The plan is to make blueberry muffins with our collection.
After, we stopped at the local grocery for a few items and it started raining on us. We hopped in the car, but not before I noticed a Lincoln in the parking lot that couldn't start. It kept trying, but never would start. So, I was feeling a little nice and I pulled up next to it, in the rain, to ask if they needed help. At this point, while I was motioning for the person to roll down the really dark tinted windows, I worried what I might have gotten myself into. A man in his fifties rolled down the window and he was quite big. I asked him if I could help and he said he could use a jump. With all three boys in the car (not smart) I turned my vehicle around and as I was opening the hood, I said "You're not going to hurt me, or you?" He said no and actually looked to be a little crippled. I felt better. As he was setting it all up, I made sure to make plenty of eye contact with everyone in the parking lot (which was semi-busy) so if anything happened, maybe someone would remember me. Those thoughts were actually going through my head. When the jump didn't work, I was about to leave and he asked if he could use my cell phone. "Sure, no problem." He then says "I am a father of two girls and I always tell them not to do this. I'm a grandpa, too. I just want to thank you for stopping to help me." I felt I had done a good deed for the day and was very pleased I survived it all! The things I do before thinking them through...
That afternoon, we were all rained out for swim lessons so we stayed indoors the rest of the day.
When night time came, I was able to get out of the house for a mommy meeting. I love my time with my boys, but I LOVE my time away. Adult time.
