Do you ever ask yourself WTH?

You know we've been through many crazy things along the way. Some stranger than others ....but today was one if those days that left me scratching my head.

First off a little background info to catch you up to speed. We have an
88 Jeep Wrangler that, well, she is the "other" woman in our house. It seems to always need something.  Well for the longest time it has needed a gas gauge.  That makes driving the Jeep a somewhat an adventure.  Well today was one of those adventures. We ran out of gas in the way to pick the kids from school. We had left in a rush and didn't have 2 cents on us. Nice huh. So what to do?? Crazy Suz decides to walk home to get money.  Nice beautiful day only 98 degrees 100% humidity. Swell day for a walk ....and off I go. So on my walk I get propositioned by two nice "working" men offering me a ride and more.  That was nice. Then as I walked by the police station an officer pulls out and stops me and tells me that a nice lady like me needs to go home rather than out "walking".  Ok by now the heat has gotten to me and the two previous indecent proposals.  I proceeded to inform the officer that I was not out walking, working or anything of that nature but rather my car had broken down. I went onto say that if he was any type of decent man, officer or human that that he would have asked if I needed help because I was not dressed to be walking in the heat or as a hooker.  Needless to say he rolled up his window and drove off.  Really????

I survived the walk home and back to learn that grandaddy was now a mile or so up the road broken down in his Jeep with the kids.  Oh ya. It gets better!!!!

We get gas and drive up the road to find the jeep and see what the problem was.  To make a long story short we ended up towing his jeep to the shop in a long about way.

Needless to say Jeeps aren't my favorite mode of transportation today. 

No more adventures for this week I hope.  If you can't laugh ... I'd gone insane by now.
