Two things have happened over the past two days that make me want to just crawl right back into bed and pull the covers over my head for a few days.
Yesterday, I was sitting for 2 seconds (probably reading a blog) waiting for Logan to fall to sleep before I went out to empty the car. I heard that horrible cat retching sound and bounded to my feet to make sure the mess didn’t end up on the rug.
The Sit ‘n Spin became a Step ‘n Slip. You know those old time slap-stick type movies where the guy steps on a banana peel or ice or something and both feet go flying up in the air? Ya. That was me. Re-wrenched my back (Hmm. I was going to link to a post I thought I wrote about that…in a nutshell, I slipped on something at my Dad’s house over Christmas – with Logan in my arms – and completely killed my back and hip and bruised up my knee quite nicely.) This time, bruises on my shin, knee, hip, leg, and shoulder…BUT something slipped my hip back into place and it feels better than it has since Christmas. Crazy.
Today, while pulling out of the pre-school parking lot – and trying to avoid the nice lady who was LETTING me out – I rubbed up against a parked car on my right. Seriously. Rubbed.
Like a good person, I stopped and talked with her – gave her my number and stuff. And looked at her bumper. (Thanks to What a Card for sitting with my kiddos at the time!) Looks like some dirt transferred from my car to hers. She is, of course, driving a new car…and has never heard of car polish. She’s already called me (twice) to get MORE information. Her husband will look at the “scratch” tonight and figure out what they’re going to do.
Wanna see the “damage” to my car?
"Accident" - view 1
"Accident" - view 2
I know that she has every right to file a claim, but I seriously hope the insurance people look at it, laugh, and tell them to use soap and water (or polish at the most). *sigh* Okay, maybe I don’t really hope they’ll laugh.
Actually, I seriously hope that the husband is level headed enough to realize that a good buff is really all it needs.

The Zimmer Zoo 
Lemons and Lemonade
Tanya, over at Mike and Tanya’s Corner of the World, sent this my way. Very much appreciated after yesterday’s lemons. Thank you Tanya! 🙂 Funny – her husband’s name is Mike and she has a son named Logan. All she needs now is twins 😉 (Okay Tanya – I know…Logan and the single 4-month-old is probably enough for now, huh? LOL)
Fist, give some blogger-love to the person who gave it to you. (check!)
Second, nominate 10 of your favorite blogger buddies.
I saw this award on someone else’s blog (Debi’s?) and she explained what it meant to her. I’m going to copy that…It takes a creative, hard-working kid to make a lemonade stand work. And if you keep at it, you’ll succeed. This is what I think of. So, I’m going to list 10 bloggers who represent these qualities. You may have gotten it before, but I’m too lazy to go look *grin*
(If you happen across this post before I leave a comment that you have an award, sorry – it’s that whole lazy thing going on again.)
Oh, and an update about yesterday’s lemons…The lady’s insurance guy called this morning. He was quite nice and asked questions about the “accident” – I’m guessing to see if our stories matched..? But nothing about my insurance – so I’m sure there will be another call coming.
