Thats what the gas station attendent told me. "It's your lucky day".
I was on my way at a roundtable meeting and realised that I was on empty. I pull onto the main street and the cell phone rings. It's my mom ans she starts telling me that there are lines a block long at all the gas stations that still have gas. I say "What!?" And she tells me that they are driving around trying to find gas and they are not having any luck. Shoot! I tell her that I'm on my way to get some gas now and that I will call her if I have any problems.
Sure enough there at the station I was heading to there was a long line of cars so I go a little further down 41 to the next station...they are all out. I am finally convinced I will be late for my meeting and I pull into one of the line at the third station I came to.
So I'm waiting in line and Baby starts fussing. I try talking to him but he has worked himself up a bit. We pull ahead a few feet and the attendant says to me "It's your lucky day, your gas tank is on the right side of your car so I want you to pull right up there." Right up there just happened to be up to the pump behind just one truck. Meanwhile the cars that I was behind in the line are three cars behind me now. I felt a little guilty but glad!
Another attendant pumped my gas and took my money. It took $38.00 to fill it up while last week it only took $32.00. I paid $2.64 last week and last night it was $2.89. Wow I sure hope this does not last too long. I am already broke and I don't need anymore expenses.
I did make it to rountable and everyone enjoyed Baby being there. He smiled and laughed a bunch.But after about an hour he had tuckered out and got fussy again so I snuck out the door and headed home. There were still lines at the gas stations on my way home at 9:30pm
I have a leaders meeting tonight and I guess I am looking forward to that. Not too sure of what we will be doing except showing the new leaders the meeting place at the church and trying to convince them to go to training.
My brother Chris and his wife Tina and their two kids Kelsey and Colin are down for the weekend but they are staying at Tina's Mothers house in Cape Coral (about an hour away). I think they are comming down on Sunday to go to church with Mom and Dad.
Thats about all going on right now so I'll talk to ya later...
