I want to buy the world a Coke

Best laid plans... My weekend was supposed to be a trip out to the Rockford area to meet friends for lunch and then get two kids haircuts by another friend. Ashleigh had cut a chunk out of Adi's hair that others would tell me was not noticeable but as mommy it bothered me. The day started out well enough. I went with a teacher friend for coffee in the morning and then planned to head out. Well, as it turns out, that coffee run told me I wasn't going to go anywhere. Including all the way back home. On my way to Starbucks the radio turned off. I knew I wasn't going anywhere else. I headed back toward home and about a mile away from home my gauges flat lined and I pulled into the nearest parking lot and called the hubby for a rescue hr came and got the kids and I and jumped the van to get it home. Long story short, after 5 hours of wrestling with Dodge engine small spaces, 2 trips to Auto Zone to test the alternator (fine) and then the battery (fine), turns out all the can needed was a drink of Coke and an old toothbrush to clean off the corrosion on the terminals. I love my husband and how handy (and patient!) he is!
