Not quite as planned

Posted by Unknown

OK. Here was the plan.
Thursday night get the backyard ready to pour the cement.
Friday morning.

  • Kel to hit and assist in the yard sale (someone else's home this time)
  • Kel's brother to be dropped over at our house to assist in the cement
  • Kel's mom to switch vehicles (so we can have the truck)
  • I would drop the kids over at the other house having the yardsale
  • I would grab the cement from Triple A, about a yard of it.
  • Kel's brother and I would get the cement done.
  • I would then drop said brother off at home (after returning the cement truck)
  • I would then shower, meet up with kids (after their tennis)
  • I was then planning to take them to Chuckee Cheese as a surpise.
  • Kel was to work at the law office till 4:30 while I had the kids for the remainder of the day.

    I had taken off this Friday to not only run the kids over to a surprise, but also planned to drop some things off at Goodwill. I was also hoping to check out this nearby church's library. It was suppose to be open to the public and very impressive. Just hanging with the kids in town.

    In short, the plan didn't work. We made it up to getting the cement done. On the way of taking the cement trailer back to Triple A, the truck was crapping out on us. We learned quick the ballbearing went out on the 4x4. Sigh. That stalled us. It also made us pull Kel's dad off his work to pull the trailer back to Triple A. Pulled Kels' mom home from work to meet us at our house. She called a friend who had another truck and trailer so they can take the vehicle to the shop. Since, we exchanged vehicles, I simply told Kel's mom to take the van home. This way they wouldnt be a foot. That left the kids and I home alone without a vehicle.

    Kel still made it to work and will be there till 4:30. So, the kids and I have been home all day. At least the concrete work is done. I will need to clean up the surrounding dirt, but the bulk is finished. The patio work is done.

    Maybe I can take the kids in the morning. Bummer man.
