My oldest daughter drove back from Florida to Illinois with her friend, then from Illinois to home - she got home at 7:15pm My youngest drove back from Orlando with her friend's family - driving through out the early morning and all day with 5 kids (4 under 12) - she got home at 7:30pm My wife and middle daughter drove back from Gatlinburg, TN and of course had to stop three times for sweet tea refills and of course stop due to the effects of the sweet tea as well - they got back at 8pm. Since we are all connected (good relationship plus the magic of texting) - I made sure that we had an abundance of comfort foods (Dewey's Pizza, Graeters Ice Cream and McAlister's Sweet Tea). We spent the next couple of hours trading adventures... The next morning my middle daughter left for her senior road trip with three girls friends. My middle daughter is now trying to catch up on 2 weeks of missed school (and they introduced algebra while she was away!). My oldest is working two jobs. And my wife is planning our 24th anniversary weekend next week...Plus the following weekend - we have out of town family visiting because we are having a high school gradation (middle daughter) - and of course a party. Me? I am glad to be back at my client site doing the things I love and getting recharged - and getting set for the next whirlwind!
