Not according to plan

Sometimes life doesn't go according to plan.

Like when you're driving the crew to school in the morning.

And you notice mid communte that the car is randomly acting weird.

Causing you more alarm when you have to slow down at a stop sign and the car is lurching.

You tell all the children in the car to start praying!

{"Why?" one responds. "Don't you feel that?!!" "Yes." "Well its NOT normal!"}

When your husband doesn't answer his phone you leave a message that sounds like this:
"The car is acting really funky. PLEASE CALL ME!"

And then you see the stop light up ahead that just turned red and your stomach sinks. As the car thuds to a stop you KNOW you won't be able to get it started again.

True story. Middle of the road. Dead suburban. Children total 7.

Super kind lady behind you pulls her car out of the way and then comes over to help. Jim Stewart pulls up. Answer to prayers cause Kurt's still not picking up. After moving the said dead vehicle to the side of the road he takes the kids to school in 2shifts. You wait with the 2 little girls until Kurt comes to tow you home.





Broken fuel pump. Hundreds of dollars later the burban is back {and better than ever.}

Not exactly how you plan to spend the day but the house did receive some attention. And Kurt might secretly seal the burban once a week for the sake of the house.
