Worst Nightmare!!!

Well, it happened. The number one thing I have always feared, actually happened to me. I almost don't even want to say, because it is SOOOO embarassing. But.... I ran out of gas on the FREEWAY!! Could I be a bigger retard, what 25 year old adult with 2 children in the back of her car, actually runs out of gas. The answer is me! I honestly don't know where my brain has been the last couple of days...I am doing the dumbest things, left and right, everytime I turn around I am being stupid. It all started Wednesday, Thiago had drove my car all day and had run the gas tank pretty low, and of course he failed to tell me. I got in my car to go to work Thursday morning, and saw that it was low, the gas light wasn't on, so I figured I could make it to Roy and would be fine. Well, I got to work just fine. For lunch that day I had made a Dr. appointment in Ogden, I ended up getting out of there a little later than I was supposed to and I didn't want to be late for my appointment, so I called Thiago and asked him if I would be okay to make it to Ogden without getting gas. He said I would be fine, but to make sure and fill up before I tried to drive back. The Doctor was forever behind (like they always are) and I was gone for like 2 1/2 hours. I was worried that my work was going to be concerned where I was, so I hurried and drove back without filling up. Risky, I know, but I made it. So that night comes, and Ashley came to meet me at work cause we were going to a family dinner at Maddox with my entire extended family. Well, I got distracted in the excitement of getting the kids in the car and talking to Ashley, that I totally spaced my gas situation. We got in the car and headed off. Around 31st street, I noticed the car acting funny, it was slowing down like I was pushing on the breaks, but I wasn't. All the sudden I remembered the gas. Oh, my gosh...how mad was I . Can you say embarassing. I hurried and got over in the right lane trying to make it as close to the exit as I could. The car just kept slowing. Here I am cruising on the freeway, almost down to 20 miles an hour until the car just stopped. I started crying and freaking out, Ashley was the calm one and started making the phone calls. Luckily, Jill and Kyle were just passing us on the freeway (they were headed the same place we were), being the kind souls they are they pulled off to go and get us some gas and bring it back. I sat there crying, while Carson and Brevin patted my arm and Carson kept saying "Naughty new car, its okay mommy". Well, soon U-dot pulled up behind us, to see what the problem is...Ashley did all the talking and said we had help on the way. He pulled away and Kyle showed up to fill us up with at least a gallon. Well, we were so completely dry that the gallon wouldn't even do it. So Kyle stays with us, while Jill heads for my gas. In the meantime, U-dot shows up again, wondering why we are still sitting there. Kyle explains the situation, and the nice U-dot guy filled us up and got us started. We made it to Maddox, only about 45 minutes late. AAAHHH, what a nerd I am . Sorry, sorry, sorry to Jill, Kyle, Tam and kids...but most of all thank-you for rescuing us. I swear this will never happen again, I have definitely learned my lesson on running low on gas. For all of you out there, if this ever happens to you, after you fill up your gas don't start the ignition immediatly, turn the key just a little so your battery lights up then turn it off again , 3 times do this before starting the car. This will get the gas flowing in the pipes or something like that. Otherwise, you will still be sitting there. Well, there you go ...another crazy, embarassing story about Teri. (Between this and my April fools joke, I am really sounding like an idiot)
