The Jones Girls

We drove our new minivan home last night at about 10pm.   The dealership keeps only about 1 gallon of gas in all of the new cars in hopes that anyone trying to steal one of their cars won’t get too far on such little gas.

This means that we would have to gas up in the morning on the way to driving Cliff to LAX.    His flight was departing at 6:30am.     That meant we had to get up at 3:30am and be out of the house at 4:00am.  I managed to pack Cliff’s luggage last night.   I tell you I hope to goodness I got it right for him.   There is nothing worse than packing your husbands suitcase for a business trip when you are barely coherent and exhausted.  Oh well, at least SOMEBODY packed his suitcase…

So at 4:00am, before the roosters crow, (yes I sound bitchy and I am crappy tired) we head out for the airport.  There is a little red light glowing on the dashboard.  Crap!!  We are on E for Empty!!!    So we try to find a  freakin’ gas station and everything is CLOSED.    We finally find one and then we head out to LAX.  All was well at the airport and then I drove into the dawn sky toward La Habra.

So this was the beginning of my day.   I took the girls to a great frozen yogurt shop, called Pink Berry.  They are doing a fundraiser for our La Habra Moms Club.   I have organized a service project fundraiser with the La Habra Mom’s Club on behalf of  United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of Orange County.  UCP is close to my heart and anytime I can find a way to give to them, I am happy to do it. 

Anyway,  Pink Berry has arranged that 15% all sales from August 1st through August 15th will be donated to UCP.  So there we were with all of our kiddos, enjoying yummy frozen yogurt with delicious fresh fruit toppings.   We had a lot of fun.  The girls didn’t like the frozen yogurt too much.  They prefer traditional “white” ice cream – go figure!!
