Father’s Day

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

I’m sick! Yes it’s Father’s Day and I did not get out of bed until noon, poor Andrew! Quickly after getting up, it was decided that we’d have to cancel our big Father’s Day BBQ at our house. I felt really bad seeing this was probably the last time we’d be able to get everyone together before our trip on Thursday, I felt even more sick about all of the food we’d bought for the BBQ that was now thawing in the fridge. Looks like I’m going to be eating lobster for every meal over the next few days! ;)

After we cancelled Andrew decided to take Mackenzie, Liam & Ciaran out for the afternoon then go to his parents for dinner. Before leaving he noticed the van’s hubcap was off, the tire was FLAT! He called roadside assistance and they sent out a truck to install the spare tire. Unfortunately the mechanism under than van to release the tire was ceased, the driver would have to send a flatbed and have it towed.
You’re probably thinking, “That’s awful! What a pain!” While it was a bit of a pain having to take a few trips to get the kids home in Andrew’s mom’s car. I was quite happy to have the car towed to Canadian Tire as I needed to get some brake work done before we left. This was great! Now I can call in the morning and not have to take the boys and wait for it to be finished.
