Can't Sleep, Worried Sick
Taylor and two co workers left yesterday around noon to go to a Jack Johnson Concert in Wisconsin and were planning on driving home after. I had suggested that if it really gets too late to stay in a hotel because I didn't want to worry about them driving home so late.
Ok, so I realize she isn't as young as she used to be and the other girls with her are very capable, but it doesn't stop me from worrying. I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and still NO Taylor at home in her own bed yet. I decided to text her and ask if she knew how much longer till they arrive to Springfield and of course she had no clue where she was. I kept hoping she might recognize the mile markers since it is almost the same trip we take to visit my folks up north, Rt. 39 and 55 South. (I at least thought that was the planned highways)
She was tired and had feelings of being too grown up for me to be worried about her. After texting back and forth a couple more times, I finally got out of her that they took a detour. I am not sure why they took a detour, but it made me worry even more.
No matter how old my girls get, I am always going to worry, they are just to precious to me to not worry. She finally got home around 7 a.m. I plan on letting her sleep at least until 3p.m. and then, hope to hear all the details of the concert and the ride home.
(I should have all my cookies baked by then)

1) I feel your pain!!!! I paced the floor many a night....still do now that they're grown!! I don't think they realize what they put us through. Someday they'll understand.....when they're up at 2 am worrying about their own!!

I'm sure my mom is the same--we get annoyed at times but we really understand you are just being a mom and that's ok (even if we grumble about it a bit). :)
