Keeping my chin up

Today was a crappy day.  I was supposed to go to the doctors, key word…supposed to.  I was able to peacefully get the kids ready for the day and eat a nice breakfast with them before all hell broke loose.  When I went out to the hummer I noticed the remote unlock didn’t work…hmmm…maybe its battery was dead.  So I unlocked it with the key and proceeded to start the engine.  NOPE  Houston we have a problem.  It did not start and I could not get the key out of the ignition.  Yikes!  Phone calls to the hubby, my mom, and OnStar…an hour later roadside (in my case driveway side) arrived.  They jumped the battery and after another call to OnStar the Hummer was running as normal.  20 mins of idle running to charge the battery and then finally off to work.  Yeah, I was totally unable to make my doctors appointment.  I have been putting off the doctors for a long time and still did not make it.  I made it to work just in time to put in oh 3 1/2 hours of work before I had to leave to get a new battery.  Lucky the Hummer started, just barely.  A few dollars later I have a new battery and it was even installed for me…well I had to pay for that too.  So all is good, back home and ready for bed early!  Whew…here’s hoping the rest of the week is better then today.
