Traffic!?

When the weather starts to get warmer everyone seems to get super excited!  I sure am glad winter is FINALLY over.  You would think driving would improve with no snow on the ground but so far that doesn't seem to be the case.

Other things start to cause problems.  Like the rising sun during the morning commute.  It really likes to mess my drive up.  Last week on a particularly bright morning there were tons of accidents.  Traffic was horrible.  The highway was backed up for miles.  Traffic wasn't slowed it was stopped.  The alternate route was becoming congested and slow.  Thank God for GPS on phones because otherwise we would have been late for school.  I wouldn't have known to go the way the GPS brought us.  The path I would have taken would have been extra long and probably involved a fair amount of backtracking.

Then again this morning traffic was horrible.  It seriously took me 30minutes to drive 3 miles.  3 miles in THIRTY   minutes.  It normally takes three.  No there was no accident.  Just road work that is going to last until June.  One lane of high was for 3 months.  I'm hoping that as people get used to this one lane instead of two things will pick back up.

Today it caused us to be late to school.  Luckily we weren't the only ones who had a tough drive in.  Apparently nearly half the class did.  But still it is hard for me to deal with not moving. On. The. Highway.  I have no patience and a slight speeding problem.

I should add that I am not used to driving in traffic so I haven't built a tolerance to it.  My morning commute used to take about 7 or 8 minutes!  Now getting to work takes about 2 minutes!!!
