Fatigue

Remember how I said I love a good road trip. I lied! Hahaha!

Well, I guess I don't love a road trip when it involves sitting in traffic for almost forty-five minutes when you are less than twenty miles from the promised land...home that is! And traffic is at a standstill. And you've already been all the way to Houston and back in one day.

Isn't it funny how sitting in a car waiting can cause you extreme fatigue? I'm feeling rather sleepy right now. All from sitting and waiting and waiting and maybe driving for hours. It makes for a long day.

But it probably wasn't such a bad day compared to the guy driving the semi that caught on fire, the cause of shutting down the interstate and rerouting traffic onto the frontage road. Not sure how, but we saw a bunch of Whataburger boxes being loaded off the bed of the trailer. And about fifty yards of charred shoulder where the truck had stopped. Hopefully no one was hurt, but that can't be a good day for a person driving a tractor-trailer. I wonder if he'll quit his job...

Oh but we got to pick up my niece and nephew, and they are pretty stinking cute. Most of the time they were even pretty good in the car. Very little drama. And I got some hugs and kisses, too. Which isn't so bad, when you think about it. Not so bad at all.
