I just got in from my trip and as I’m driving home, I start to get sleepy. I have to keep making myself stay awake. When we near home, I wake up the girls to get them ready to get out of the car and to have something to do that keeps me from falling asleep. Just after I say, “Wake up, we’re almost home.” My headlights catch a deer nursing her two fawns in the middle of the road! I swerved to avoid hitting them. It was the weirdest thing! Why in the world would she nurse in the middle of the street. It’s not like it’s a deserted road — it’s a well traveled road.
