To my day??? It started off so great, to bad it didn't end that way!! Went walking bright and early, went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned, swimming and piano lessons went off with out a hitch. Left piano to return my rented lens and thought. I paid to rent this lens, I should really use it some more. We stopped of at Tempe Town Lake. Had a blast with my three oldest kids playing and shooting pics. Got in the car and the day was shot. Tried to get the key to turn. NO such luck. Tried for an hour, all the tricks I know for when the key sticks. Nothing works.... I am hot and out of patience. I called my sick husband to come rescue me. He called his Sister to sit with the littles and he came to my rescue. By this point my kids can't stop pestering me and each other. They are wired and fighting and NOT listening. They are tired and hungry. Layne had no better luck than I did. I called my friend to whine and she volunteered her Triple A benefits to us. Getting those tomorrow,by the way. They sent a tow truck. WRONG kind. We can't get the key to even turn so there is no putting it in gear. Run to Home Depot to see if a new key will help trip the switch and it will turn over, no luck there. Kids getting more restless by the minute. Wait another hour for the tow truck and they send the WRONG kind again. We had even explained the situation. We fed the kids a Burger King dinner on the grass. They loved it, we watched the wind shoot ripples through the water and the purple sun set.Got a little slap happy at times.
So it wasn't all bad. Our Great Friend MV graciously offered to stay and wait for the THIRD tow truck and didn't get home until 9:30. Our car is parked at her house and needing to be towed to the shop in the morning.I am ready to fall into my bed, and NOT repeat todays excitement for a LONG while. Hope the hit on the pocket book is small. I am sure it won't be, but I can hope, right?????

huge bummer! here's hoping it doesn't break the bank to get it fixed. SUPER LAME on the tow truck mishaps. 3 of them seriously lame!
you can hope, but you own a tank remember.lol
sorry your day wasn't great! but look at those little tikes.. whether or not we have bad days, they know no difference, fun times anywhere~
Hey! this story makes me tired just reading it! Glad you finally got it taken care of!
Well I tried calling your house earlier and now I know why noone was home! =0)
I was wondering if you could give me a call tomorrow. I have girls camp next week, and wanting to know if you would be interested in providing respite for our itty bitty guy? Thought I'd ask you first before calling the agency. Anyway, talk to you soon! Have a great night!
Ugh!! I hate days like those! At least you got some cute pics.
OH YUCK!! That is no fun. But I'm glad that you made the most of it with the dinner on the grass and some funny stuff. ;)
That MV is good to have around!!
It looks like you were able to get a few smiles out of a bad time! I hope today is better and the pocket book doesnt suffer too bad!
That is psycho! You sound like you were a lot calmer than I would've been.....I hate it when inanimate things, like cars, don't work for dumb reasons. It seriously puts me over the anger edge so quick! Hope it gets fixed and doesn't happen again!
Big bummer, I hope its a small fix.
Love the craziness of the photo, it sums it all up so nicely!
