Long day!

Jeff and I had the weekend "off", the kids went to NY to visit grandparents. We had a great time - dinner with friends Friday, tailgating and the game with friends on Saturday, then Sunday after church all to ourselves!

I left home Monday morning to meet Jeff's mom in Erie - about half way. It takes about 3.5 hours for me to get there. I was almost to Erie when Barb called and said her ball joint on the car snapped and her wheel fell off! They were in Buffalo when it happened, but, thank God, they were stopped at a toll booth when it happened and nobody was hurt. I don't doubt that was a miracle!

A tow truck came to get them and I had to drive to Buffalo and meet them at a car shop. Meanwhile, Trey was sick as a dog, puking and diarrhea. I considered going back to our parents' to stay the night, or asking family in Jamestown if I could stay so that Trey could rest, but it seemed better to just get home. We did make it home, but I ended up being on the road for almost 12 hours.

Rough day!
