Preparedness

Last night we had to drop the truck off at Chris's work.  (Yay, our first tour is over!!! ) I love that frontrunner is around so that I can do this biweekly task without having to bother my mom and Mer for rides all of the time.  

When we picked the truck up I seriously underestimated how long the walk was from the train station to his work.  Luckily Kristi lives in between the two so we were able to have a pit stop at her house.  This time I prepared better, snacks, drinks, and books.  

What I didn't prepare for was the fact Pais would insist on walking a mile of the trail and we'd miss the train I was trying to catch.  So during our 40 minute wait at the station we drank squeeze-it's and ate an entire bag of Chicken-in-a-biscuit. I sound prepared right?  Um, no.  By the time the next train arrived it was dark and a little cooler than our attire permitted.  Luckily our house is only 10 minutes from the train station so we got home really fast but I still ended the outing feeling like a horrible mom.  I guess hopeful the third times the charm!
