Happy stupid 4th of July
What a crappy day so far. I've decided that I really need to start keeping note and blogging the events of my days since the things that happen to me really only happen in slapstick comedies and perhaps someone may some day take the events of my life and make millions off of them.
11:00 am - Try as I might I cannot stay in bed. My kids are screaming and apparently they locked themselves out of their bedroom. Because when I moved in someone pushed the key that was on the top of the door into some bottomless crack I cannot get it open. I destroy many small objects in an attempt to make a new key and end up eventually having to remove the entire face of the doorknob just to get it unlocked.
2:00 pm - For some magical reason the toliet overflows (and I am left wondering which toy is missing...). I do not own a plunger. Despite that I only have 15 dollars and no gasoline I recongnize the emergency, throw many towels on the floor and grab my things to run to Target to buy a plunger.
2:05 pm - Of course, I have a flat tire. I call AAA and since it is the 4th of July I am told I can anticipate a several hour long wait. I call a friend to bring a plunger but the tags on her car are expired so she has to take 'back streets' to get here with it. AAA arrives amazingly within 15 minutes - before my friend even shows up. I hope he didn't expect a tip.
6:00 pm - Have to explain to the kids that the plans we had for fireworks are not going to work out since we can't drive all the way to Carmichael on a donut tire. They are used to this kind of thing and really have no reaction.
...will update as the day goes on...
