Away from Home for 2009 Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!

It’s been a long two weeks, ever since I started to work the eleven straight days in a row.  It’s really been a challenge to do just that.  Add in the mix the stuff associated with the holidays and the expectations of the season.  And today, it was another one of our few hundred-mile driving trip to Central Florida.

I am finally glad that my Sunshine and I reached central Florida earlier this evening.  Yesterday when I was at work, I was a little concerned about making it here in time for the Christmas occasion.  It has turned out to be a very busy twenty-four hour.  Believe me, I have been waiting for this day off, but it’s been with four-hours of sleep.  My Sunshine hasn’t slept really well in the last thirty-six hours; she drove for five hours today with no sleep early this morning.  We once again experienced another twenty degrees drop in temperature while driving.

It’s the second time in the last two years.  Last year it was from Memphis.  Who knows if my Sunshine and I would be able to repeat this experience next year?  Is this a start of a tradition for my wife and me?  That is provided that I’ll be able to get two days in a row, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, at least.
