Day in the rain

Today was one of those days that you can only laugh at.   Erick took Mason to his office and I took Miles to Lowes.  I left the house wearing two different shoes, very different - one black and one brown. I have never done this before (seriously!) and always wondered how people could actually do this.  Well now I know... it just happens.  I think it was a sign of how the rest of the day was going to be.  I probably should have just turned around and went home, but no not me.  After walking all over Lowes in my two different shoes, Miles and I decided to go to Taco Bell for some lunch.  This is the point where Miles starts to have some fun.  The great Cobb Odyssey van just died in the middle of Madison and Los Alamos!  Just died!!  It wouldn't move, and yes Mr. Tow Truck driver I have plenty of gas in the van.  I know because I have two different shoes on that I look like I am not all there upstairs, but I do have gas!

So this is what I found most amusing about today.  There I was standing on the side of a busy intersection, next to a van with the hazard lights flashing, HOLDING A SMALL CHILD, IN THE RAIN... and a couple pulls their car over next to me, NOT to ask if I am OK or if I need help but to ask me for directions!!!!!  What has happened to chivalry?  If it was a young guy in that car I think I would have told him he needs to come on Sunday to Kaleo to learn about Biblical masculinity!!!  If anything, I think this might make a good sermon illustration for Erick.  Well, obviously I made it home thanks to my cell phone, AAA, and my dear husband.

So, to all you young men, next time you see a woman next to a broken car, holding a small child, in the rain, First ask if she is OK and if she needs help.  Do not ask her to help you first.  NOT COOL!  And come on Sunday night to learn more about being a man!!  OK, I am going to drink some of Don's hot Korean tea and calm down and enjoy the wonderful rain =)
