Is it Friday yet?

First of all, Thank you to the new followers I've gotten this week!

Each and every time I see my follower number go up, I click on it like it's Christmas morning, excited to see who the new person is.  I'm so glad you guys take the time to read about the stuff that goes on around here.  :)

We have had the craziest morning!  My sweet baby was late for school this morning, for the first time, and it was all my fault.  We were sort-of-kind-of running behind anyway; we try to get out of the house by 8 at the latest, but with a little hustle we could have made it okay.  (Time walking out of the door... 8:05)    BUT.. we walk outside to get in the car, and these huge dumpster truck things were blocking our driveway.  Today was large, bulky item pick up day, and I guess they were having a coffee break on our street because it took me about 5 minutes to get their attention for them to move.  UGH.   (Time pulling off of our street... 8:10.. at this point they're doing the announcements at the school).  About a block down the road, I notice my gas light is on.  It's been on the past 2 days actually, but I am horribly bad about not filling up my gas tank.  However, not only is my gas light on, but the little reading says LOW FUEL LEVEL.  I press the info button and I have O miles until empty.  Grrreat.  Remember how I said it was all my fault?  Yep. 

So, I probably could have made it the mile to the school with no problem.  The only question was if I could make it the mile to the school and then the additional 2 or so miles to the gas station.   So, I made the command decision to go get fuel before going to the school.  I swear, at every stop it seemed as if we had to wait an eternity before it was clear enough to turn.  We finally made it to the gas pump and I barely got 6 gallons in, trying to save time... which by the way, was still over $20.  Geez Louise, gotta love the gas prices right now.   We then managed to hit every red light (only 1, it just sounds more dramatic that way, haha) on the way to the school.  (final drop off time... 8:20, which means Brodie didn't actually make it into class until 8:25 ...the kid walks slow, lol).   A full ten minutes late.  Yay Mommy! 

Just for the sake of having a photo, I'll leave you with this.. It is a bit old now, but it is still a cutie..  Oldie but Cutie?  lol.

Thankfully, now we're home listening to the sweetest sound ever.  Five guys, on our roof, pounding away.  Yep, we're getting a new roof!  :)
