Thank you Good Samaritan....

Had a flat (almost) when I came out of the bank. Had 5 minutes to pick Tetee up from school. Got her in time. A good Samaritan at the gas station filled the tire up with air while I dug for the 75 cents the machine wanted. Bless him!!! then to Goodyear to hear that they could fit me into their schedule tomorrow afternoon..... (sorry I couldn't schedule the leak for a better time! LOL)... Fellow sent me to Sears 'right across the street' ~ that I never did find.... I asked for "real" directions... since I am totally unfamiliar territory.... drove around in circles.... Tomtom blurting directions at every intersection... Found Midas.... Thank you God!! Midas was able to find the leak ~ there was a flat sharp piece of metal in the tire~ fix the tire ~ provided a little play place for the 2 littles ~ I had gone thru the McD's drive thru (and they forgot the Ranch dressing in BOTH sets of nuggets) so they did have something to do ~ but Midas got the tire fixed and pulled the car close for us. Thank you Midas!

Then on to Target... oh... and did I mention that it is raining cats and dogs thru all the get in the car, get out of the car, buckle carseats, unbuckle carseats.... and I did buy an umbrella at Target!!! so that was my story from 10:40 - 1:30!!

Better than best news is that .... Makk is out of surgery... it went from 10 - after 1 pm.... and he isn't out of Recovery yet... but he is safely out of surgery. I feel a bit disappointed because they didn't find any obvious reason for his digestive paralysis.. I was so hoping they would look and do a "House" thing as say .... 'oh, no wonder, and we can fix this right now'. Unrealistic -I know ~ The tube is in, the wrap is done, the specialists all got their peeks of his insides... just waiting ~ still praying for a merciful recovery period. What trauma for an 8 year old....

Some day I will type up the story of my drive North... LOL...
