January 4th, my second day back at work went much better than. I went to bed at 8:30 the night before and was consequently able to sleep for almost 10 hours straight! Lilly didn't wake up until I did so my day started off amazingly. I got ready and managed to leave and arrive at work on-time. My first 3 classes went much more smoothly with their new assigned seats and it seemed like no time at all had passed before Dad arrived with Lilly.
He needed to run some errands so he left Lilly with me at about 10:45am. At 11:00am he called me to say that he thinks he ran out of gas and was still sitting in the school parking lot. He decided to go to the high school office and ask for someone to drive him to get gas for the car. I texted Derek so he would know and he then called dad to inform him that it might be the battery and not that the car needed gas. (We had an issue with it a few weeks ago.) However, Derek couldn't get a hold of dad until he had already found someone to get gas with him and had returned to the school where he decided that yes, it was the battery. So, Derek helped Dad figure out how to jump the car over the phone (it's a Prius and therefore has to be jumped differently than regular cars) and Dad got it started. Dad then came in to get Lilly just before my class started. However, when Dad got back out to the car it wouldn't start again! Now, the teacher who had helped him before was no longer available and Dad didn't want to bother anyone else so Derek had to come to the school to jump the car for the second time. Derek managed to get it started and Dad went home with Lilly.
When 3:00 rolled around I called Dad to see if he was still planning on coming to pick me up from work. He said yes as long as the car started. Ten minutes later he called and said that it wouldn't start. So, Derek had to go to the house to pick up Lilly so I could feed her without too much time passing (I'm trying to keep my milk supply up and want to use as few bottle as possible.) But, Derek didn't call Dad to tell him he was coming to get them and Dad warmed up a bottle for Lilly before Derek arrived. So, there was then no point in bringing Lilly to me and Derek switched out the Alero for the Prius and came to pick me up. He picked me up and then we took the car to the shop to see what was wrong. They checked the battery and said that it was fine. So, we went home and I guess we'll see if the car works tomorrow!
