Today I have an appointment with the doctor that is taking care of the paperwork for my work and my first line for medical care. I have had this doctor since I was a child, but he all the way up in Indianapolis so I thats why I went to the doctor down in Nashville closer to home. So I go out to start the truck that should be running like a dream and..... Nope its dead. So I have to charge it. It gets going and off I went to Greenwood. Karter fooled me into thinking that he maybe sick so I kept him home with me so we both went up to the doctor. With the truck running funny I probably would not have went but I had to get the paperwork to return to work for Monday. We got up there ok and we were running early so we stopped at McDonalds on Main Street off the interstate. Right away I knew we might have trouble with the truck.. I was right. It was dead really dead.... No lights no nothing. I called the doctors office and they would fit me in when they could. My appointment was at 10:15. We got to Mcdonalds at 9:45. I called everyone and no one was home, of course, I called Toby and he was at work and he couldn't get out of work unless I really couldn't find some one. While I was on the phone with him Mom and dad beaped in. Mom has hand surgery at 2:00 so dad came up and got me but he couldn't stay, so I called my Aunt Gayle. Dad got up to Greenwood at 11:00 and I got to the doctor by 11:25. The appointment went rough. He wouldn't release me to work, not knowing where the stint could be and wondering about all the weight loss, working wasn't an option. I had blood work and an x-ray by the time that was all takin care of it was after 2:00. I called aunt Gayle and she came up to get us. We took off and had to pick up the past two other kids at school way down south of Nashville. We would have made it to the school on time but there was an accident on the interstae and I called the school to tell them at they would have to go to after school. We finally made it down to the school then poor aunt Gayle had to take us back up to my mom and dads where we would have to wait for them to get back from moms hand surgery. So the time is now 4:30 and we head up to the McDonalds to get the truck. It started to snow! Urgh! Dad worked out in the cold to try and work on the truck to see if we could get it started. No luck so I called a tow truck, well cause of the snow the tow truck would be 2 hours out. In the mean time dad took the alternator out and had it tested and it wasn't the alternator, not the battery so we both figured it was the starter. The tow truck got there at about 8 and we headed down to mom and dads. I left the truck there and drove moms van down home. Finally the day was over. Kids to bed, shower, and rest. Its going to busy day tomorrow....
