I have wheel-shaped feet
September 10, 2007 After arriving home after two days of driving on Tuesday night, and a full shopping day on Thursday, we decided on Friday to run down to Sacramento for the weekend. Because we're nuts. I was feeling very grumpy on Thursday, driving the four-hour drive to Sac, and finally pieced together that in five days I had spent more waking hours driving than not. Suddenly my grumpiness made sense, although I'm not sure if my Superstar Husband appreciated my over-attentive mean-ness any more, sense or no sense.
After the drive, though, we had an amazing weekend, spending time with friends, going out for our sixth anniversary. I meant to write an eloquent post about my Superstar Husband, but computer time was not abundant. So you can read last year's eloquent post.
Today we drive home again, except that we have to take the long and loopy way, swinging by the Bay Area to pick up some work of mine. More car hours. Urg.

Happy Anniversary to the two of you! I hope you still laugh together and talk in silly British accents once in a while, and someday, play on a playground together, without your kids, just the two of you. You were meant to be, and I'm so happy you have each other. Many years!

Yes, Happy Anniversary! Happy trails to you also as you head back home. Hopefully there's a little rest in your future to take the edge off the grumpies and give those rolling feet of yours a well-deserved break. I've never understood why it's so exhausting to sit for an extended period- either in a car or plane. Although in your case it's probably the 'driving-more-than-sleeping' part that's got you wiped out.
I guess you're taking the "Journey Mama" moniker VERY literally lately! It's amazing, though, what a difference it can make when you figure out WHY you're grumpy.
Congratulations on your anniversary! I read last year's eloquent post, and then I read the post about your proposal and how you met and felt a bit weepy. I love it that you two tall people found each other, and found it good. Wishing you many more happy years together.
Oh, I feel like I'm always taking it literally. Urg. It's only going to get more literal in the near future, which is actually very exciting.
Thanks for all the congratulations, anniversaries are FUN!
Happy anniversary. And it is vitally important to know why one is grumpy. Here's to a quiet time at home for a change.
