ouch

yesterday was one crazy day. We had to wake up early and leave for Fargo to get fingerprinted for the adoption. We tried to leave at 6:30 but didn't get out of town till just after 7. and that with a low tire. i had tried to air it up at the gas station but their air chuck was frozen. We drove to the next town and they didn't have air so we drove another 30 miles on a very low tire. tried to air my tire up in glenwood and their air chuck was frozen so all i did was let still more air out of my tire. i forgot to say it was 25 below our with a slight wind chill. I decided that we couldn't leave glenwood with that little air pressure so we drove to yet another gas station as found one more frozen air chuck. however, they nice lady working there directed us to a tire shop about 3 blocks away and they served us up right. Finally on our way. NOPE, by this time Karna was car sick so we had to sit on the side of the road for a bit so she could recover and not loose what little she had already eaten. Once we got going, the rest of that trip was fine, actually good, met a bosnian family working on LEGAL immigration and got to take shelly J out for lunch. then the 3.5 hour drive home, if you include my little cat nap on the side of the road.

now for the really painful part. trying to get the fire going when we got home, i had a heavy log spring loose and roll over on my thumb, momentarily trapping it against the side of the steel furnace door (not hot yet) and creating a 1/2 dime size blood blister under my thumb nail. Then we went to youth group and i left right a way for a serious head on car accident about a block or two away. One fellow was trapped in his pickup and not doing well at all while the other driver was suffering from painful but minor injuries. After that, i got back in time to say good bye to the youth group kids as they went home, and i was starting to get sick from being out side with out a hat.

so anyway, where your seat belt!
