Why do I smell like gas?

Ok so I am the dumbest person in the world or at least this is how I feel.

Today Emily's school had a field trip planned for a boat ride and I was a chaperone.

Last night we had the board meeting for her school on this boat, it was really nice and I knew Emily would love it. After the meeting I had to stop for gas, I pulled into a station on the way home and it was $4.29 a gal, I was like no way am I paying $4.29 yet if I don't have to. I traveled farther into the 'city' where there should be multiple options, I saw $4.19, $4.22 and I kept driving "OH Stop and Shop has lower prices and I have their card"....as I pull up to Stop & Shop- No lights- Darn they are closed. I drive a little further, Darn Citgo is also closed. I decide I will stop in the morning. So we head to to school this morning and since I am in auto pilot I drive by all the 'city' options and now have to stop on the way to the 'country. I drive near the next few stations and there were like 20cars or so it seemed and I was like No problem and I can go a little further and get gas at the next station........................NOPE.............I RAN OUT OF GAS!!!
My poor little car went putt putt putt and went to sleep. I almost dropped a F bomb but chose to say OMG instead and threw a few things around. My daughter advised me that I shouldn't throw things and I said a bad word. I am in the middle of no where, I reach for my cell and have no signal- what the heck am I supposed to do??? I get out of the car, I find a signal, I call my hubby, I call the school and tell them what happened and we won't make the field trip. I am so emotional at this point I want to cry out loud 1) How stupid can I be, thinking I can go a little further, like I drive a Super car or something 2) My little girl is going to devastated that she will miss the boat ride 3) How am I going to get gas I am near nothing or no one. A DOT truck pulls up and the man driving offers me help, but had nothing to get gas so he apologized and moved on. I finally got in touch with my mom, who lives 40mins away, to come and help us. I am just around a corner and people are driving fast, I am afraid someone will hit us....Another DOT truck pulls up with 2 guys this time and offer help, they also can't help with the gas but are also worried about the turn, they left me with 3 orange cones in back of my car and asked me to leave them on the side of the road when I was done- their kindness makes me wanna cry. Then one of the other Mom's calls me and says they will wait a bit and maybe we can still make the boat. My Mom arrives and now we head to the gas station, when we arrive I walk in and ask the lady "I ran out of gas do you sell gas cans?" she says "yes but they are $10.00" I said "I am out of gas and in the middle of no where, I will pay the $10.00" . So we head back to my car, I talk with the Mom's & Teachers again and advise them to go without us, I didn't want to ruin their trip. They said we could go with the other class tomorrow if we wanted- Em will be ecstatic. Now I get to my car and can't get the gas into my tank, the $10.00 gas tank is too fat and oddly shaped that I can't get the gas to empty. So I pull out my water bottle and empty it and try to make a funnel, nothing sharp in my car, inside my head I am swearing up a storm....I finally use my teeth and bit the bottle so I could tear it. I finally get the gas in, car starts and we head to station to get more gas and then off to breakfast.
OMG how stupid, I feel so dumb. I wanna just cry. Everyone was so nice about the whole thing.

Note to self: Buy something sharp to keep in car, Buy Funnel for car, Buy emergency kit for car, Don't turn your nose up at $4.29 gas..........

The thing that kills me is, the gas station that I drove away from because I refused to pay the $4.29 a gal last night is the same gas station that I had to buy the $10.00 gas can and refill my tank after I got it running. Is someone trying to tell me something??
