When it rains it pours

That statement has GOT to be my motto, and literally it did that this AM. At about 9AM it got so dark in the house I had to turn lights on. Then the phone rings, it's my MIL wanting me to go to there house and look on FIL's desk for MONEY that they/he LOST. They are on vacation somewhere b/w IA and CO and apprantley he can not find his money. He thinks someone stole it, MIL thinks it's sitting on his desk at home. Cops are coming, inlaws are in a panic. Note to everone, THIS is why one does NOT travel with cash. Well maybe $100 b/c you will find that if you need towing, tire fixed, etc companies will not do it unless you have cash to pay them. So anyway, miss A is down for a nap and the skys just open up and it pours. It pours so hard the rain can't get out of the window sills fast enough and the wind is horrendous. I'm not going anywhere for sure!

I call her back and tell her when the rain stops i'll go. After about 30 min of drenching downpours, it lets up. I get A up from her nap buckle her in Honda, then C who has now pee'd in his pants, look under the car and make sure no kittens are under and start the car. Well the check engine light is on and the car sounds horrible. So turn off the honda move the kids to the van, which has VERY LITTLE gas (little trip to the lakes yesterday to late by the time we got home to put gas in) and drive to the farm. Well, i get there to fine my BIL's pickup in the garage. I walk in and there he is looking for the money talking to my MIL. I was FURIOUS. I said why didn't someone call me? He said he tried but got no answer and was just a tad snarky with me. I replied 'Well if I don't answer it's probably b/c i'm on my way over here and why didn't you call my cell phone, my honda sounds like crap, i had to wake A up to get over here, the van has like no gas, I have a leak somewhere in my attic, C pee'd his pants, and all this b/c i was trying to get over here!!! Thanks a lot' and i stormed out in tears.

I know maybe a little dramatic, but if you don't know my by now, i am dramatic but not overly. I don't think, others would disagree. OH and i had to move the stinken yellow pickup (yeah the pickup that was buried in snow this spring) in which i had to just let off the break and let it coast back till i slammed the breaks and made it come to a SCREECHING HAULT right in the gravel. Darn near gave myself whiplash. So yeah, lovely day!!!!!!!!!

There's more but this is the gist of it and probably more then enough for you all to read. I'm home obviuosly and the kids are napping for what i hope is a couple hours. They had to endure me during all of this. When i got in the van from storming out of inlaws house, C says 'what wrong mommy' so sincere!!
