Yesterday Version 2

So last night I wrote to you about how wonderful and good my kids were during their long day at Children's, but I left out a few parts.

Our day started with the computer not starting up. And not starting and not starting. For about an hour I fiddled and futzed until the silly thing started working.

It is working again, but in a glitchy sort of way. I hate to say it, but I think it might be living it's last days.

Then we went outside. The boys worked hard at causing great bodily injury to each other and only succeeded in wounding the swing set. The glider is no longer a glider, just a hanging piece of metal on the side of the swing set.

Then we caught a very large and ugly bug. Here's how you do it, catch them live in plastic zipper bags or boxes. Then put them in the freezer. They die intact, so they look alive and there is no squish. It makes for something pretty interesting to look at later.

We tried to hurry an early lunch into the day before our drive out to Children's. It was only partly successful. Little Miss sort of redecorated out kitchen instead of eating her lunch. We left it for the dog and headed out to the van.

The van had a flat tire. We made a little detour to the filling station for air before heading down town. I've never filled a tire before, so that left me asking strangers for their opinions, as in, does this look like it has enough air?

Then somewhere along the day I lost an earring. Not that big a deal, but they were pearl earrings and I've had them forever. I've worn that pair almost every day for nearly 10 years. I have 3 piercings in each ear, so I can wear a lot of earrings every day, but I was just partial to that pair. Pearls go with everything. They're classic, you know.

Anyway, there were plenty of other goofy things too, like Little Miss squeezing her juice bag into her car seat as we sat in traffic, just because she likes to see the arc of juice come out of the straw. Oh yeah, good times!

Just goes to show there is more than one way to look at a day!
