This past Saturday, Tom took Ellie to Monster Jam with my two brothers and brother in law and their kids. Tom is really not a fan of Monster Jam. It just isn't his scene. I am not sure it is Ellie's scene either, but she was happy to be with her daddy and her cousins.

I ran out of gas on the way to work yesterday morning. The last time I ran out of gas, I was 20 years old and had just purchased my first car. I don't remember it being as stressful of an experience as it was yesterday when I found myself on the side of a busy road, in the dark, with two small children. I was there for 45 minutes before Tom arrived with a gas can. In that time, not a single person stopped to offer help or ask if I was okay.

Ellie informs me this morning that a boy in her class, Cody, is so handsome. All the girls in her class love Cody because he is so handsome. She says he has straight blond hair and skin the same color as hers. But in the next breath she tells me that Jayden B. is her boyfriend. Jayden B. has "curly hair and brown skin." I ask her how he can be her boyfriend when she keeps talking about how handsome Cody is. She replies, "Well, I don't tell Jayden that I think Cody is handsome!" I ask her what she and Jayden do that makes him her boyfriend (with just a little fear of what her response will be). Apparently, she pushes him on the swing at recess. Also, sometimes he gets hurt and she helps him feel better. Whew. I can get behind that kind of relationship.

oh ellie girl:) oh no you ran outta gas! I feel your pain! You just gotta be shameless like me and stop traffic to ask a grumpy man in a big truck to help you. Then he'll have you buy him $45 worth of cigarrettes for his troubles....hmmm waiting for Tom was definately a better choice:)
Sorry about running out of gas. Can't believe NO one stopped to help. I have had a flat tire twice and both times someone stopped to help me before I could even get the jack out of the trunk. I was so grateful!
don't pretend, we both know that you secretly fancy me more than Tom...all us Codys are sexy. ;)
