This past week was pretty tough...especially on Thursday. I guess my luck just ran out...no kidding...I got up like normal at 5:15 ready to start my day...drank a little Diet Coke to wash down my blood pressure meds...got out the ironing board and plugged up the iron...checked Facebook and preheated the oven...all these are my morning rituals. Picked out my clothes and Chloe Jo's outfit for the day...watered my flowers...washed my hair...brushed my teeth...went back to iron my clothes...the iron would not work.
Since I am not one to iron anything days before I plan to wear my clothing, I was forced to wear wrinkled pants...they had a little dryer time to knock the major creases out of them. But, if you were wondering why my pants were so wrinkled at school...that is why.
On my way to school...I had a flat tire in McKenzie...which just happens to be where my mother lives...only she went to visit my sister JoMeagan in Memphis so she was not home when I called to get her to help me. SO, I called David to leave work to come help me.
He tells me to unhook the carseat and have it ready to put in his truck. I just happen to have a 2 year old who is very patient. She is yelling "Mama, get me outta this car!" I am pulled over at the Baptist Church off the four lane trying to unhook fourteen fasteners...waiting on David to fix my tire...while I am wearing my even more wrinkled clothes because the iron would not work.
So I am crying...Chloe Jo is crying...I'm wearing my wrinkled pants...waiting for David to get there...he gets there and puts air in the tire...we swap vehicles so I can get to work on time...but that means I had to drive the "Duckmobile" in my even more wrinkled pants to work...with my frazzled hair from trying to unhook the carseat...but I manage to get Chloe Jo dropped off...and I get to work on time.
I went down to get a Diet Coke to try and get myself together before the kids get there. And would you believe it???? I actually got a paper cut and had to wear a big bandaid with my even more wrinkled pants and frazzled hair in the duckmobile on the way home that afternoon! ha
So, I bought me a new iron and a 6-pack of Diet Coke...but I am still not ironing until in the morning. Have a great week, friends:)
