Jiggity Jog

Home again home again jiggity jog.  We have been running against our 70 hour clock and so we haven't really traveled too far.  Been to St. Louis and up to Chicago and we delivered to Olney and so we are on time at home and that will restart the clock and we will have more time to make longer runs.  We have been averaging about 500 miles a day, not too shabby.  I know we will be leaving out on Monday but not sure where we will be going yet.

We did have something interesting happen on Thursday.  We were driving through Noble and we saw these two women standing on the side of the road with their thumb out and so we stopped and picked them up.  They didn't need a ride they just wanted to take a ride in a semi truck and so we took them on a little trip and dropped them back off where we picked them up.  Of course we knew them, it was my mom and sis and this way we could talk with them for a bit while we worked.  It was nice to see sis again as I don't get to see her as often as I would like and of course I miss my mom too but try to see her as often as I can too. 

I have notice now that Josh and I are getting a bit on each others nerves, not much mind you but just occasionally and wondered how this is going to play out the longer we are together.  In all of our years of being married we have never spent this much time together and in such a close proximity it is different to say the least.  I guess we can't run away from each other when we are mad or upset but we have ways of cooling down and sometimes just getting into bed helps.  I think I would like some time away from the truck but yet I don't want it either.. I can't make up my mind I guess.  I have printed out some new patterns for crocheting and knitting that I am excited to work on and I know that will help me tremendously.  I would like to read but find it frustrating to do while the truck is going down the road with all the bumps. 

Hope everyone is doing great and will keep you updated on the fascinating stories of the road.
