The drive to Church that went so wrong!!

Wednesday nights at our house seem to be very hectic!!! We are always rushing out the door for church! Usually once we get in the car things start to calm down and we have some time to gather our thoughts for the next rush (getting everyone to the right place on time). This past Wednesday seemed to go a little different. We were running a little behind and had to eat extremly fast, so we wouldn't have to sit in Michigan traffic. Even though we left at normal time we hit a huge traffic jam on the highway. Thinking we were smart, we got off. Only to find out there was no way around it!! Now, it gets even better. Nathaniel ,our three year old, has the bladder the size of a dime. He begins to complain about how badly he has to us the potty!! Mind you we are sitting on Crooks Rd. in bumper to bumper traffic!!! So what do we do? We plead with him to hold on just alittle while longer. We finally reached the parking lot of a strip mall and yes , we let him go in the parking lot!! Oh,did I tell you it was pouring rain!!! Ok, so you think that's not so bad. I'm not done yet. Just when we thought the crises was over, our 5 year old (Andrew) begain to cmplain about his tummy hurting. Andrew and I looked at eachother and said "OH NO"!! That's right!! He was car sick. We started asking him ever 5 seconds "Are you ok"? Finally, we were back on the highway making decent time. Then it happened!! Andrew Jr. yelled from the back of the car,"I'M GOING TO THROW UP"!! Well, as fast as humanly possible Andrew pulled the car over and I jumped out of my seat to grab him. Thankfully we made it just in time. Yes, it was still pouring rain!!! We made it to church and we were only 15 minutes late. It was crazy! It was like a bad dream that got worse minute by minute. KIDS ARE GREAT!!!!
