cruisin' for a bruisin'

it is happening. i can feel it. you know how you can tell you are embarking on a bad habit? Whatever it is for you; social smoking, excessive eating, biting your nails... well- i have a new nasty habit- driving and i can't stop it.

has started to pitch fits... on occasion.

autumn suddenly doesn't want or like to fall asleep during the day. she screams at the top of her little lungs until i think she might throw up. she used to cuddle into my body and let me rock her to sleep- angelic like. not anymore.

so, i pack her in the car in sheer frustration and inevitably she falls asleep within minutes. this morning i think she was asleep before i hit the end of the driveway. but i still drove for a few minutes out of sheer fear that she would wake up. in fact, as i type this i am like the teenqueen in the horror movie convniced she hears a sound- a terrible sound ... the sound of a child awakening!!!

this DRIVING is a bad habit. i can tell. but like munching on chocolate chip cookies after 8pm- i just can't stop myself. anyone have any suggestions?
