One of those mornings...

None of our went off this morning for some reason.

So I rolled out of
quite late. Realizing I only had 20 minutes to get Calli ready for school. And she was still sleeping! That NEVER happens either. (she's up before the sun normally!)
Sooo.. got teeth brushed, got her dressed and fed, and hair brushed and we had less than 2 minutes to get her to school. So for the first time ever i figured it didn't matter that i was still wearing my

And my

just to take her two blocks to

and since i was just going to drop her off at the curb, it didn't matter THAT much that my hair looked like this....

I'm sure you moms have been in that situation before, riiigghhtt??

Well..... who knew that TODAY would be the day that my mommy van decided to bite the dust?

And have a little electrical fire on the way back home??

There was literally about that much smoke! I can still taste it in my throat.. it's such a stinky acrid smell.. burning rubber and electrical malfunction... snot good!

There i was.

Standing out there in my jammies and slippers.

Hair doin it's own freaky wacked out thing.

Car smokin away

Cars driving by and staring

me freaking out

just a little

praying flames didn't start to leap out of the hood, and praying it was just smoke

(because that makes sense, right? there's not always fire where there's smoke - right? right?)

Called danny in a bit of a panic

i was only about a block from our house

honey.. i think my car is on fire!?

can you come??

he raced over and saved the day!

my hero!!

then he ran home and grabbed some rope, and rope towed me the block to the house.

and then i called the

and now my poor mommy van is sitting at the dealership, waiting to be looked at.

still no news on what happened, or how much it will be to fix.

ugh

at least it wasn't snowing!

and thankful that it wasn't worse - like flames leaping!

and of course

that i had jammie PANTS on, and not jammie SHORTS!! :p

and Jesus had my back yet again!

very thankful i wasn't on a busy street when it happened

where i wouldn't have been able to pull over so quickly and kill the engine.

oh wait.. kill's probably not a great word choice.

STOP the engine. yah. that's better.

So all in all i am just thankful it wasn't worse!

but for now, just waiting to hear how my old faithful van is doin!

Hope you have a blessed day!

And remember.. that ONE time you decide it really won't matter if you don't get dressed to run an errand.... you can bet that THAT IS when the odds'll change!!

LOLOLOL!
