Wow I can't believe my little girl is a teenager! Gab decided to go to a movie with two of her friends. One of the friends mothers agreed to go with them. I spent a whole day talking to the movie theatre to make sure that we had the right time and the right theatre (we needed the one that carried the closed captioning with the cool Mo-picks!) Everything done and feeling confident that things would go well, I left to go get my haircut and sent the girls on their way. By the time I had finished with my appointment it had started to snow a little. When I arrived home I asked Genaro if he would be ready to pick up the pizza within the hour and he informed me that I had been given the wrong time and that the movie would not be over until after 4 pm. I was so upset, because the mother that had gone with the girls had to be at work at 2 and I knew she could not stay. Bless these two wonderful parents of Gab's friends, they worked it out that they would drop the girls off to see their movie and then the other parent would pick them up and bring them back to the house for cake and such. That was just the beginning though... in the meantime mother nature decided that it was going to work against us and we got hit with an ice storm. I had ordered the pizza and sent Genaro to pick it up. He called saying the roads were really bad and he could not get out of the neighborhood. I was like "go figure Genaro, it is only 2 blocks from the house!" So it was all hills, what difference does that make?? I called a friend who has an SUV and asked her if she would pick it up. She said no problem. About 20 min later the hubby made it home along with my brother in law who both said that the roads were horrible and began to tell their horror stories. So I called the friend back and told her to forget it. Called to cancel our pizza, I felt so bad, the manager said they could not deliver either because they had just been told to cancel all deliveries. $65 worth of pizza....well hope the employees enjoyed it. By this time watching the news and looking outside I was getting really worried about the girls getting home. I talked to the one mom who was to bring them and she assured me they would be driving in her hubby's big ole truck with 4 wheel drive and new tires. I was still in tears. I didn't want anyone to get hurt. During all this the mom that dropped the girls off came to the house, she had just gotten home, (1 and 1/2 hours later). As she was leaving the theatre she slipped and feel, then hit another car as she was trying to leave the parking lot, and it took her way longer to get home then it should have. She did not make it to work on time. I felt so bad. Gabby and her friends made it home. Unfortunately the one could not stay so she took cake with her. There was no pizza, but we made due with some yummy tacos! All in all it did not turn out ideal but she had fun, and I am sure it is a birthday she will remember. Happy Birthday Baby!
