Literally moments after my last post T called me....the water pump shaft thingy broke off and they were stranded on the side of the highway!! Oh yeah and Carter pooed his pants...yuck. So I was instructed to call a tow truck.....easy right? WRONG!!! After figuring out the closest town I kept getting "Sorry sweety, shop ain' open on Sundays" or "Wish I could help but I'm outta town" in that great southern drawl. After 8 phone calls I burst into tears....I called Torrey in sobs feeling like a failure for not being able to help him as he is stranded with 3 road weary kids. Luckily a police car pulled up as I was calling and helped T get a tow truck and transport to a hotel for the night. THANK YOU MR. POLICE OFFICER!!! Later that evening I got a call from Torrey because he couldn't order pizza because the credit card was declined since he was not the primary card holder and he was so far from home! What?!? So I spent some time on the phone with the CC company so he could feed the kids. Carter later told me that this car came right to their door to bring the pizza (imagine his delight at a pizza deliver person!!!). The next day GREAT NEWS!!! The repair was covered under warranty!!! So they covered the repair and the $223 towing bill!!!!!! YEAH!!! On the rest of the way home they stopped to go potty and we had some more messing of pants by various members of our family. They pulled in around 11:30PM last night....Noah passed out on the couch, Carter was fussing because he wanted to go back and live at the hotel, and Wuby greeted me with many snuggles! Oh yeah and they all have colds :(
Back to being mom.....feels weird.
