Not the Way to Start the Day

Do you ever have one of those days that go wrong from the very beginning? You know the ones that leave you debating on going back home, going back to bed and starting over. Well for me yesterday was one of those days.

My morning began with me getting in my car and saying to myself "crap I need gas, I hope I can make it to Hollis". After that I started on my way. I made it to the first reasonable gas station (Hollis crossroads for you locals). I pulled in and parked my car by the gas pump and reached for my debit card............"wait where is my purse"???? I thought. Yes that is right I forgot my purse!!!! Let me add by this time my gas light is on. I most likely don't have enough gas to get me to work in Heflin nor do I have enough to get me home to get me purse.

I decided I would call my hubby and get him to give me the credit card number (in hopes the clerk would take it as a trade for gas).  I called Justin and no answer. So I decided to "beep him" (meaning use the push to talk option on our cell)......No answer. I alert him. He comes back and says "I am busy call you later". I scream "but I need you now". I try to "beep" him again but now his phone is off. Ahh my hero. I am so glad to know he is there for me always....Ha! Good thing I wasn't dieing in a car wreck trying to tell him my last good bye!!( He is soooo very lucky I love him like I do).

Any way on ward to the next person. I called JoNell and got her credit card number. I then hung my head and moaped into the store. I told the clerk my situation and gave her the credit card number. She responded by saying "we can't put card numbers in manually". Thankfully she gave me enough gas to make it home to get my purse. I sped home got my purse, went back to the gas station, paid for my gas and was on my way.

Let me add that during this time I was calling my supervisor's office to inform her of my tardiness. I did not get an answer. I decided to email her when I arrived at work. However as luck would have it I pulled up at the audit site and saw nothing other than the black Honda sitting by the front door. You got it.....my supervisor was there waiting for me....."great". Luckily she is pretty easy to get along with and hopefully she understood.
