I needed wipes and diapers so I got up this morning and decided to go to Costco. I could make it back before Ainsley had to go to school, so it would have been fine.

Finally got out of the house at 11am. Went to cash check and change cash to yen. Oh, whoops. The club cash cage is closed for construction for like 3 months. Ugh. So I went to the NEX and cashed a check, then went to the bank to change the yen. (i've forgotten my ATM pin number so I've got to use these ancient pieces of paper called checks. I'm pretty sure I'm the last person using them.)

Well...by this point I was getting crabby. But I was gonna push on, even tho I felt like I should stay home. Got on the road around 1130. Not too bad, I could maybe still make it back in time for school. Well, traffic was awful. Not really, but Ainsley was awful and Riley was screaming and I wanted to turn around, but I pushed forward anyways. Got to Costco, got everything I needed. They even had some fun extra things. Had lunch. It was already 2, but if I trucked it Ainsley could be back before snack time.

I was thinking to myself, see, that wasn't the Holy Ghost telling me to turn around, I was just being wimpy. Went to turn the car on and it wouldn't start. Wouldn't even turn. No power at all! The minute it happened I knew I'd lost that argument with Heavenly Father. That was why I shouldn't have gone. Nobody even knows how to get to Costco but me! I couldn't even call a friend to come and get us. (Shelle knows, but she's on va-cay)

I figured I'd walk down to the tire place to see if they had jumper cables and could help. No such luck. The guy also seemed to be the only guy at Costco that didn't speak English. I was almost crying at this point.

As I was walking I noticed some people that looked like they might speak English. It was an Australian couple that had borrowed a car from friends to go to Costco. They weren't sure if there were jumper cables, but they checked and tada! Cables! They loaded up their car and came and helped. The guy had to push the van out because I didn't back in. D: But we got it started. Thankfully!

Ainsley and I said a prayer thanking Heavenly Father for sending someone to help us. We made it home around 4, took the car straight to the autoport and walked home with the stroller.

I did find something super fun at Costco. It's naan. I have no idea how to heat it up since the instructions are in Japanese, but check out the brand.
