so i knew i should have felt bad about jenna, but i didn't. karma got me back. tuesday when i was babysitting, i got a flat tire. not just kinda flat. totally flat. so dave had to leave work to go get stephen and the kids, take stephen to work, then take the kids to works with him until i was mobile again. two hours later(one spent waiting for the guy to come whange my tire, another spent driving from smyrna to decatur at 50mph)i get the kids and we go get new tires at sam's where we spent an hour and a half waiting. thank god the kids are so well behaved. they didn't really whine, didn't fight.....they were just bored.
i distinctly remember once my mom and i got a flat between troy and towanda. i also remember being a brat about the whole thing---tired and whiny and a general pain in the ass. i called my mom when we were done at sam's and apologized for all the shit i gave her growing up. it seems everytime we get the kids for the weekend my admiration and respect for my mom triples. and everytime i end up calling her to apoloigize for being a bratty child and to tell her i love her.
later that nite, i freaked out. it seems the door to the porch in the guestroom had been left open and i couldn't find the cats. i called dave so upsest that he couldn't understand what i was saying. it was not pretty. turns out, all three monsters were hiding. i still don't know where, but i guess that point is moot. the important thing is they didn't jump ship. god i love those ridiculous cats.
the way i see it, now my karma has evened put and there aare going to be no more diasters!!
