Fun day

Yesterday was awful. While my husband was running errands, our vehicle breaks down about 25 miles from home in the Middle of Nowhere, Podunk IA. I tried getting a hold of my mom cause she has two vehicles and we could have drove the spare one out there and picked him up right away. But she was gone for about two hours. So we ended up calling his mom, who just got off work and isn't in the greatest of moods. She decides she has to pick me up because she doesn't know where this place is at. I should tell you her driving scares the living daylights out of me. So I get directions from my husband over a less than great cell phone connection (I should tell you he gives directions only slightly better than his mom drives).  About five minutes after she picks me up the rain turns into an all out, can barely see out the windshield, hope the high winds do not pick up your car and drop it in Kansas, thunderstorm. All total it took us about four phonecalls and two turnarounds to find our way. To top it off, a few miles from our destination when lightning strikes about a mile ahead and hits a transformer. We were startled but I bet the poor guy who was picking up his mail right next to where it struck peed his pants.
