Schooled on the Weekend...
I guess we're always learning...even on our 'days off'.Friday evening I went grocery shopping with my husband. It took him ten minutes to clean and de-germ the cart. I poked fun at him. He asked, "You don't clean your cart?"
No. I'm a mad woman who lives life on the edge.
By Sunday afternoon I was curled up on the couch crying over aching joints and a stuffy head. He made me dinner and did the dishes...while constantly reminding me it was my "damned dirty grocery cart ".
Lesson learned. Thank you, Chad Seckman, OCD extraordinaire.
Saturday, I knocked a glass off the counter and broke it.
Cole (#2 boy) came rushing in. Something broke!
MOM DID IT!!!
Cool. Welcome to the club, Mom. But you still rank amateur in the breakage hall of fame.
Originality of story? 0 points ...I should have been doing ballet spins in stocking feet and knocked it off.
Value of breakable? 1 point...cheap freebie glass from McDonalds, easily forgettable
Effect of damge? 5 points....glass scattered from one doorway to another...smashing!
It was good to learn there is a system in place to rate damage history...I understand Carter (boy#3)still holds the record high score
Sunday my mom calls to tell me she fell and broke a rib. I gave her the required lecture on her need for Life Alert.
"Oh hell, my life alert works fine. Rob (the neighbor) was over here in five minutes and I don't have to pay him a monthly fee."
I suppose with age does come wisdom...and it's a good thing...something has to offset the loss of balance!
So, how 'bout you? Learn anything good this weekend?
