Caffeine Trip

I like to drive.

I really do.

But yesterday I drove for 6 hours and today another 6.

The last few hours today were rough. I was having trouble staying awake…..like when I watch sci-fi with DUH. BO-RING!

My 13 year old ran out of things to talk about. That’s how bad it was….we were all bored stiff (literally, you should have seen me getting out of the van).

So I started eating little chocolate bars. Thanks Mom for sending those home with us.

I kept thinking that nibbling on them would help me stay awake.

I managed to get us all home safely. I kept thinking I would crawl straight into bed and let the kids slap together some sandwiches and put themselves to bed.

I walked in the door, greeted DUH, dropped my things in the corner, fell across the bed and….

BING! The caffeine from the chocolate hit.

So it’s 11:30 and I feel like I have had three Red Bulls.

So much for my great ideas!
