Where is Spring? Yesterday was shorts weather; today it's an ice storm and 3 inches of snow. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE snow, but as we approach April in just another week or so, I am ready for bluebirds, flowers and lots of sunshine. As well, this weather only hampers my ability to quickly get the car loaded and ready to make the drive north today, as we head home later this afternoon.
Many friends have asked how I do it, how do I drive that 7 1/2 hour trip so often? As crazy as it may seem, it's one of the only times I get "me" time without worrying about if the laundry has been done, the house is clean, are these lessons to teach, etc. While it's putting too much mileage on my van, it's giving me mental mileage that is freeing. It's also a time I relish knowing that my boys are happy to watch kids videos as we drive, as I know there will be a time when that's the last thing they will want to do.
Traverse City .... here we come!
