Rylee, Devynn and I went shopping. On the way home, as I turned off the freeway in the rain, the truck decided to start hydroplaning and then fishtailing!
Rylee, from the back seat: "Mom, what are you doing?"
She thought I was intentionally driving like an idiot!
Thankfully, I was the only car that was exiting then and there wasn't any other traffic so I didn't hit anyone. And I somehow managed to stop us from sliding into the traffic that was stopped at the light on the other side of the road. But it was rather scary for a minute there! Yikes!!
Yesterday Fun Time Part 2:
Last night we decided we were going to go out to dinner and then pick up a Christmas tree on the way home. The kids were all excited!! So we went out for some chinese food...Yummy!...and then loaded our whole gang up in the truck to drive to the tree lot. Everything was all good...until Ryan tried to start the truck. The battery had decided to die! And of course our jumper cables weren't in the truck. And the only person we could get ahold of had loaned his out and they were never returned. Plus, it was raining. So we called AAA. One hour, and a billion games of "I spy" with the kids later, the tow truck came and jumped us. But he said that as soon as we turned the truck off, the battery would lose the charge because we needed a new one.
So we drove across the street to the tree lot. I stayed in with the engine running while Ryan took the kids to find a tree. A minute later they came back empty handed. Apparently the sign that says "We've Gone Full Discount" was a lie.
So we decided to drive down to the parts store and get a new battery. Thankfully they had the one we needed in stock. YAY!! Once Ryan had switched them out, we drove down to Lowe's to find our perfect tree.
Except their Christmas tree lot was closed.
So we drove across town to Home Depot. They were open! They had trees! The kids found one they loved! We bought it! We are now the proud owners of one fine noble fir Christmas tree. :)
