Keeping up with the Schusters: One of those days!

I had an AH-MAZING time last night with my gf's at pre- and post- back to school night cocktails. E and his buddies are all going to school on Mondays, cannot wait! This morning E and I woke up, came down stairs and ate breakfast and chatted. Read some books, then got dressed and ready for our play date! Got everything packed and ready and headed out the door. It starts pouring, so I open the umbrella and E promptly decides to sit on our soaked welcome mat. I pick him up quickly and head to the car, wet bottom and all. Start heading over to Kiddie Crusoe and get stuck in a terrible traffic jam. Dead. Standstill. Traffic. I quickly call Sarah and let her know we might be running late and avoid 83 at all costs.
E and I decided to sing "if your happy and you know it" to pass the time. Traffic jam over and we still have plenty of time to make it to KC but not Starbucks as well...darn. I am trucking along 83 at a decent clip and feel that my car is running funny. Humm...it was running funny a few days ago and Brian determined that water from our great flood maybe got into the gas tank. It hadn't had any problems since. So I figure that its happening again. I pick up the phone as I coast over to the shoulder to call Brian and ask for advice. Then I look down and see the GLARING fuel light. I quickly hang up the phone. Dear god, I have run out of gas. In my 16 year tenure as a driver...this has never happened. I quickly pick up the phone and call Sarah! I explain the situation and she got on top of it immediately. She made a quick u-turn to the nearest gas station and rented a can and got gas then zipped back on to 83 to find our sad wayward car. She arrived like a knight in shining armor and we took prob 10 minutes to figure the darn can out. Got a good amount of gas on my hands, and 90% into the car. We jump in and quickly call each other to plan our entrance back onto 83. 30 minutes later than planned we arrive at KC. The kids run around like sillies and have a great time. We pack them up and head to lunch ONLY to find that the darn ice cream machine is OUT. Its just one of those days. xoxo

On a side note, how awesome is Sarah! Didn't even hesitate when I called and told her what was going on! I met her a year ago and I feel like I have known her forever. Needless to say, I owe her huge. Like, Starbucks and lunch.
