Wise Long Haul Trucker

She is a long-haul trucker, traveling the open road. Rough and tough as she has to be but no more than. Her children are at home with her husband, stay-at-home-dad. Why do you do it? People ask her. Have you ever been at home with sixteen children? She replies. The school teachers understand instantly. The other mothers, not so much.

Great one, Caren. I used to want to be an over-the-road trucker. I figured I could get lots more written. I could dictate while I drove. When my nephew became one, I envied him. He didn't last long. He told me he hated it. ?????

I could not stand it; too much driving.
