last 30 min.....

Of work, that is! I cant wait to go home and be with my family!

Yesterday, as you all may or may not know, was Father's Day! It was the Hubs first and of course, he ate it up! I Reagan got her daddy the cutest card with a little girl that had red hair! It was perfect. He seemed to really love it! Other than that...this weekend was RIDICULOUS!!! So fun!

We started off on Friday...I got off work, headed to wal-mart to pick up some last minute things for our planned a week in advance trip to Columbus, GA to visit the hubs' bro and his wife. Well, as I am walking toward the cash register to check out my hand-full of items, Hubs calls and says "We are not going to Columbus......" and begins to explain why we "are not going"! Naturally because I am JUST LIKE MY MOTHER I flip out b-c we had planned this trip a week in advance and for someone to change their mind the DAY OF really irks me. So, in a fit of rage without embarassing myself in public I throw down my hand full of items on the shelf below a stack of turquoise and magenta colored towels and storm out of Wal-mart. Hubs ended up calling me on my way home and asking me to pick up some formula for Reagan....soo, I HAD to go to Wal-mart again, it was the closest store on my way home, and NO I did not got to the same one. The first one was in the ghetto the second was in the country... major difference in merchandise and people groups. Anywho...I get her formula and hubs calls me in the middle of my shopping frenzy on the baby aisle and says.."Well we are going to Columbus, so come home and pack..." A little irritated that I drove all the way to this secondary Wal-mart and had to go back home, I checked out, asked the Cashier lady that I wanted to purchase a Children's Hospital balloon thing and she forgot to ring it up, as did I as I was walking out of the store, and got in my car and headed home. Home....where I find my father-in-law trying to fix the A/C [that's been out since last month and he refuses to call anybody except the ONE guy he ALWAYS calls...and he's sick, so we are stuck in a 85 degree house all the time when it's only 10-20 degrees hotter outside! ...] Home...where I find hubs washing cars. Home......finally, I'm home. [FYI: It's now about 2:30...I got off work at 12!] I begin packing my clothes for Columbus....I help my FIL "fix" the A/C by yelling out of our bedroom window for hubs to "TURN IT ON!" and then yelling "OFF!!!!" ( the WATER HOSE....yes, FIL was squirting A/C with the water hose...do not ask me what he was doing...I was just helping.) After that fiasco....water is all over the hallway, in the bathroom, and FIL is dripping from head to toe with either sweat from the house being 95 degrees or water from the water hose... At any rate, I proceed to the packing of my bags.

Hubs and I get the car loaded and off we head to Columbus...we got 15 miles down the road and our piece of crapolla car started stuttering and we pulled off to the side of the road....35 minutes later FIL comes and rescues us. We then conclude that Hubs and I will ride on one of the GAZILLIONS motorcycles they have under the carport and the In-laws will ride behind us in their not so crappy car....worked GREAT! UNTIL...Hubs and I headed home FROM Columbus....We got all the way to Opelika...after being lost on the way home...pulled off for gas tried to crank the bike up and nothing happened..so hubs pushed it off to a parking space in front of said gas station and we head over to McDonald's..PRAISE JESUS there was a McDonald's next door...It was 9 am and I was without shower and without food. (we left early to make it back home in time to shower and get ready for Father's Day church....so much for that!) We ate some biscuits and I had a Mcafe' iced Mocha....with burned coffee it was DELICIOUS!.....Hubs walked back over to the gas station and got the bike cranked up...and we headed home!
...Thsi escipade continues later... About to go home! :o)
