So Far This Week is Better

Last week at this time I had the accident. I know, sorry to remind you all (and myself) but I failed to mention how my week didn’t get THAT much better. Oh and TODAY, I found out my car won’t be fixed until the end of this month. It’s gonna take three weeks people!! Lesson learned.

So after I dropped the car off and got my rental mini-van (that apprently I will now be quite attached to at the end of the month) I went to work out (yay! good for me!) When I got home I realized that I had left my garage door opener in the smashed up car and since I didn’t have a house key, I was locked out of my house.

Yes folks, it only got better…

That is when I started cursing my own name for actually locking every door to the house, even the back one. I decided that maybe there was a window open somewhere. See, I would have simply driven back to the collision place but I had just made a lunch date with a friend and needed a shower in a MAJOR way. So unlocked-window-hunting I went. Turns out one of our bedroom windows that is low to the ground remained unlocked. (And yes all you potential theives out there – it is now locked so don’t even think about it!) I bet I was quite the sight crawling through my own doggone window, all sweaty and smelly.

I did manage to retreive the GDO right before I met my friend for lunch. Phew!

And just so you know, all this was going on while all the kids were at school. If it had been with kids I might of just had to check out of life for the rest of the day.

Oh and then on Friday I went to get something out of the back of my the mini van and as I went to close the HUGE METAL “GATE” I clocked myself on the top of my head with it SO hard that I could see those little stars from the old Saturday morning cartoons and tears began to well up in my eyes. Pretty sure I had a mini concussion (Goggle THAT people!)

Luckily, yesterday (praise God!) we made it through unscathed.

Oh except I got “swindled” at the mall into buying these:

I got one 8 X 10 of The B Man’s pic for free and paid for two 5 x 7’s of the one of Little G. That’s how slow they were at The Picture People. They were literally out in the mall, begging people to come get pictures of their kids taken and my friend Claudia and I obliged.

Oh and can you totally tell how The B Man was dressed for the occasion?? Yeah, that’s one of the “junk” shirts he likes to wear that I mentioned in a post week before last. At least now it’s on the blog for posterity. Don’t you know that just warms the cockles of this mother’s heart.

I will leave you with one other image from today that no, I did not purchase. What a shame, huh?

P.S. If you came over from McMommy’s POW (or anywhere else for that matter) check out my GIVEAWAY that is going on now! : )
