STILL Trying to LEAVE

It is 10 a.m. as I write this update.
We FINALLY left about 8 . . . . stopped for gas. Found out a tire on the trailer was put on backwards so stopped and switched it.
Got a quick bite to eat.
Then stopped at a Starbuck's for coffee before hitting the highway.
At which point, the engine began to squeal. It smelled hot. It shut down.
So, we called a tow truck (thank goodness for AAA). We are all back home now while the van is taken to the nearby mechanic. Now begins the wait on what is wrong with it, how much it will cost and how long it will take to fix it. I really, really, really want it to be later today but don't have a lot of hope for it.
So, we are back home and the kids are falling asleep and I am trying to decide what to do to make it still feel like a fun day because you know what? So far, it sure hasn't.
Stay tuned.

I know it's a week later, but I'd think that being home with your own bed and bath is at least a consolation. And, hey, at least you had AAA to the rescue!

And you don't have to worry about any school schedules, right?! So you can go on vacation whenever you want to. So, I guess there's a bright side or three...

Which isn't to say I don't sympathize with you. And empathize!
