Not a Fun Friday

So this morning Addison and I headed out to the Y, so I could get a quick swim workout in before her morning nap.  When I went to pick her up at 10:15 she was already exhausted, since she's used to getting her morning nap by 9:30.  We got in the car to head home when I saw that my tire pressure sensor showed my back tire at 12 PSI.  Not good.  

I decided to try to make it to Discount Tire before it went totally flat.  The guy told me they could fix it....in about THREE hours!  It's not like I could go anywhere.  So there I am in a wet swimsuit with a crying baby who is way past naptime.  

Since Hooters (the only restaurant within walking distance) was not open yet, the guys suggested that I go wait it out at Sams (not a short walk).  Of course this would be the day I forgot the stroller.  So Addison and I (wet swim suit, remember?) walk on over to Sams and kill 2 hours.  Now I love Sams, but 2 hours with a crying baby?  Not fun. 

When I got back to DT, they said there were 4 people still left in front of me.  I pleaded my desperate case and they got us in thankfully and repaired the flat.  

Augghhh!  I need a weekend.

    Oh my word - I am so sorry for your morning - I wish you had called me, I would have picked you up!!! A 2 hour Sams trip for me would have been bad bad bad :)

    You should have called someone...you could have called me. I was actually over in portifino this morning. You need to put my digits in your phone in case you are in a bind again. I even had two extra carseats just waiting to be used. How miserable!

    That does not sound like any fun at all!!!! So sorry....but I do have to say I laughed at the thought of you in a wet bathing suit for 2 hours in Sams!!! (it was a sad laugh though - don't worry)

    Oh man...how crazy! Something very similar happened to me when I was pregnant! My tire was very flat from a slow leak and I had Katie with me. Stopped at Discount Tire to have it fixed. I walked to Sams super preggers with Katie and spent a good hour and half there. Came back and still wasn't done. After 2 hours I finally said forget it and told them to put some air in it and I'd bring it back. Sounds like they are notorious for taking forever! Funny though how the stories are similar! Although walking around in a wet swimsuit sounds like torture! :P

    I am so sorry that happened. It makes for a good story, though. Sam's in a wet swim suit in February. Hope they were serving up some awesome samples.
