Stupid O'Clock & Driving Around!!

Hubby has been off work today coz he's poorly sick (won't go into details, not a pretty sight!) and so I offered to take the car up for his dad last night, but hubby INSISTED he'd be fine today and was going to work. Now 5.05am came and a sicky smelling, feeble sounding "Ailsa..." woke me up. Yep, you've guessed it, he still wasn't well and now wanted me to take the car up! If he'd let me do it when I'd suggested, I could've still been in the land of nod, but nope, up I got, dressed, cleaned my teeth and shoved a bobble in my hair.

The car had been blocked in so I got him to get it out for me, then I was about to get in and get myself sorted when a car came round the corner! Who on earth was up and driving around at this time in the morning?? By this time it was 5.30am and so I had to quickly jump in and just drive off. Had no time to alter the seat, the mirrors or anything! I hastily did that once I got to the end of our road, but I think I must've moved the rear view mirror a little too much and it was pointing down, so this was sorted as I was heading up through Mossbay.

I got up to father-in-law's and there was nowhere to park, so I just kinda pulled over to the side a bit and got him to drive me back home again! I'd had enough at this point and just wanted to get back home to my bed! I told both him AND hubby that he'd better not make a habit out of it just coz I've passed my test!

We got back to our house, I climbed out, got back in and up the stairs, got my PJs back on and crawled back into bed. My leg was giving me some jip at this point coz it's only the second time I've been out driving since I hurt it last week, so needless to say, I didn't get much sleep after that! I think I finally fell asleep around 6.20am but then my alarm went off at 6.35am coz I'd forgotten to change the time, so that was the end of that!

Now it wasn't till I eventually dragged myself BACK out of bed at 7.15am that I realised I'd put my top on inside out and the only reason I DID notice was coz the tag was tickling my arm!!

I had to go and pick the car back up at tea-time (just in case it's needed tomorrow) so off I toddled, on my lonesome, and again to pick my son up from Beavers!

My head is actually thumping from the lack of sleep now, but at least I'll have the car tomorrow if the poor little soldier is still poorly sick! What a great day to have a day off! Hehehehe!
