Thanksgiving postponed???

So there I was at 9:10am running out the door (late as usual) for my Saturday morning bootcamp (since I have a hamstring injury and cannot run, bootcamp has become even more important in my life) I get to the truck (wishing I had previously warmed it up) and low and behold it will not start...Ahhhhh....grrrrrr...Thank goodness Jason was able to finally get it going, so off I went. After bootcamp, same thing....not fun, but I talked very nicely to it, gave it a swift boot (jk) and it started again. I rushed home so Jason could quickly get it to Canadian Tire for a new battery while I got the girls and myself ready for a birthday party we were bound to be late for now. We get them buckled in the truck, put on our Curious George soundtrack (Jack Johnson singing...nice) and things are lovely again...until I notice...no gas! Yikes. I gently explain to the girls no gas means no party and we pull over to fill up...well a 1/4 fill...lol. Just pull into the parking lot of the party and receive a phone call from Jason on my cell that now the hot water tank has burst and his parents are in Arizona and no plumbers are answering and oh wait...it's a long weekend! At this point I am laughing hysterically because it is Thanksgiving and I am supposed to be very thankful and I am not feeling so thankful at this moment. lol :)
Thank goodness we have gotten it all straightened out, Jason found a plumber ( I won't even tell you the cost for it to be repaired ...on a long weekend...and he would of done it himself if it weren't a gas hot water tank). So no hotwater until late tomorrow afternoon and no turkey for me until Monday. Ahhhh c'est la vie!

I must say that I am thankful for everything in my life...even the mishaps this weekend, at least they made for a good laugh.

Hope you are all enjoying your lllloooonnnngggg weekend. And if anyone is planning on dropping by, drop in on Monday that is when the water will be warm again and the turkey will be served :)

Happy Thanksgiving!
