Sad day

My brother left for Iraq today. May god watch over him while he is gone.

The airport and Lowe's

Our day started off unlike most Sundays for us.. we slept in. At 9:30 Kaitlyn's dad called to tell me that her plane was pulling away from the terminal... which meant my baby was on her way home. Around 10 we decided to start getting ready... I showered while Don gave Will a bath. Then while Don was in the shower I decided to check Kaitlyn's flight. I checked my email for her flight information to see that she was to land at 12:50.... no problem.. we have plenty of time to get to Nashville. (which is about an hour and half drive to the airport) Then I found a flight tracker website and noticed that her plane would not land at 12:50 but at 12:25. YIKES!!!! It's 10:30 now and we still have to finish getting ready. We took off and all I could think of was she would get off the plane and I wouldn't be standing there and she would start crying. I am always standing there waiting for her and able to see her coming from the plane... what would happen if I wasn't there.



Don drove fast ( I was afraid to see how fast) in order to get us to the airport in time. I was afraid there would be a line to get a pass, nobody there... however there was a horrible line at the security check in. I started asking people if I could get in front of them since her plane would be there in 10 minutes. I was in a panic!



By the time I got to the terminal, I waited about 5-10 minutes before it got to the terminal.... I was exhausted and out of breath by the time I got there because I ran some of the way. but I made it with time to spare to use the bathroom.



Then we made a stop to eat and do some shopping. We decided to go to Home Depot and Lowe's on our way home since I was looking for something for our garden. Didn't find what we were looking for at Home Depot so we head over to Lowe's. In Lowe's I walk in the front door and head straight for the bulbs. Then I turn to find Don and the kids but saw someone else.... I ran right into Jackie and Noah! That was a treat.

now I am home and the kids are in bed... it will be a long day tomorrow with getting Kaitlyn back on schedule plus having softball and soccer practice tomorrow night.

Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn comes home today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited! She ahs been gone the week to her dad's and I am so glad she is coming home. I have missed her so much!

Spring break

Today is the last day of my spring break.... I think I have gotten enough accomplished over my break. I have cleaned the kids' rooms and worked on my coupons. I have them all clipped and now I can do my shopping with ease adn my coupon binder.

Now I just have to finish cleaning the house.... I want the house straight before going back to work on Monday.


Tomorrow is the day that Kaitlyn leaves for her dad's for a week. I will have to put her on a plane to her dad's and then wait for him to call me to tell me she got there safe. Also tomorrow is the last get together with my brother at his house before he leaves for Iraq for a year.

Ok I need to clean the living room and den... both kids dropped some of their supper on the floor in both rooms last night.

My day today....

This morning I left for work. I was running a few minutes late and still needed to drop Will off at daycare. As I was nearing the end of our road, my cell phone beeped letting me know I had a text. I start slowing down for the stop sign and glance at my phone. The next thing I know my car won't move... I had dropped off the pavement with one tire. I tried to back out from the ditch however I was in a part of the road that has a big dropoff onto a tile. I called DH to come help get me out of the ditch and waited for him. One gentleman stopped to help (retired cop) and stayed with me until Dh got there. Once Dh got there, he tried himself to back out of the ditch and then had me get in to drive my car while him and the other man pushed the car out of the ditch. At one time the back tire of my car was off the road about 2 feet. They got my car out of the ditch and I was able to drive to work. The only damage to my car is a scratch near the tire. Once I got on my way, I met a deputy with lights and sirens. I thought that maybe there was a wreck out the road. I really didn't think anything about it since it had been raining and the roads were wet. I also met an ambulance once I got into town. I finally made it to work late.. I had called in to let them know that I was running late... that I had car trouble. It was a very hectic day at work and my assistant principal looked at me at one time and said bad day to be running late... I told him what had happened and he started laughing. Then fast forward to dh getting home tonight. He worked late tonight dispatching for the ambulance service. He then told me that the paramedic on duty today wanted me to know that I was the beginnning of a bad day for her. Apparently someone drove by and called in a really bad wreck. I was the one the deputy and ambulance was looking for. Dh saw the ambulance and noticed they were looking for someone this morning. He then turned on his radio and heard them say that they hadn't found the wreck yet. He called EMS and asked them about the wreck they were looking for... and told them about me running off the road. He also heard the deputy say that he was at the state line and hadn't found it yet. He called the sherriff's office to see if they were looking for my car. They were.So that was my day... hope your day was better!
