CALGON......

Well, I had a good morning, I had a great lunch with a friend and her funny little boy.

Then, the rest went down hill from there in a really big way.

I planned to run up to the school this afternoon and help the librarian with a few new books.  In my rushing, I didn't pay much attention to what I was doing.  So, I jumped in the car, hit the garage button, adjusted my seat and started backing out...

BAM

What was that?  Pull the car back up...get out...apparently the garage was not completely open when I thought it was.  The garage door was hanging off the tracks on one side and bent in the middle.  My spoiler was laying upside down on top of my roof.

I wrestled with the garage door to get it back on the tracks...took out my frustration with a hammer and 2x4 on one of the tracks that was bent...and got it to go up so I could get my car out.  Let's not talk about how I got up there to reach all of that.

My car didn't fare quite as well.  I broke the spoiler off the top which has my brake light, my satellite radio antenna, and washer fluid.  Mark says it's not that big of a deal, it can be put back on, it's not scratched, just popped off.

For me, it was just the straw that broke the camel's back for my basket case state of mind the last couple of weeks.

CALGON....Take Me AWAY!!!

Thanks Chels - it's definitely been a DAY! Is it bedtime yet? It's gotta be! I'm looking forward to next week! Maresa is off all week and we need a break in a bad, bad way!

Just an update to this post.

I am married to the most amazing man. Not only is he patient and kind and forgiving, but he is a genius of an engineer!

He took my car to the dealership and was given an estimate of almost $1000. He stopped at the auto parts store on the way home, bought a $6 tube of JB Weld, then got a new soldering iron today for $18 and it's as good as new.

I'm so grateful that he fixes my screw-ups without thinking that I am a clutz!
