My Great Day Turned Terrible Just Like That! Like THAT!

Today started out great. Annie slept for 8 hours for the first time in her short little life, which means I slept for 7 for the first time in 11 weeks (not counting the nights my mother in law fed Annie all night so I could sleep, I still had to wake and pump so those nights don't quite count (although they were very, very great Cheryl!)).

I decided since I had so much energy we'd tackle Spokane Discount and Target all in one day. Two places in one day is a big deal these days. Just leaving the house involves so much preparation - most of which revolves around getting Annie as full as possible so that she'll sleep while I'm getting her in and out of the car multiple times.

Spokane Discount is my new favorite place to shop. They get all Costco's merchandise when it's out of season or just won't sell. I got Matt a swimsuit for $3 and Charlie got 2 swim suits with matching swim shirts for $4 each. They won't fit until 2009 and 2010 but for $4 we're happy to store them. Oh and Matt's won't fit until he gains 10 pounds but I'm sure he'll agree its worth it.

So we leave the discount store and I call Matt to brag about how awesome my day is going. I do this while driving which I know I shouldn't but I do anyways. I hang up.

I pull into Target's parking lot, no longer on my cell phone, and hit the car parked next to where I'm trying to park. What? What's wrong with me? I wasn't on the phone, the kids weren't crying, there was plenty of room. I'm just that dumb that I was able to hit a parked car with no other excuse than I'm dumb.

I left a note because I'm pretty sure the Lord was watching and the woman just called a little bit ago. I was secretly hoping the note would blow away. The Lord can't be mad at Mother Nature can he? Anyways, nothing cracked I just scratched her paint a little (as well as my own). She's going to get an estimate next week and call me back.

In an effort to salvage my good day I'm avoiding calling my husband to get yelled at. I'd prefer him to read about this on the Internet and hopefully laugh a little before chewing me out?

Below is Annie laughing about it. She doesn't care. It's just money right?

Oh wait. Now she's serious. Wasted money means less cute clothes and less eating out and that really sucks.
