Cold.

October 16, Carrolton.

The muddy days are back and so is the cold.
I had forgotten how hard it is to get up in the morning when it's cold, outside and nearly as much inside too, how hard it is to get out of a warm bed and dress, the clothes wet to the touch with cold, how hard it is to have to take the children our of bed and carry them out to the frigid truck, how uncomfortable it feels, how unfair to them.
But it is sunny now, four hours and almost a hundred miles later, the light just came on, the trailer is slowly warming up, and we made it here safe.
