What can go wrong will go wrong!

My fourth of July, was crazy. On the 3rd we were driving to Tulsa to eat out and enjoy the day. On the freeway the car starts acting up. So we punch in home on the GPS. It took us on some back road. Just as we pull into a gas station in Catoosa the car completely dies. We look for the closest food and parts store on the GPS. By the way a GPS is handy when you break down and have to walk in a strange town. Back to the story at hand, the temperature was getting hotter with a high close to 100 degrees. We walked about 2 miles to Taco Bueno. When we ordered and sat down I noticed that one of my boys was acting like he was cold. My other son then informed me that his brother had a fever of 103 degrees early that morning. He did not want to tell me because he was afraid we would cancel our plans.
Lucky for us Walgreens was next door. I purchased some Ibuprofen and a thermometer. We walked around the store till my husband and other son could buy a battery at the parts store. On our way back I took my fever child and daughter in the Post Office so he could cool down and not over heat on the rest of the trip. My other son and husband continued to the car. After we were cooled down a bit we headed back to the car. My son comes running back to us. They had taken off without the car keys. He got the keys from me and you could see he was exhausted. He takes off running back for the car and his dad when he feet just quit. He falls and rolls down the hill, jumps back up and off he goes. We got home that day on battery power. We ordered our alternator and rented movies. Decided it would be safer for us to watch fireworks on Saturday in our hometown.
Saturday July 4th finally comes. We took a trip to the store for supplies for our cook out before fireworks. Apparently we should stay more connected with the community. On the front page of the local newspaper was the story about the wonderful fireworks display Friday night July 3rd. We had our first July 4th with no fireworks and no Independence to drive. On the sunny side it is Monday now and a whole new week for what can go wrong to go wrong.
