The Adventures of Sundays

Sundays are normally my catch up days, but yesterday was my designated paper day. Two important papers awaited my attention, and since I had hardly looked over either of them, I barely knew what they were supposed to be about. Bad procrastinator I know. But before I could even think about writing those papers, we had planned to go help the school teacher of our little church school move to their new house, her and her husband. We had planned on only helping pack up, but we enjoyed the fellowship with the other church members, so we continued on to their new house to help unpack. We finally ate lunch around 3:00p.m. after everything was all unloaded. Then we headed home. My motivation was still lacking when I got home, combined with the fact that the house badly needed cleaning. I plugged into it, though, while Adam went down to his parents to work on his snowmobile. Towards the end of my paper, my Dad called on his way down the mountain with Mom, saying the Jeep had gotten stuck on the way down and that they needed Adam's help to get it out. So I quickly called down to his parents....no answer. Called again....and again and again. No answer. In my frustration and desperation I finally decided to go down there. In my usual rush to back out of the driveway, I failed to see or remember that Gail had left her car in our driveway after picking up our truck, and just as I saw it in my rear view mirror, SMACK! Grrrr!!! Her car was fine thankfully. I had hit my breaks enough that it didn't hit too hard, but it got my car in just the right spot to smash one of the smaller tail lights. Thankfully, minimal other damage occurred, but it still added to my stress. Adam wasn't down there after all, and I had no way of getting a hold of him. He did finally get back after about a half hour, and we headed up to my parents. Dad and Adam rode the 4-wheeler up from their house to where the Jeep was, and spend the next couple hours getting it un-stuck. We didn't get home until just before midnight, but much to my gratitude, Dad said it was ok for me to sleep in a little. So even after all that, I had a good morning this morning, and thank God for keeping our men safe. (I am heading to Walmart this afternoon to buy Adam a track phone so that we can reach each other in the next emergency). :)
