Well, obviously I haven't had a week like this past week since I started blogging. I literally had no time to blog. I am looking into how to be able to blog from my phone so that I can post a few things while on the road.
My week started last Sunday with my weekly drive to Kentucky. Monday, I worked late so that I could leave Kentucky on Tuesday. Tuesday rolled around and my Blackberry suffered a software glitch that left my cell phone inoperable. (I literally had no communication, except at the office and at home until Wednesday night) On Tuesday, I drove back to Nashville to see Spencer play at the Hard Rock Cafe. On Wednesday, I worked from home and spent time at the Verizon store and on the computer trying to restore my new phone. Thursday, I woke up at 3:30 a.m. to drive to Kentucky again and spend the rest of my day in a Healthcare Council meeting. Thursday night, I fell asleep early. Friday, I attended a staff meeting and drove to Tennessee. When I arrived in Tennessee, I unpacked my car, loaded the Suburban, put five track athletes in my vehicle, and drove through tornadoes, fog, hail, and driving rain to Atlanta. It was around 11:30 when we got to bed. Saturday was spent at a track meet in Atlanta. We ate and then drove back to Thompson's Station, arriving at 9:30 last night. Today, I will drive back to Kentucky and then on Tuesday I will drive back to Nashville to see Joshy run in an elite, invitation only meet at Vanderbilt University.
So, I am not complaining, but you probably get the picture. A lot of driving and little "down" time. But, I found myself enjoying the moment quite often really. I enjoyed my time on the road and made a conscious effort to enjoy the scenery. Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia all have very distinct, beautiful scenery. I enjoyed just riding alone in the car with no cell phone interruptions like in the "old days". I enjoyed taking a trip with my son and having him ride along beside me. And I enjoyed making memories with him.
And I will remember this week for a long time and the uniqueness of it. But, I have to admit, a return to "normalcy" would be nice too.
