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!
