So yesterday was an adventerous day. On the way to work the light for gas goes off, so i tell myself "self, you will have to get gas after you pick the girls up from daycare later in the day" so off to work i went. (side note: this week has just been a horrible work for me) but after work i am thinking as usual all the stuff that i needed to do when i got home (laundry, dishes, baths, prepare for tomorrows precalc lesson, come up with something to do with my zero period) you know the usual stuff. So i pick up Peyton (remembering that i still needed to get gas but it was after i pick up Mia right before i get to the freeway) So Peyton and I head to go pick up Mia and then after picking up Mia, i start to hear about her day, who she played with, who her best freinds are today, hear all the sand come out of her shoes and dump into the carpet in front of her and jump on the freeway heading home. Yup totally forgetting about the need to get gas even though the buzzer went off when i started the car. So we are driving on the freeway 22, 405, 605 ( yah i have to take 4 freeways to get to and from work, got to love LA), and there on the 605 the car starts acting funny (OMG) i forgot to get gas. Now remind you i have both girls 3, and almost 2 in the car with me as i pull off the freeway and make it thru the first light to the bridge overpass where the car completely stops. Luckily making it to the side of the road. So after a few choice words and a bit of banging my head on the steering wheel for my stupidity ( i sord of felt like Dobby torturing myself for my mistakes, yes I little bit from an avid harry potter reader). So this is where the fun begins.
The girls and i jump out of the car, peyton in the stroller, mia walking (luckily the girls were awesome thru this whole ordeal) and we begin our leisurely stroll down the street to find a gas station. As we climb to the top of the overpass we see one just down the hill, so pushing the umbrella stoller and holding Mia's hand we head to the gas station, fill up a tank (given to us by the gas attendant thank you Jesus) and then we head back to the car. This was the more difficult part of the trip walking while holding the huge gas tank (did i mention it was probably a ten gallon tank, only filled up a bit but still awkward and heavy) We get back to the car, the girls pile in and start watching the froggy movie ( thank goodness for a TV in the car, it definetly came in useful yesterday). I filled up a bit, while pouring gas all over myself and the car becuase again being blond i couldnt figure out how to get the gas out of the stupid tank)
Finally filling up again at the gas station and heading towards home.
Whatever, you do dont put off getting gas!!!!!!
