I COULDN'T MAKE UP SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!!!

TRUE STORY I PROMISE WITH ALL MY HEART

IF I WANTED TO MAKE UP A STORY I COULD NEVER BE ABLE TO MAKE UP ONE LIKE THIS.. I DID MAKE UP SOME OF THAT OTHER BLOG BUT NOT THIS.. YESTERDAY AFTER WE HAD GOTTEN OUR COURT DECISION WE WERE SUPOSE TO GET A APPLICATION FOR  THE CHILDREN'S PASSPORT FILED OUT GO BACK AND PACK UP SIT AROUND FOR A LIL BIT THEN GO TO THE HOME FOR A CELEBRATION THEN ON TO THE TRAIN STATION IN THE TOWN WE WERE IN..FOR OUR TRIP HOME... WELL DO Y'ALL REMEMBER MY BLOG ABOUT PATIENCE WELL I GUESS" I DIDNT " GOOD ENOUGH BECAUSE HERE IS HOW MY DAY WENT .. FOR REAL WHEN WE GOT UP TUESDAY AM I HAVING  SOME COFFE DRINKING TIME AND I HAD STARTED WRITTING MY BLOG FOR YESTERDAY ALL I NEEDED TO PUT IN WERE THE DETAILS ABOUT THE COURT TIME..  
WELL MY LAWYER TELLS ME SHE HAS NEVER BEEN IN FRONT OF THIS JUDGE AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.  WELL THEN WE WAITED FOR TWO HOURS AFTER THE TIME WE WERE TOLD TO BE THERE.. WHICH WASNT BAD BECAUSE  I HAD BROUGHT MY LIL NOTEBOOK AND ADDED SOME THINGS I FELT WAS WORTH THE METION IN THE BLOG. I HAD ABOUT 3 PAGES WRITTEN OUT JUST HAD TO TYPE..THE NIGHT BEFORE I TRIED TO CHANGE OUR TICKETS TO WED. FROM SATURDAY NO PROBLEM I GOT ON THE PUTOR GOT ALL THE WAY TO THE LAST PAGE AND THE CONNECTION JAMMED UP.. MY CREDIT CARD HAD THE PENDING CHARGE BUT I WASN'T ON THE AIRLINES WEBSITE SO I KEPT ON CHECKING ON THAT.. THE PHONE WOULDN'T CALL A 800 NUMBER
WHEN YOU CALLED THE AIRLINES NUMBER I GOT UKRAINIAN PERSON "NO ENGLISH CALL 800 NUM".. WELL AFTER COURT WE GO TO THE NOTARY THAT MY GROUP LET'S  DO ALL THEIR WORK..YEP CLOSED FOR THE DAY."LEEANN HAD TO WALK ABOUT A MILE IN HIGH HEELS" WE GET TAKEN BACK TO THE APARTMENT WE PACK .. I HAD TIME TO WRITE THE BLOG I GO LOOK IN THE BACKPACK NO YELLOW NOTEBOOK I THOUGHT TO MYSELF LORD WHAT DID I WRITE THAT YOU DIDNT WANT ME TO SAY.. I HADNT GOT A CLUE NOW .. SO IN HAST BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WAS IN A HURRY AND I KNEW OUR FAMILY WOULD WANT TOO KNOWN ABOUT COURT I PUT MY THOUGHTS BACK TOGETHER IN THE POST AND SENT IT..IN A HURRY WE THOUGHT WE WERE IN A HURRY TO GET BACK TO THE HOME.. OUR DRIVER SHOWS UP AND SAY WE GOTTA GO..A  BABY, CAR TO MUCH LUGAGE REMEMBER DON'T BRING MUCH..SO THEN WE ARE OFF TO GO WAIT IN THE CAR WHICH SEEMED LIKE FOREVER ONLY REALLY A HOUR.. THE PAPERS ARE READY WE SIGN.. OUR LAWYER HAS SOME BAD NEWS NO TRAIN WE HAVE TO TRAVEL TWO HOURS TO THE NEXT TOWN TO CATCH A TRAIN.. TIME LINE WE HAVE ABOUT 28 minutes TO HAVE A PARTY IN THE HOME.. NEXT TO COURT EARLIER THAT WAS GREAT .. MORE ON THAT LATER.. WE THEN RUSH OUT from the home a FAMILIAR FRIEND,, A DRIVER THAT WAS GONNA TAKE US TO THE TRAIN.. BEFORE WE LEAVE THE PARKING LOT I LOST MY INTERNET CONNECTION TO THE WORLD. MY STICK WAS GOING TO THE ECHOLS THAT WERE COMING TO TOWN THE NEXT DAY. I STILL HAD MY IPAD THAT WE HAVE KINDA RIGGED UP SOME INTERNET ON..WE STOPPED AT A GROCERY STORE TO RUN IN AND  GET SOME FOOD FOR THE TWELVE HOUR RIDE. I GO GET SOME WATER AND SNACKS I LEFT LEEANN AT A LIL DELI.. WE GET BACK IN THE CAR WITH FIVE MINUTES TO MAKE IT TO THE TRAIN,,WE GET ON THE TRAIN OPEN THE IPAD IT WON'T COME ON AT ALL BLACK SCREEN NOTHING... WE CHARGED THE THING NOTHING.. WE SHOOK IT,,MASHED ALL THREE BUTTONS EVERY WAY THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE,,,NO CONNECTION TO THE WORLD..
No checking on THE KIDS AT HOME NO CHECKING ON PARENTS, NOTHING,,STILL DON'T KNOW ABOUT PLANE TICKETS..MY FRIEND   "ARM" "JOE KNOWS" MET US ON THE TRAIN  THE NEXT MORNING AIN'T NOTHING LIKE A FACE YOU KNOW. WE MAKE OUR WAY TO THE AIRPORT WE STOP AT A MCDONALDS I WAS ABLE TOO USE  THEIR WIFI TO SEND JUSTIN A MESSAGE TO BE AT THE Airport..WE GET TO THE AIRPORT I TRY TO CHECK IN AT THE KIOSK PROBLEM!!!!!!  PLEASE   CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE.... HELLO... SO I WAIT WITH THE PATIENCE OF "A OLE MOTHER HEN".. TWO HOURS FOR THE DESK OPENS WITH MY AIRLINES.. YEP YOU GOT IT I WAS THE FIRST IN LINE.. THE LADY TOLD ME IN PLAIN ENGLISH THERE IS NO PROBLEM YOUR FLIGHT WILL BE ON SATURDAY..WHATWOE,!!!
I SAID CAN I PLEASE GO TODAY SAME FLIGHTS TIMES SHE HAD A FEW STRANGE LOOKS TO HER COMPUTER AND TOLD ME ABOUT THE CHARGE ALL I COULD SAY WAS DA!!  We GET OUR TICKETS GO STAND IN THE WRONG LINE FOR A WHILE. GOT TO BE OUR TURN IN THE CORRECT LINE AND GUESS WHAT THAT EXTRA BAG THAT I PAID FOR WHEN I BOUGHT THE TICKETS FOR SATURDAY...WELL    IT DIDN'T TRANSFER OVER THE LADY TOOK MY BAGS AND TOLD ME I NEEDED TO GO BACK WHERE I WAS BEFORE AND PAY FOR THE EXTRA BAG.. GO THRU SECURITY WITH NO PROBLEM.. WE TAKE THE BUS TO THE PLANE CLIMB ON BOARD SIT DOWN AND FOR SOME REASON I PULL OUT THE IPAD LIKE I HAVE 100 TIMES SINCE IT WOULDNT COME ON WHEN I NEEDED SOME HELP..AND SURE AS I AM MIKE GURLEY THE THING COMES ON.. I LOOKED AT LEEANN,, AND I SAID YOU DON'T THINK MY GOD DOESN'T HAVE A GREAT SENCE OF HUMOR THEN YOUR CRAZY... SEE I NEEDED GOD, I DIDN'T NEED THAT "WWW"....HE WAS ALWAY ENOUGH FOR ME TO GET US THROUGH THIS LEG OF OUR JOURNEY..
I GUESS THAT'S WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SHOW ME.. I AM JUST GLAD I NEVER LOST IT..WOW. AS YOU MAY WELL KNOW THIS IS NOT OVER YET.

  1. Mike Dang ... with your fantastic creativity, I agree - you could not make up something like that ... talk about lost in translation - wow! ... I thank God for your patience and for the long and winding road ... I think we all learn more on them than we do the well lit and wide ones ...
