Wow! What a full day...get ready, get set...go!
Good Start
I took the day off so that we could go to the "back-up" OBGYN for an appointment at 4 and get stuff done before that.
The Sign
We got the first couple layers of polyurothane down on the sign. We will just need to flip it over and coat the back also. It sounds like we will not have to be held to putting the sign up, which is good...because I am not that "handy".
The Day Goes Down Hill from Here, Fast!
First stop Taget
So we had bought this thing that goes on a booster car seat so that Gryphons head would not slump to the side if he fell asleep. It ended up pushing his head forward and being very uncomfortable and not preventing his head from slumping. So we had it for a while and we decided to return it to target. I go in and of course forget my Debit card which is how we bought it. So we either have to exchange it right there or come back later with my card. i deceide to wait as we are under some time contraints and we still have to go food shoping.
Trust your feelings
So we head back toward Fresh Fields and find a police detour at the light we need to make a left onto, the light we were just at 5 minuts ago. So we go toward home and there is another detour at the next light. They are not letting anyone come down the road we are comeing out of. At this point we figure there is an accident and Sarah mentions that maybe we should just scrap the food shopping for now. No, not us. We loop back around and head toward 309 to come in to Whole Foods from the other side. We hit traffic and allot of it. Now we know its an accident. there is a helicopter hovering near where the 309 intersection would be if we were close enought to see it. We turn on KYW and here that it is a jackknifed tractor trailer. Oh yhea...
Where there is Smoke...
...There is fire! More like mental and pschological fire...or a fire bomb. So we are sitting there in the traffic and smoke starts to rise from the hood, f!@#! We find a road through an industrial park and the movement keeps the smoke down. We end up on the other road to fresh fields and run into another Police blockade. We tell him we are just trying to get to Whole Foods and he ltes us through. I pop the hood and there is a small crack in the plastic part on top of the radiator. We decide to do the shopping if nothing else to let the traffic die down. While inside we here that the truck that crashed was a tanker truck and it spilled 8000 gallons of Aspalt... The traffic is not going to be letting out anytime soon. So we work our way back out to the road and with the heater blasting, it's supposed to help keep the heat off of the engine we sit throught the traffic and make it home with no more smoke.
It figures the car does this since it gets inspected on Friday and we were planning/ budgeting on nothing being wrong with it...
Long Car Ride to the OBGYN
So, we get home and switch cars and make the long haul to Lankeneua hospital. If there were an emergency this would not be the place we would want to have to make a trip to. So long story short. The guys was very nice very pro-homebirth, respected our choices, blah, blah. Sounds like this guy was nicer than the guy our friend Amy went to.
Ease into the Night
If not for the leaky radiator I guess the day would not ahve been that horrible. i did get 4 coats on the sign and then we watched 2 episodes of Little House on Prarie for G. he was such a good sport with al of the running around.
I finished rewriting my English paper and messed around with Suse a little. We take the Stanza in for the inspection tomorrow.
This is more to write but...I am getting tired of writing so I am done.
