It has taken me a little bit to get this all typed up. Not proofread...but I think you will enjoy "My Thursday"...

Started out ok ended comically/horribly

~ Got gas in my car
~ Went to take baby Skyler to vet. Vet is in another town 10 miles away.
~ On the way there, semi pulled out in front of me (had to avoid collision)
~ Semi only drove 45 mph on the highway
~ After semi pulled off, 2 miles down road ended up behind farm truck going 40 mph
~ Late to vet
~ Skyler may need surgery if medicine does not work
~ Drive back~got behind a truck pulling a hay rack with nothing on it – the rack was flying everywhere on both sides of the road. All afraid to pass.
~ Told Skyler we should make it home about noon. Just in time for lunch.
~ Got into town. 2 ½ blocks from home, stopped by train
~ Waited for 15 minutes.
~ Pulled in driveway at 12:10pm

Here’s where my day goes WAY downhill………..

~ In one motion, Skyler pulled me & my purse out of car towards Vegas, our cat, door locks pushed and door slammed. Keys were still in car.
~ Tried to call husband at work. Phone busy for 15 minutes.
~ Gave up.
~ Called daughter at school – she was between classes. Explained to the office secretary the situation that I was stranded and needed her as a last resort.
~ Bridget called back – didn’t understand what was going on – but came home
~ She let me put Skyler in the house
~ I walked out with her because I would need her car to continue with my errands that day – she wondered what the heck I was doing. She acted like I didn’t know how to drive her car.
~ Expl I would pick her up from school (another errand!)
~ Drove her back to school
~ Got gas in her car – she had 1/8 of a tank
~ Picked up other daughter from school
~ Took her to dr’s appt
~ Went to pharmacy
~ Took Cindy home
~ Went to pick up Bridget
~ Went to pick up husband from school
~ Walked in the door at home at 6pm – 6 hours in and out of car!
