Aww, poor kid. :( And poor mom. It sounds like this was a pretty crappy day.

I know what you mean. I had a 2 and 4 year old with me. The 4 year old had an accident in her carseat!!!! Ugh! Then we had to pull over and let them potty . . . in the woods! There was no where else to go. Some girl’s car started overheating. I had some water with me, so I was able to help her out. I hate getting stuck like that.

We were stuck in a line like that on our way to Walt Disney World … down a friggin’ mountain! Thankfully we were behind the logging truck, and not the other way around. lol That would have made me nervous x 10.

Yep, it was miserable. We couldn’t turn off our cars either because most of the time we were driving at about 3-4 mph. I googled the shut down and they said it would be in effect for another week! Eeek!

1 1/2 hours?? Oh my word. That’s terrible. Hopefully this will help in the future. ;)

I could have used this yesterday. We were traveling on I-40 West and were caught in traffic for 1 1/2 hours. They were fixing an overpass bridge. There were cranes blocking the road, but no one was operating them. It was really frustrating!!!! Lots of gas has been wasted because of that problem.
