Under: everyday life and events
Today we left ohio...but lets go back to yesterday first...
Tuesday the 6th:
Susan was at work, but we have yet to walk the Polaris mall, and grandma wanted to go to sears. So we visited with susan in the morning, but after that we left for the mall.. we being Kyla, me, and nana. We had fun walking the mall. We went to the sears and grandma did her shopping. Then we walked in the Disney Store... cause we don't have one anywhere near us at home. and they had a really good Easter sale! we got a big Minnie Mouse doll for only $6. That's a pretty good deal :) Then we went to grandma's next stop.. Chick-fil-a! ...and I got my nummie steak escape! I wish we had a chick-fil-a near us! it was the perfect kids meal for Kyla, and the kids meal toy was a veggie tales dvd!!!
after eating we walked the rest of the mall, and looked at mostly overpriced stuff. Then we went to look at the new outdoor part of the mall, and we found a cute lil kids salon. And a super sweet maternity store! It had free oj and water and a place to let you lil ones play. It was kinda high end and all very expensive. but It was nice to see :)
Then wail I was looking in the store I got a call from susan... she got out of work early and we where going to see a movie! So we met susan at the theater and saw dreamworks How To Train Your Dragon. It was a good movie and Kyla loved it!!! after the movie we where going to go to the Chinese restaurant. Then ...it happened... Susan called my car toothless... the name of the main dragon... (my car is still missing it's front grill) I had grandma ride with Susan and Kyla and I drove our car. not even out of the driveway yet I hit a huge pothole! I heard the bump kussssshhhhh. and was like "oh shit" got out looked, yup sure enough, flattened. what eles did toothless have... a bad leg... bah! So I pulled into a some what empty parking lot and started to jack up the car. So obviously pregnant chick with toddler....does anyone ask if I need help? ...NO! one jeep drove by with no top two guys in it... passenger says "hey dude should we help her out?" diver says no...because he has to get a hair cut... grrrrr. Wail I was doing my tire 3 other cars hit the same pot hole and got flats. the first was a black lady ...looked like she was a higher up type business women. she pulled over, called her bf/ husband/brother whatever he was and took his car and left him to change her tire. the second was an old couple, they pulled over and called their AAA. They came by with a rental and off they went a lil later a tow truck came to get the car. the third guy hit it, heard the pop and he just kept on going... I was like ummm, figure it before you get on the freeway... and off he went I was like, hmm that will not end well... anyway I had trouble getting the lug nuts loose, usually I wear sneakers but just happened to be wearing flip flops, but I got to the point where I was like well what the hell, so I kicked em loose. after all that bs... i finally got the spare on and then ... it was not inflated! ailwegfdwvgwhafiygwd! Anyway. I did eventually get back to Susan's... I missed dinner, and we barley made it to costco to get a new tire. We ended up getting the buy 4 new tires and get $$ off. It seemed like the safest thing to do... I don't want to be stranded on the way home or something!

So anyway...
wed(7th):
We did manage to get over out little drama, and such. In the morning we said our goodbyes then after susan left for we packed up the car... ah packing a car... it's like tetris applied to real life :) we went up to Toledo and then across the top of Indiana ... because that's the way grandma kept naging me to go!!! and why?... so we could avoid the horrible construction... BS! we went out of the way to..but CONSTRUCTION IS EVERYWHERE!!! And don't even get me started on the BS that is Chicago! but we did get home eventually! :P
