and we set off to see Daddy.
About six hours and three stops later, we made it through three torrential downpours…one in Tennessee, one in North Carolina, and one in South Carolina… and into Daddy’s arms. We got to Columbia at about nine thirty, seconds before the afore mentioned torrential downpour made it to the hotel.
All I can say is…I AM TIRED!!!
Oh, I can say one more thing…
I am Superwoman.
