I planed to go to my brothers house this weekend to plan our coming road trip, but the plan got changed to sunday night because I had volleyball and bowling this saturday and then a breakfast at church on sunday morning. oh well!
so I haven’t posted anything in a long time so o.k. here it is ………………………………. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
are you ready for another one, here it comes.
I finished a nine to six day at work and I was looking forward to watching Luke’s three kids that Tabetha had dropped off at my work. everything was going fine we had supper and I talked on the phone a little while then I got the kids ready for bed. I finally got them in bed and the music on, lights out and then the phone rang………
It was Ruth, she quickly explained to my horror that she was on the way to moms house and the car had a flat tire and when they finished changing it the battery had died and she needed my to come and jump it. Me being eighteen and crazy anyway told her that I would get there as quickly as I could. So in seven minuets I had aroused a five, three and a two year old and had their shoes and coats on and in the truck. Anna Marie prayed that we wouldn’t get in trouble too and we were off. one hour later we were at the place Ruth said that they were. I didn’t see them there so we kept going. Ruth called just then and asked me were I was. At 172 were are you?? She said we are on the side of the road with the flashers on { all the battery still had I guess }. I know I haven’t past you yet then, I replied. twelve miles later I found them on the side of the road I pulled over in front of them and another problem soon came in my mind. How was I going to turn around to give the car a jump? there was a slope to the right and a high way to the left. problem!!!!!! I decided to go to the right and risk not getting out of the ditch, not a real problem right?
thankfully it wasn’t, the tires spun but we made it out and we didn’t hit the trees ether even though Anna Marie thought we were about to. We only had one more problem, finding a place to turn around on the high way. The first place to turn around was for police only but I saw it to late to make it anyway, the next exit was 152. We actually made this one!!!
We were finally one the way home!!!!! peter and phillip were sleeping by then and a few minuets later so was Anna Marie. we were about half an hour away from home and on a back road when phillip the three year old randomly started to cough and then cry in his sleep. I stopped as soon as I could to check on him. I woke him up and he still didn’t stop crying. Now he started wheezing in between his crying, definitely not good!!!!. I took his coat off and tried to cool him off, I notest it was very warm in the truck and I have trouble sleeping and breathing when I am warm. So I turned on the AC and put him in his car seat, he went back to sleep by the time we made it home. I got them in bed and had just laid doun on my own bed when I looked at the clock 11:55 pm and then it happened ……………………. I exclaimed in a little more than whisper….. I have to wake up at 4:45 tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found out this after noon that my back passenger tire of my truck was flat. I know it was fine last night at church so I must have put a hole in it on the way home from church and by this morning the tire was flat. It was a good thing I was off today it really would have been bad at five thirty in the morning to fined that I had a flat.
