City driving

So I have been without Amy all week. She is working nights and sleeps during the day. And we all know that that doesn't really work when you have a three and a half year old that demands all your attention. So Amy sleeps at the hospital in a call room. Anyway this morning Judah and I had breakfast at the hospital. Poor Amy called me at 7:40am and woke me up. The alarm had failed to do so at 6:30am. She asked me where I was and in my dazed state I answered her "in bed." Then it hit me that I was supposed to be at the hospital around now. I had said that we would leave at 7am. So Amy decided that it was worth staying up a little longer for her to have breakfast with us. It is a 18 mile drive from our house to the hospital. It took me 50 minutes to drive the first 5 miles. That is an average of 6 miles an hour. I love this city. Then traffic broke free and it took me another 25 minutes to do the rest. Only being slowed down a little more while passing an little accident (a little more than a fender-bender). Judah and I were lucky, it was waffle Wednesday. Belgium waffles with strawberry syrup and whipped cream. A good cup of coffee and a plum green tea later it was Amy's bedtime and Judah and I left. On the way back right after I got on the interstate Judah had to pee. so I get of the next exit and stop t a Burger King. Then I got back on the interstate, or so I thought. The on ramp never reached the interstate but led to a bypass to a different interstate(I55). So I get off and find my way back. This should be simple after all there are signs everywhere. I follow the signs to the right interstate (I90/I94) and guess what as I follow the on-ramp the signs change from (I90/I94) to (I290) I had had it I decided to take the streets and made it home in a mere 1.5 hours. I love driving here.
