Stranded, Stressed, and Thankful December 03, 2011 @ 09:39:41 pm
I am stranded two hundred miles from home, crowded in my mom's house with all my kids. My car died in her driveway and I am broke stressed and exhausted.
And right now every male in my immediate family have been under, over, and in my truck all day in a steady December rain. There greasy and tired and sore and they are busting their butts to fix my car. Awwww, gotta love brothers and gotta love dads. They haven't complained, just asked for something hot to drink now and then. They wont let me give them money or get under their feet. They just want my truck to be safe for me and the kids. They have been out there for 8 hours now. I wish I could repay them some day.
One of my little brothers road his bike 4 miles to help.
I am a little discombobulated with no sleep since four am yesturday, but even through my jibberish I hope to express how thankful I am to them.
