Worst.Day.Ever

I had to go to Pocatello to meet somebody that had come from Washington. He brought all our tools that Chris was using to remodel a house in Richland. This was the only way for us to get them before we move. I only took Jocelyn and Dillon and I was gonna just pound it out and get it done. Anyways, I was almost to Pocatello and my accelerator started having problems. About every 10 minutes for almost 2 hours I couldn't accelerate all of the sudden and I had to pullover, turn the car off, wait a minute, and then I could go again. I stopped at a mechanic and talked to a Kia service place and found out it wouldn't ruin the car to keep driving it.
We left at 11 am to meet the guy with our tools at 2:30. Trip to Pocatello-awesome until the last hour. Then everything started going wrong. First the van problems.
My van magically stopped doing the wierd thing just as I got onto the busy freeway in northern Utah. Such a blessing!! Why does The Lord bless me so much? Maybe because he knew what was coming and I couldn't handle the car situation anymore.
It started pouring so hard I could hardly see. There was a wreck and it was rush hour. Chris flew back from California and was waiting at the airport for me. He changed his flight so he could come to a lee family dinner (that we missed). Dillon and Jocelyn were not happy anymore. I had to stop and feed him when I was only 20 min from the airport. Then I got on the wrong freeway. I was completely disoriented because of the rain. I could have been going north or east and wouldn't have known I was going in the wrong direction. Then I see that I'm empty but can't find a gas station for miles on this "legacy parkway" freeway that I've never been on! I drive all over, in the wrong directions, trying to find gas. It's amazing I didn't run out! My dumb phone that I rely on too much was not helping me. And all the while, I'm waiting and expecting my car to stop accelerating so I stay away from other cars, and as close to the shoulder as possible. I finally get Chris who has been at the airport for 2 hours and Dillon cries all the way home-still rush hour because of the rain. Sooooo stressful! We finally picked up Addysin and Caiden from their friends who didn't expect to have them so long. We got home at 7:30. So.....
I traveled for 8 hours today. Oh and I stayed up till almost 3:00am baking cookies last night for tonight's Lee party.
Chris and the older three went to the get-together. Me and Dillon stayed home to relax.... After I cleaned up his blowout he had just as we got home.
