I was doing SO well with posting everyday for the month. Then the car ruined it for me. *sigh*

Yesterday we went to Atlanta for the Indie Craft Experience and on the way home, we broke down. We were about 120 miles from home but I figured oh no biggie, we have roadside assistance coverage! And then the insurance company tells me we are covered for towing for only 24 miles. We were on the interstate, with no power (the alternator and battery both died), with kids in the car. After a few minutes of negotiation, I got them to pay a little more when a highway patrolman pulls up behind us. He ended up giving us a jump and said if we felt confident we could go as far as we wanted and if we broke down again on the interstate, he would find us because that was his section. We ended up going another 50 miles before the car died again.

After a few more hours and waiting at closed gas stations – seriously, gas stations close? I thought everyone stayed open 24/7 these days – we got a tow home and arrived around 2:30AM.

Too late for me to post for that day. Bummer.

I did come home with excellent crafts and I will share more about all of those, this week!

There are days when everything seems like it went so right – and when it is followed by a day that was just oh so bad, it is even better. Today was one of those right days. I got four more rows on the baby blanket done and most of the house cleaned – and cleaning the house is never fun for me (ha, is it fun for anyone?) so when I can do it and it seems like it took minutes, that’s awesome.

The kids and I ran a couple of errands and there was no traffic, even though we left when work was getting out and it’s a Friday night. We were able to get to the post office in just the same amount of time as always. And we didn’t spend a lot at the grocery store, still got what we needed and got a good deal on milk (the milk we usually buy they were out of plus it is a dollar cheaper then the milk that was there – but they gave it to us for the other price!).

My roommate from college showed up a bit after dinner and we’ve spend the past four or so hours just talking. She’s awesome, she’s a track coach at a college on the east coast and even though we are a few hours from each other this is the second time we’ve visited since we’ve been in this area! We are leaving very early tomorrow and she is too. She’s going to stop back by on her way home in a couple of days so we’ll get to see each other one more time before we move.

Yesterday was rough. It seemed like everything that had been piled up hit me all at the same time. Today I was able to breathe a little easier.
