Once apon a time, a crazy shut-in was told of the death of a beloved realative of her father. Her father's uncle was a source of amusment around the crazy shut-in's childhood home. Countless stories were told of this larger than life man who loved children, animals, semi precious stones, and photography. He was a hero to crazy's father and her father felt the need to journey to a large city and comisourate with others who would miss the man.
Crazy's mother had to work, her hubby had to go in a different direction (Luvell, WY), the only brother who will babysit for her had school. She was in a conudrome, and felt bad that her father would have to greave alone.
Crazy called two women that lived near her. Two angels, two saints, two wonderful ladies. They volinteired to watch crazy's children while she journied afar to say farewell.
It was difficult to arrange the outting with her father and involved many complex phone calls to crazy's angels and hubby, but it was finnaly aranged.
The journey required that crazy and her father leave at an early hour. She got up at 4:30 in the morning, which was an hour that crazy hadn't seen since she needed prozac. She did acomplish the tasks of cleaning herself and preparing for the journey with great speed. She showed up early and starteled her fahther with her timming.
The beginning of their journey was long, and crazy was afraid that hubby wouldn't be equal to the task of mothering her left-behind-children. Hubby isn't known for his mothering skills. However he managed to shop for crazy and take the children to the angels even if he put the littlest one's shirt on backwards, and didn't comb her hair.
Meanwhile Crazy and her father had to stop many times for potty brakes, and needed a donut in Heber. They made good time, and went to the happiest funeral that crazy had ever been to. She saw people who she didn't know still existed. For they had dropped off of the map.
In Vernal, The angels played musical children and everyone did well. Crazy had a good day and annoyed her father with her social ineptness all the way to the far off kingdom and back. He told her she talked too much. Hubby however was told not to come back until friday and Crazy will miss him like,..well Crazy.
P.S. Crazy would like to thank the Angels and let them know that if they need anything to call her.

I'm sorry to hear about your Uncle, that was so great you were able to go with your Dad though. That was a funny post too. Men (Dads) suprise us sometimes with their abilities to make things happen with the kids even if they do forget a few things, the kids still seem to survive.
