100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups - Week #171 ...I can't decide when to change...

This makes twice in one week that I'm making an attempt at writing fiction.  This post will be linked to Julia's blog hop 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups - Week #171 ... I can't decide when to change... The challenge here is to write exactly 100 words to tell your story.

With her work and packing, she'd been going in circles for weeks before she boarded the plane. The flight was long, but she was able to get some rest even though there was a crying child several seats back.  It was a last minute decision to rent a car upon arriving.  She didn't want to burden her hostess.  She took a couple of deep breaths and settled in behind the wheel.  She felt some frustration when she soon found herself going in yet another circle and mumbled, "I can't decide when or how to change lanes in this round about!"

If you want to see what others have written in response to this challenge, be sure to check out Julia's blog.  If you enjoy this kind of challenge join in on the fun.
