on the road.....

ok, so i did the meanmamma taxi thing today...in a big way......i drove with my middle child yet again to lexington to pick up a friend, then on to university of Louisville.....where they were to attend a lock-in reunion sort of thing with their friends from Governor's Scholars...the 5 week camp for smart kids that they attended last summer......this would not have a been a big deal had the snow not descended within 10 minutes of leaving the house on our drive up......to the point that scw asked me at one point to explain the difference between our current weather conditions and a blizzard.......the ride up was so much easier than the ride up because the snow had stopped and the salt trucks were out........but basically i drove for 4.5 hours.....entertained by my 6 latest mix cd's, and witty repartee courtesy of my passengers........i find scw's friend fascinating.....being a soprano and an actress.......so different from my frame of reference for spending both work and free time......ah well......i am back home in one peice....and settled in for the night........and quite thankful that another mother will do the return trip from u of l tomorrow
