No Dinner Tonight

Life gets complicated sometimes and things happen that are out of our control. I had to return my sisters car to Houston, Texas Tuesday after I got out of class. The reason I am having to do this is because my youngest son who is 16 had been staying with my sister and brother-in-law for a couple of months to get his act together and last Wednesday he "takes her car without permission" in the middle of the night and comes back to Memphis. My plan was to drive about 5 hours get a hotel about 9pm and do some homework. Then, get up this morning drive to the airport and come home. I end up driving the entire way and pull up in my sisters driveway at 230 this morning. I caught a shuttle to the airport at 9am to catch a 12pm flight. The plane was a CRJ which has 50 seats and I get a seat by myself in the last row next to the restroom. Thirty minutes into the hour long flight I wanted to grab the p.a. and announce to the last two people who had not used the lavatory yet that is was vacant! Gross! A friend of mine picks me up at the airport and it's about 130pm. My phone rings and it's my sister wondering where her car keys are. In my pocket! Just in case you ever need this service it's $69 dollars to FedEx a key to Houston overnight. I'm not making dinner tonight either. It has been a rough 24 hours and I'm tired.
