Ok, admit it, you know there has been a time in your life (if not everyday like me!) that you know you need to do something and you just keep putting it off. This is the story of one such times...
A couple of weeks ago, Aaron and I took the kids to visit his parents in Huntington. The van was getting low on gas so I told myself we would just get some when we got back to Fort Wayne (50 miles later). Usually when my "Low Fuel" light comes on I've got at least 60-70 miles before I MUST get gas. When we got home, my sister Mary called me to see if I wanted to go to the hospital to see Tim's (our brother) new baby. Of course I wanted to, who wouldn't. I told her that I needed to get gas but that we'd probably be fine until we got to the gas station by the hospital. This would not be a problem if you don't make any additional stops on the way!!! Mary wanted to stop by a friend's house and pick up some movies, which we did. It was only about 5 minutes (and 1 mile) out of our way. So, we're driving along and sure enough as you've probably already figured out, we run out of gas, LESS THAN 1 MILE FROM THE GAS STATION!!! I was completely embarrassed, but not Mary, she jumped out of the van and started pushing it while I steered. I turned into the gas station and had to get up a hill, which I couldn't because as everyone knows you can't coast UP hill. There happened to be a really nice kid out changing the trash bags in the parking lot. He looked at me and I said "You need to come over here and help us." He already knew that, he was already walking toward us. The attendant inside the building had the nerve to tell Mary that she looked tired when she came in to buy a water!! He was kidding of course!! So, it was so histerical and yet so humiliating all in one!! Let that be a lesson to you all, don't procrastinate!!!!
