If you know anything about the distance between exits on I-90 in NY you will appreciate my fustration. (If you don't....consider this...we live by exit 45 and Jon's parents live by exit 60, it takes 2 hours to get there).

I had a lot of misfortunes earlier in the day (it involves syrup, jeans, and my car) and I was ready to go home by the end of the day. My last child didn't leave till after 6pm and I still had school work to do. I got through the tolls and I either have to go straight or right. Now in the mornings....I go right on I-90 and then straight to 390 and the afternoon I need to go straight on I-90 and right on to 490. Well, I got it mixed up along with the construction issues. I got on I-90 west (toward Buffalo). It is 13 miles to the next exit. I was so close to making an illegal U-Turn b/c of the distance. I was a good girl and I went all the way to exit 43 and turned around. Finally I was going the right direction and I had a guy on my butt and wouldn't get off. I finally sped up to get in front of the semi and i saw a police car. I was like crap. I was going 75 until I got in front and thats when I saw him hiding in the woods. I kept peeking behind and no police ever showed up behind me. Believe me he would have gotten a sob story from me. He didn't even pull over the car on my butt that took off once I was out of the way.

I should have been home in 25 minutes...it took me an hour. ICK! Next time I am making a U-Turn...
