This past week has without a doubt been one for the books. It was an insane week and for once, I'm not sad to see Monday roll around.
Last Monday, Ava and I were gearing up to take Jake the Tank on a long walk. Not that it makes a difference, this dog I swear has a reserve of energy. So, Ava's in the stroller, Jake's leash is on my wrist and I'm gearing up the Ipod to track our distance. Out of nowhere, Jake takes off full force. He knocks me to the ground and WOULDN'T YOU KNOW: Ipod falls to the concrete. The one part that isn't covered by the case, the face, shatters. Completely shatters. Point 1 for the Universe.
Tuesday was Riley's birthday. Tuesday we were supposed to go to the Ranger game. Tuesday the skies opened up and hailed baseball size. We did not go to the Ranger game. Point 2 for the Universe. On my way home from school, thank GOD kids were not with me, I was hit by an 18 wheeler. Damage was minimal, just the passenger side mirror and some body damage. It would have been far worse. Point 3 for the Universe.
Thursday we took the car to meet with the insurance claims adjuster. Wouldn't ya know that the estimate is 20 bucks over our deductible? Figures. Go ahead point 4. Take it. Point 4 for the Universe.
Then comes Friday. The kids wanted to swim. I was all set to take them. I went down to the garage to find Ava's floaties. I came in contact with a broken ceramic dish that sliced my hand right open. Eight stitches and no pain meds later, I'm ready for this week to kick rocks. Can this day be worth 2 points? I think so. There you go Universe, points 5 and 6.
At this point, I tap out. I stayed in a bubble for Saturday and Sunday and patiently waited for Monday to roll around. Come on Monday, make this a good week. Sorry, there's not a lot of interesting kid stories. Riley did inform me that the Pilgrims died a really really really really REALLY long time ago. She guesses about 1976 is when they died. Man, that WAS a really long time ago. ;) Have a great week everyone!!
