14 hours of my life were spent in a car yesterday.
I had spent the week with my sister and niece, visiting another one of my nieces in AZ.
It was a long drive home from Douglas, AZ to Salt Lake City, UT
but I did it. I made it.
The only side effect is a flat butt
and a constant twitching, most likely do to 5 Hour energy drink overdose.
My sister took the 3:30-10:30 pm driving shift
and I took the 10:30 pm-6:00 am shift.
15 minutes into my drive, I got pulled over by a cop for the first time in 11 years.
Apparently, the speed limit was 45...
I was going 75.
He took pity on me and I slid away with a warning.
After that, I faithfully followed the speed limit for the next hour or so.
I was doing awesome most of my drive -Pandora on the radio, turned up high-
but the last 2.5 hours of my drive were KILLER.
I suddenly felt like Jessie from Saved By The Bell...
(Please tell me you know what I'm talking about)
I eventually made it home at 6:00 am safe and sound.
Everyone was still fast asleep so I quietly snuck inside and said hello to puppy millie.
She peed with excitement at the sight of me.
Then I climbed in the covers and sank into my official place in bed- spooning close to Nate.
At 9:00 am I was greeted by the kiddo's. It was a welcomed sight after 5 days of being childless.
Eden was especially happy to see me.
I'm pretty sure she peed with excitement too.
And now, I'm dragging and I can barely think straight
and I feel like I'm floating and I seem to have a permanent headache
and backwards my words come out.
I'm pretty sure I'm done with all night drives...
Until the next time I decide to do another impromptu road trip with my sister.
