Almost Friday!!

We have almost made it through the first full week of school. Is it Christmas break yet? ha ha Today was an ok day, interesting for a few reasons, one is that I ran out of gas (for the 2nd time since having my new suburban and have never in my life ran out before), my car has everything on it and it tells you basically when to wash it.. ha ha Well it tells you how many miles you have until empty. Well my gas light had come on and I drove the kids to school and came home. Luke and I were going out to get him some new shoes and to look for a cute shirt for his party tomorrow night. We head out and our friends down the street are out in their front yard, so we pull up and chat to them for a few (it only seemed like a few but the more I think of it I think it was more like 15 minutes or so) minutes, car running... We head out and we are heading to the gas station, we are about 1 mile (gas station is only about 3 miles from our house) from the off ramp where the gas station is (yes we took the freeway, we have a freeway right in the middle of everything and it is so much easier to take it verses side streets) and the car shut off.. So we coast to the side and we call AAA. I have onstar but they do not have a good turn around time like AAA does. AAA charges 10.00 for one gallon of gas and onstar is free, but who wants to wait 45 minutes for onstar when AAA said 15 minutes. They came put the gas in, I gave them 10.00 and off we went to the Vans store, oh sorry gas station first. Luke got 2 new pairs of vans, he picked out black ones with flames on them and then we got a solid black pair, they don't make brown ones in his size which is silly. But he is very happy with the 2 pair he got!
The frustrating part of this all was that my car told me I had 34 miles until empty. Maybe it meant to say 34 seconds when I looked at it after leaving our neighbors.. :)
We weren't able to go look for a shirt because Thursday are Kyle's early days, so we grabbed lunch and headed to the school to get in the line and ate in the car.
After getting Brittney from school I went to old navy to look for some clothes for me and look for a shirt for Luke. I got lucky for me and found 2 knit basic skirts with the wide waist band I can roll down under my tummy and 3 t-shirts. I am excited to have more then just 2 pair of bottoms to wear!! I have been holding off on clothes shopping cause I don't want to get things to fit now and then have them get to small later, plus everything is winter now and I will not wear jeans and long sleeves in the summer heat, although today's weather was so nice high here 77!! LOVE IT!!
Tonight was back to school night. Kyle's teacher is super nice, gives a little to much homework for my liking but what can I do. Came home got the boys to bed (even though Luke keeps getting up to tell someone something) and I am heading there myself! Tomorrow night is Luke's party!! Can't wait! Good night everyone!
