A day?

Well, it was an awful day.  I awoke at 5:30 to Kevin saying "what? did you oversleep?"  ummm...YEAH! Hell YEAH I overslept!  Time to wake up.  I woke up and showered and got ready.  I went down to wake the girls only to find out...the tooth fairy forgot to show up last night.  DAMN!  It must be because the girls switched rooms, so we dealt with it...life is good?

We piled into the car (the car that Brett wrecked, but that was too good a deal to pass up, at $500) and got ready to go.  I was in the process of starting it when Monica shut the door.  She only shut the door.  Nothing more.  The passenger side window shattered all over the girls.  SHIT!  Glass everywhere...in their shoes, on the coats, EVERYWHERE!

We regrouped and got into the van.  No problem, we have the van.  Yeah, right.  The van overheated in the 1.4 miles it took to get to mom's.  I drank some coffee and waited, then put water and antifreeze in the van.  1 1/2 gallons!  It was dry.  Why?  Who knows, but I didn't have time to ask why.  Kevin demanded that I trade vehicles with him, so I did.  Got to work only 1 min late, after 20 min of BS.  Not bad.

Tonight, I saw my best friend for an hour or so.  I had good food, wept on a friends shoulder, and generally was made to feel good.  I love Joker's. I love Tammy.  I love having a friend who loves me unconditionally.  Tammy rocks.  See ya next Tuesday, babe.

One more thought.  My mom is the best.  How many babysitters would offer a free night, EVERY week.  She allows us the luxury of seeing our friends and hanging out. She is the bomb.  I love you, Mom.

That entry made me exhausted!  I think I would have taken a sick day if I'd been you.  Thank you for the wonderful comment in my journal.  I love you too.

I can't remember how many times the tooth fairy slept right through the night, and forgot to do her job! Been there done that! Your a great Mom anyway!

Oh, about the tooth fairy:  I have a sneaking suspicion the girls know the truth; they just want to keep that money rolling in.  Tell Brett to decide on his birthday dinner.... I can get a rump roast if he wants roast.  I'll even mash some taters, especially for him, to go with it.  Or tater tot casserole?  I need to know before we shop.

You have a good mama
Take care of yourself! Sometimes Glass gets fatigued when the car has been in a wreck
