WARNING: Look out for a sleep deprived, brain cell losing, in a rush, pregnant woman who absentmindedly backs out into descending garage doors. Yep, that would be me that caused $1300 damage to the garage door last week. What a mess people! My little mishap prevented us from leaving on a little get away family trip to Zermatt which resulted in very disappointed and unhappy kids. Especially since we had planned this Zermatt trip to help ease the pain of not being in Disneyland this week, which is traditionally the week we take our annual Disney trip. Almost everyone in Jaren's family had unexpected circumstances arise in the past few months and weeks that caused us to have to postpone the trip until November. Even though initially it was a disappointment, we realized I really wasn't in a position... with my current physical state... to fully enjoy the trip HAD we gone. The thought of all the walking in the park, causing extra swelling in my legs and pressure in my back, along with sleeping
without my mattress at night. Oh my...It wouldn't have bode well I'm afraid.
Although, on second thought, I may have wished I was in Disney the morning of last Wednesday so I wouldn't have had my driving catastrophe. LOL Kudos to my sensitive husband who calmly dealt with the news and a distraught wife. Who came home from work mid-day to deal with the situation. Who asked several times throughout the day if I was okay. And who manned the &#*@^ home phone so that I could try and take a much needed, uninterrupted afternoon nap. It is HE, and not my driving skills, that makes my Happy List!
Other random things that make my list this week...
*Dad still taking Friday off and we all going out to lunch and to the movies...
*Kyleigh being awarded a "Hillcrest Hero" at her Jr. High...
*Season 9 Premiere of American Idol
*Emma's breakfast surprise for me...these scrumptious crepes she and Grandma made together...
*Working on getting the kids scrapbooks and photos more organized...ya gotta love nesting!
Hehe! I love it!!!! We'll ge laughing about this one for years (in a good way...if that makes sense). Thanks for posting the pic, it is so much better than hearing it described over the phone. Hope you (and your legs) are hanging in there!! Say hi to my girls for me! Cheers!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your garage door & so glad that your insurance will cover it. When we first moved here I shut mine on my car TWICE before Jeff hung a ball down from the ceiling so I'd know how far in to park the car. (It was pretty embarrassing - not to mention expensive to fix the crumpled panel!)
