Surely not two days in a row… Today it took over and hour to go less than three miles from school to dance class. Apparently the holdup has been a water main break that shut the whole road down for almost two days. They opened up one lane today, so I could see the huge gaping hole in the road where they were digging to repair the pipe. Christina made it to the last ten minutes of her class, at least. And if that wasn’t enough, it took Billy 50 minutes to drive two miles to Publix to buy dessert for dinner tonight. Because they’ve also shut down a main road that requires a detour through one of what is already one of the busiest stretches of road in Mandarin. Longest mile ever.

This is the only photo I took yesterday and it is terrible. I was on my way to a meeting that is actually being held NEXT Wednesday. They had shut down an entire exit just before the bridge and it caused unbelievable rush hour traffic. I realized my mistake just after getting off the bridge and turned right around back onto the highway. A 12-mile drive ended up taking one hour and forty-five minutes. For a meeting that is next week. I just turned the music up and sang.
