Day 14!
So today is Saturday. I work Saturdays. Since preschool is not available on Saturday, Keira got to spend the day with my buddy Sterling's sister Meghan. (Nicest girl in the world. I couldn't have felt more comfortable leaving her with anyone else) I dropped her off at 7am before work. Meghan is apparently trying to steal Keira away because she had a day of fun planned for her that out-does anything I have ever come up with in my entire life. Work was a pain in the ass today but 9 hours later, I got through it. When I started my car to go pick up Keira, it almost didn't start. Had no idea why. I made it to Meghan's and learned that for the most part, Keira behaved herself and had a fun day. She even got to help feed Meghan's baby son Carter. It's all she talked about all evening. She brought home artwork and crafts she made. When I went to start my car from Meghan's, it REEALLY almost didn't start. At this point I realized something was botched so I decided to stop off at Auto Zone and test the battery. The dude there tested it and said it didn't have enough charge to even test it. He said if I took it out, they could charge it and see if that helped. I took it out (keep in mind its a million and five degrees out and I am now filthy) and brought it inside. He then told me it would take an hour to charge it. WTF I told him I have a hungry kid here and nowhere to go. I asked him to test the alternator, which he did and it tested out fine. I then decided to just buy a new battery. An hour and 100 bucks later, we were back on the road. We talked to mommy on the way home and then picked up McDonald's drive-thru for dinner. At this point it was 7:45 so we read some stories and she crashed. What a day. Anyone feel like inventing a beer delivery truck? I will be your first client...

ReplyDeleteLOL - Those are the days that make us stronger... or at least help us to realize that we can have it under control even in the worst scenario. :) Good Job Cam! -Carrie
