I survived

Sigh. I made it through the weekend. Don't get me wrong, it was great to be able to go to the race. Let me start at the beginning........Saturday morning.

Caleb cried his little heart out when we left. I nearly told Brian to leave me home. Seriously, it nearly killed me. But he did get over it, as a call home before we got too far away assured me.

The trip down was relatively uneventful. Oh, except for the discovery of a nail in one of the tires. You know, sometimes a nail WILL stay in a tire for 500 miles without making it go flat. Good to know. Traffic was not bad at all. Sunday dawned hotter than blazes. And it was even hotter at the track.........all those people and all that pavement. I made it through without heatstroke. I am SO not a hot weather girl. The race was great! We had perfect seats, no obnoxious people near us, life was good. For a while.

After the race was over around 11 pm, it took us about an hour to get out of race traffic, most of which I dozed away. Then about 20 miles from our motel, traffic stopped. As in, turn your car off, get out and stretch your legs, we're gonna be here a while stopped. We sat there for 2 and a half hours waiting for an accident to be cleaned up. We got to the motel at 3 am yesterday morning. So much for getting an early start home. We slept until 7:30, got on the road around 9 am but wait, we had to get a tire put on the car. That took an hour and a half. So it was around 11:30 before we headed home.

everyone was tired and tempers were getting short by the time we got home at 10:45 last night. I was so thankful to be home. There has never been a better sight. Both boys were in bed but Caleb was up before I left for work this morning so I did get to see him.

I missed those kids so bad, it wasn't really worth the weekend away.

So here I am

Okay, so I'm jumping on the bandwagon. That's me.......always following the crowd. LOL Here's the start of my blog.

So, I'm headed off from work for the long weekend. We are going to NC for the race this weekend with my mother in law. Yes, my mother in law, for the entire weekend. This should be fun.
