The worst thing with the car was that 3 of the 4 kids I was supervising weren't mine - and 2 of them were in a grocery store 5km from where my car died and neither had a cell phone so I couldn't contact them to let them know their pick-up would be a little late. It all worked out and everyone got home safely.

Car started great this morning so I've got my own car. Dad said he'd feel more comfortable driving his car - it's smaller than mine - so I've got my own car today. He's going to pick up the battery and change it when I get home so that I can still have my car for the cadet fundraising session tonight. Won't sit in a parking lot with the engine off and radio running - although it was only for 10 minutes. Auto club reckoned it was because the battery is the original so its over 5 years old.

Volunteering with the cadets is great. I get to see teenagers at their best - they look so smart in their uniforms and talk about polite. They're a good bunch of kids. Although it is a bit strange being called "Ma'am" especially by my own son LOL smile
