Well, what an interesting morning!  Went out to start the car to take the kids to school, and it wouldn't start!  We have a battery charger, but, the problem is thus......  This fall, our bushes needed trimming, Hubby was supposed to do it but never got around to it, so in December, I decided to do it myself.  I accidently cut through the extension chord.  Soooo......  Hubby told me not to buy a new one, because he was going to fix it.  Well, guess what, yep he never did.  So I had a way to get the car started, but had no extension chord to use it.  So my two oldest had to walk to school.  You would almost think I asked them to climb Mt Everest!  I mean I know it was cold, that is why the car wouldn't start,and I had to walk up to Kroger to buy a new extension chord!  So big whop.  So I walked up to Kroger (about half a mile), bought the new chord and walked home.  Charged the battery, got my youngest to school (she can't walk as it is about 10 miles to her school, less than a mile to the high school) one hour late!  GRRRR!!!! So anyway, went to my 6 mile run, had breathing problems in the first mile, probably due to stress and the really cold air outside.  But I used my inhailer and was able to get back on track, so did 6 miles in about 73 minutes, not too bad, did 2 big hills (8% grade).  So the day I suppose is getting better.  Sometimes you gotta laugh so you don't cry.

This journal brought back a memory of when I was in high school. It was my senior year, 1989, and I had a friend who was always late for school. He had a car and drove to school, but he was late almost everyday. The school finally contacted his parents and for punishment, his dad woke him one morning at 3 a.m., and told him that since he could not DRIVE to school and be on time, he could WALK to school and see how that worked out. This was also in the winter but it was probably like 30 to 40 degrees out, and he walked 8 miles to school. When he got there, his dad was sitting in the parking lot waiting on him. He did get his driving rights back, but he was on time after that situation.
