It's my favorite Jackson Browne song, and I feel like I am. Both of the kids were born in October, so I spend the whole month working and traveling to see them. Two week ago I went to San Antonio with Christina then flew back and worked all week. Then I got off at 7am Friday morning, drove to Auburn to pick up Clay, then to Atlanta to pick up Christina, then back to Auburn to spend the weekend. Clay was sick all week last week, so I had fevers and runny noses and coughs to deal with. Then after a mere 36 hours we were doing it all in reverse. Then back to Fairhope Sunday night to work another shift. Tomorrow morning I'm headed back to Auburn for another couple of days with Clay.
"Lookin' down at the road rushin' under my wheels.
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels.
I look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through.
Lookin' into their eyes I see them runnin' too..."
But it's great to have the time to spend with them. I'm fortunate to have two great kids whose affection far exceeds my expectations, and is exponentially more than I deserve.
that DOES sound exhausting...and rewarding.
ReplyDeleteI used to like to make "Road Trip" mixes and that always got me through the driving part pretty well. haha.
