Oh my Highway!

1. Rescuing Mandy from the side of the road just outside the perimeter last night after she got off work. So glad she called us. Visibility ZERO, stress - MAXIMUM, panic attack? JUST ABOUT.

2. Coming home from my running club at noon today - stuck in a long line up of semi's as they waited for the highway to re-open - I just wanted to get home so i could eat (and oh ya - PEE). Thank goodness some SUV's decided to make a "new" path to the turn lane.

sorry mom, my phone was on vibrate

I am going to drive myself crazy! I try so hard to let Mandy be independent. I think I do a pretty good job. She is very good at communicating and always tells me whats up. I text her, she answers, etc. Today at 10pm I txted her good night. I knew where she was going after work and didn't worry too much when she didn't answer. Well at 1am when she didn't answer my text, didn't answer two phone calls I started to get a little antsy. So I tried her BF - that didn't work either. I was just getting ready to start trying other friends when she finally phoned (now a half hour later). She felt horrible and is perfectly safe. I try so very hard not to let anticipatory disorder set in. Its so hard. I will try and go back to sleep now. She will be home soon. UGH - I am so sick of myself.

I told her I wasn't mad - I just needed to check in. Heaven help me when she moves out someday.
