Better? Yeah. I'm better now.

Well, this morning started off the same as yesterday evening.  I got the girls to mom's house, a bit late (even though there is a meeting each Tuesday morning, requiring a 30 minute earlier arrival,) and I headed down the road.  20 minutes into the trip, a major monsoon-type rain hit.  I couldn't see ANYTHING, so I just stopped.  Right there.  On a two-way highway with no shoulder.  I worried someone would hit me, then realized that nobody else could drive either, so I was probably ok.

About 2 hours later (or maybe 3 minutes...yeah, probably more like 2 minutes) it let up enough for me to see a tiny bit, and I could tell that I *was* on my side of the road, and only *two* tires were off the road.  PHEW!  I started moving again, at the rapid pace of 15 mph.  After the monsoon and hail, I was shaking so hard that I could barely hold it in the road.  I passed a school bus in the ditch (not a big enough mess to cause injury, but still scary) but 3 cars had stopped, so I didn't.

I got to work, only 1 minute late for the meeting, and life began.  It was super busy, but I handled it superbly.  On the way home, things went as they should, and there were no disasters.  Kevin got the girls on time.  I got home to find BLT's being prepared, and all of Brett's promised chores done.  I ate, called a friend, and had a cold beer (not lukewarm.)  I think things are normal.  Well, as normal as can be expected here.

Now, for a much needed *sigh*.  Ahhh, that feels great.
