The Long Day



Sunrise.  The time of day when I'm crawling out of bed, searching for a hot cup of coffee and my laptop, half an hour before I find my way to the shower and emerge cleaner and a little more pleasant.    Unfortunately, today I watched the sunrise through the drivers side window of the truck as I drove home from dropping the kids off at school.  I certainly have a new appreciate for Hunters license - and can't wait until he gets it back.  Ok, so I actually like getting to see the boys in the morning before school...but the drive is a little much. 

Come to think of it, I spent most of the day in the car.  After my sunrise trek, I made it home in time to shower and take of to Dayton to get Austin to the airport.  I tried everything to make him late for his flight...construction, traffic, snow showers and some fire wood in the road but we made it on time anyway.  What a long drive home that was.

As Jeff and I drove down Zoar tonight, the sun was setting out the passenger window.  On the same road, eleven hours, 100+ miles and a few tears after I watched it rise this morning.  What a long day.
