That's what my tire is. Very very flat. I'm 45 miles from home, it's negative 4 out. There is no one who can come get me. My assistant came from home, bought a can of flat fixer stuff, it didn't work. We went back and bought a different kind. Didn't work. My valve stem is broken. I do not have AAA nor anything similar. I suppose I should be thankful that at least I am not on the side of the road. My girls are home alone. They will be alone all night. I have never ever ever ever left them alone all night. I'm spending the night here at work--no change of clothes, no toothbrush, no deodorant. Oh tomorrow is going to be such a fun day, because I still have to find a way to get the tire fixed.

I'm sorry your car is broken. Darn cars anyways. I sure hope everything works out real soon.

The only guy that works for us (poor guy!) is going to take my tire off, run it up to get fixed and then bring it back when he's done around 2:00. Thank goodness. Fell asleep around 1:00, slept only briefly as I was chilly, physically got up at 3:45 and have been working since! I hate cars. Granted, they beat the alternative, but still!!!

(((cantstop)))))) i'm glad you made it through this, leaving the kids alone must have been frightening for you... i am sure you kept all safe during this... as for no shower..... well.... just be you today and when you get home, take a double shower if you can! going without hot water a few days can really make us treasure it when we get it for sure!

Thank you for understanding how nervous and anxious I was about leaving them home alone. Having nothing to do with trust, having everything to do with even though they are 16 and 15, they are still my babies! yes, I'm going for the natural look today!!
