The results are in…and I am officially an idiot!

One would think in this day and age of technology, running out of gas would be a problem of the past, kind of like small pox. Technology is great but there still has to be a flawed human using that technology. In a perfect world, when that little light turns on telling you that the gas is about to run out, the car would be smart enough to fill itself up. Unfortunately, they have not figured that part out yet. So, last night when I realized the light had come on, I quickly made a few calculations in my head. Apparently when I carried the one I was not supposed to because this morning on our way to drop Macie off at school, our mini van did a little sputtering and then very nicely turned off. I guess my math skills are not as good as they used to be, or sitting in traffic yesterday played a larger role than I factored in. Let’s just say Amy was not happy with me. So I called our good friend Jeff and he was just pulling out of the house so he grabbed his gas can and came to the rescue. Thank goodness for friends! Fortunately Macie just thought she had more time to watch A Snoodles Tale, and that Uncle Jeff brought daddy some coffee. Oh what a morning! 

As I have grown older and wiser, I try to make it a point to learn from my mistakes. So as I sit here and think about this morning I have come to a great revelation. When the light turns on, get gas. I know it sounds simple, but I think it just might work. Now I just need to get Amy talking to me again:)
