Stranded in the walmart parking lot

This morning I got the boys ready to go out for a while, we had to take Cam for his 4 month check up and shots and go to the grocery store because we had NO food in the house :) So we go to the doctor and it all goes fine then we head to the store, where BOTH boys were really good. Mason didn't ask for anything and Cam slept! I was like yes, this is a good day...I load the boys up, put all the groceries in the trunk and buckle up...the car won't start! I had to call Guy at work so that he could come and get us to take us home. So Mas and I eat lunch in the car, and amazingly Cam sleeps again! When Guy gets there he tries to jump us, but it doesn't work. So some other guy, who was a total lifesaver!, shows Guy how to scrap the crud off the battery and told us it just was not getting enought charge Then Viola! he jumps it and it starts! Hurray! And it won't cost us money to fix! But I have never spent so much time in the parking lot of a Walmart :)

Oh, I remember those days...
I'm glad someone was there to help.

This is why I can't get a Prius. After many many years of having cars that won't start - I freak out evertime it turns off at a light!

Isn't there a Chris Cagle song about the Wal Mart parking lot?
