Tom is home! We got stuck in traffic from some sort of dress-up occasion at Coatesville Highschool. Lots of police, baracades, limos, balloons and prom-like attire could be seen.

Traffic was heavy all the way to Route 1, completely stopped at times, and so it took all of the self-control I could muster to keep from getting road rage. Poor Tom called and was like, “Honey, where are you!?!?” and I was only half-way there. So, he had to wait for a half hour and I picked him up at the curb. The kids were all asleep, too. So so so good to see him. Now, I’m incredibly tired. When he’s gone, I don’t sleep.. and I somehow manage without it. But, when he’s home, I am overcome with tiredness… a peace that I can just REST upon, I guess, knowing he’s home and safe with me 😉

I’m glad that I read this story about a Lockheed guy from New Jersey the day after Tom got home!! No doubt Tom will hear more at work.
