We're home after 26 hours of driving (13 hours to N.C. and 13 back), and I am surprisingly relaxed after spending so much time behind the steering wheel. I drove the entire trip, and here's why. I drive the way I do everything: fast. And Gary drives the way he lives: slow and steady. So, if I want to get somewhere quickly (which I always do) I drive.
In a way, I'm also the driving force in our family. I wanted to have a baby, and we did. I wanted to accept a job that would take us to Florida, and so we moved. Gary has been a driving force in other respects. He wanted to get married, and we wed. He wanted to own a house, and we did. So, maybe we take turns steering the family.
It's all me. I mow the lawn, hold the remote, decide what's for dinner. He just brings home the bacon. He's cute, though.

When it comes to driving the car, it's pretty much always me. Everything else is her.
