My theme song.

I thought I would put a link to my favorite song. This is hilarious!
A friend of mine sent it to me in 2000 after our move from H*#@ from Idaho to Kansas.
First our house had been on the market for 3 years and we couldn't sell it.
Mike lost his job and hadn't found work in Idaho for 9 months so we decided to just leave our house vacant to move back to KS.
We rented a U-haul, loaded all our stuff and then it was too small.
Since we were in no man's land Idaho we had to wait 4 days in an empty house to get another truck.
We then had to unload the first U-haul and put it in a hanger at the airport across the street because it was pouring down rain and we had to take the first track back to get the 2nd.
Then we re-loaded the new truck. We only had my mom, my SIL, Mike and I to move all that stuff plus watch 4 kids. (My niece and nephew were there too)
We got started towing a pick-up truck and driving 2 cars. (One was my SIL's.)
About 2 hours from home we hit a spot in the road where there was no road. In the mountains in Idaho they decided to tear out the old road and put in a new one. It took us about 4 hours to go 20 miles on a one-lane "road" that had a huge drop off on the side.
We get past that and we start having car troubles. So we pull over, take the 73 old beater pick-up (picture Beverly Hillbillies) off the tow bar and put the car on there.
We finally get to Boise (4 hours from our starting point) 10 hours later.
I might add that during this entire time my Elly (1 at the time) kept throwing up about every 30 minutes. She was in the car with just me driving. Try cleaning up barf while driving, that's a neat trick! LOL
We were all so excited to get into the hotel and into the pool. About 5 minutes after we got in there Elly had diarrhea and it leaked out of her swim diaper. So we all had to evacuate the pool. So much for unwinding.
The next day we get up, get all packed up, go out to McD's to eat breakfast. Get in the vehicles to get going again and the pick up won't start.
We spend the next 5 hours at McD's with 4 kids waiting for the truck to get fixed.
We finally leave Boise and make it to somewhere in Utah about 8:00 p.m. We just spent 2 days and we were about 7 hours from our house in Idaho.
We finally made it to Colorado the next (very long) day, with Elly still barfing.
We got stuck in Colorado for 2 weeks because she got so sick and dehydrated that we couldn't go further. She was car sick.
After she got better we then had a big family fight right before we left. (Why does it always happen when your stressed out anyway? :-)
Finally we decided to go ahead and head to KS. My grandparents ended up coming with us to help us out.
We had more problems along the way but finally made the what should have been a 10 hour drive to Kansas 19 hours later at 1:00a.m.
We pull into the driveway of the house that I had rented over the phone in Idaho. (NEVER, EVER DO THAT. IT WAS A VERY DUMB THING TO DO!)
There was pile of trash about 9 ft. wide and 4 ft. wide in the front yard. The white bathroom was literally black it was so filthy!
We couldn't spend the night there like we had planned so thankfully my grandfather, ex-military was able to get us a place to stay that night on base at Ft. Riley.
I just sobbed and sobbed that night when I was outside getting Elly out of the car.
The next day we had to spend cleaning up the nightmare of a trailer house that we had rented.
After all of this, I was telling my friend in Idaho what had happened and she sent me this song.
Now it's my theme song.
I thought you all would enjoy a good laugh and understand why I appreciated it so much after all that.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
Wow...I'm speechless...what a story!
Your a better woman then me! I would've threw in the towel.
Oh Tawra,
Whenever I'm having a bad day, I think I shall remember you.
God Bless you & Mike.
I have been there so many times. I believe it is those times that make you stronger an you realize what you can really do when put to that test.
