We pulled into the driveway of our gem of a rental home at approximately 12:25a.m., 21 1/2 hours after we left our own driveway.  We stumbled into the house, quickly located our beds and hit the sack with visions of  a sound sleep and a leisurely breakfast complete with steaming cups of coffee dancing [...]

Feeling better, I joked, &#8220;Hope it&#8217;s not the Universe trying to tell us something.&#8221;  Ha. Ha.
Jer looked over at me, shot me his best reassuring smile and turned his eyes back on to the road ahead&#8230;

Worried over my sanity and the kids&#8217; overall safety (you know, from me and my questionable sanity) I told them to turn the movie off and try to get some sleep.  As soon as Buzz Lightyear faded into obscurity the kids&#8217; eyelids were fluttering shut.  I turned and looked at Jeremy with a smile on [...]

Have you ever made a decision and then regretted it?  Have you ever been super excited about a plan only to be momentously deflated by a sudden turn-of-events?  Have you ever thought that the Universe is working against you or perhaps punishing you for a lifetime of bad choices?
