Saturday Kendra needed a perscription but couldn't go to Cedar to get it, because she was doing Mallorys' Bridle Pics. So being the awesome Grandma that I am, told her that I would run right over and come right home so we could get the medicine in little Kendra. Sometimes it is nice to ride alone and do a little meditating. It was a quick ride over and I went straight to Wal-Mart. (I know there will be at least 500 trillion Wal-Marts' in hell). I hate that store! It's a love, hate relationship if you know what I mean. Any way I picked up the medicine and a few things and headed for home. My cell phone rings. It is Rachel wanting to chat. I hear a noise and tell her to hang on a minute. Thump-pause-thump-pause.....etc. "Rachel I have to go, I think I have a flat tire." I hang up and pull over in front of the light house up the road from Wal-Mart. Seriously who wants to get out and change a tire on a Saturday a block away from Wal-Mart and a freeway entrance. I was afraid if I opened my door some crazy driver would come by and take it off. Now what. In thirty one years, Russell has never been with me when I have gotten a flat tire.
Who will I call. Lynette and Dustin are in Milford. Lucky them!!!! Roger Smith? Jeremy? Then I remembered that Spencer was in Cedar. I called him and he came in no time to change my tire. I took the car back to that dreaded store and had to buy two tires. Yea, the back two tires on my car were bald. BALD I TELL YOU! I really do know how to change a tire, just not on a busy street like that. I owe Spencer big time....he is such a sweet heart. You can always count on those Whittaker boys. Thank goodness I didn't get it going through the pass. So there was an upside to this fiasco. I hope I can pay it forward to some old lady stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire.

Let me guess. It was all my fault because the medicine was for Kendra (haha, inside joke) I'm too funny!! Glad Spence was around to save the day.
I can't believe my tough mama wouldn't change her own flat! Remember when we got a flat tire on the way to Winnemucca in my old escort? You wouldn't let those guys help you. BTW - I hate Walmart, too!
Dear sweet daughter!
You are amazing!and come through all this s---! like a trooper. Do you think about why? God, promised he would never give us anything we couldn't handle, right? Well, he gave us earth angels also, to help us, if we are living up to our part of the deal.
I would say you are keeping up your part. You are always serving someone....especially me!
Spencer, was your angel that day.
He will be blessed. And for blessings... aren't you glad you have a credit card? a nice car, even if it gets those flats? (thank God it was not a blow out), a husband who loves & supports his family well financially, so you can pay for those tires, a nice home (you work so hard at to keep nice), a great family and friends, and last, but not least, the gospel plan in your life? What would we do without it? I would definitely be lost without it. I have to remind myself everyday of all my blessings, which do make the irritating, stupid, hard stuff in my life a little easier.
Well, I must include blogging as a blessing!.....even if I don't get my work done, as I am always checking out my families blogs to see whats new. Just love to hear from you!
I do believe I have just given my lesson for this week, so I won't have to prepare one for Sunday (hehe)
Hope your day is a good one! (no disasters!!!).
Love ya' baby girl! you will always be my baby!
Your mommy.
In response to my telephone converation....."I'm bloggin'!"...well I'm going to!
Just a little remark about Wal*Mart...It is a hassle there, can't find where things are etc. long check out lines, but....what I wouldn't do for one in Milford!!!
I would think I had died and gone to heaven!
Amen,sista! A love/hate relationship with Wal-Mart is the perfect way to describe it. Spencer was more than happy to help ya out! We all love DeAnn!
I picked ROLLO, ha ha ha! Wanna twinkie?
Oh my Gosh! I didn't almost pee my pants....I almost had a heart attack!
I picked Almond Joy, because you put Joy in my life! I really do think you are a "Red Hot" too.
Love ya~
Mommy
Wow! Haven't seen so many comments in a long time. Glad to see you bloggin' again. I thought you were in mourning from the end of American Idol. By the way, I picked Almond Joy because
