pardon me while i gripe...
Today was one of those days I would like to rewind and then sleep straight through. We had my vehicle in for $300+ worth of work last week...I took it back to the dealership today for the same issues this morning.
While the boys and I were sitting on Business 121 cursing the project manager on the expansion of that particular stretch of Texas highway, Lynn called to inform me that he'd just had an accident. Nothing catastrophic, noone was hurt (THANKFULLY), he just ran up a curb while farting around with his blackberry (and if I've told him once, I have told him ONE THOUSAND times, "don't mess with that thing and try to drive at the same time, someone is going to get hurt!!"). He managed to blow out a rear tire, trash the front tire, rim, wheel AND strut. Then he couldn't get the spare tire out so we had to call a wrecker to get it to the dealership.
Now to find the positives in this day: at least we can afford to have two cars and afford to pay for the repairs for two cars; at least he didn't hit a mailbox or a person or another car while he was being sofa king; he wasn't injured; our boys are healthy and happy; we have air conditioning (because it is hotter than forty freaking hells here right now).
After a day like this, Lynn still came home and wisked the boys off for a boys' night out and mom's night in. Is he the best or what? My blood pressure is still through the roof, but for something else that I was just reminded of from last week...I almost want to blog about it just to vent, and while I know I would feel SO much better it is not the mature thing to do so I won't. I'm still debating on whether or not to send an email about the "issue." GAH. I'm taking deep, cleansing breaths right now. Alot of them. I should probably have a brown bag (with a nice, open bottle of Jack Daniels it) near by in case I start to hyperventilate.
For now, I am going to go make some new Captured Souls. I need some calm right now.
