I knew right when I woke up yesterday that it was going to be 'one of those days'. I didn't sleep well at all, the girls were up late so they were still sleeping when I left for work, I felt crummy from this little chest cold I have going on - BLAH!
The day was going considerably fine until I left to run some errands for work. I jumped in my car, stepped on the brake, put it in reverse and...hmmm....?? Something felt weird. Oh, yeah...my brakes were pressed all the way down to the floor of the car. I took a quick look around to see if there was some sort of button that needed to be pushed or pulled or something (I had no clue)...and then saw on my dash that the brake light was on. I continued to back out and drove around to the back parking lot. I just wanted to test things out to see how bad it really was. Yes, my brakes were completely out, but I was able to go slow and stop myself at the stop lights, ect. I called the hubs and told him what was up - the first thing he asked me was "What did you hit?" Luckily, it never got to that point. It could not have happened a better way. I wasn't out in traffic with my kids in the car or anything. I was just slowly pulling out of a quiet parking lot. After knowing I was fine and I wasn't in some sort of accident, Adam told me to meet him to switch cars. He'd get mine taken care of. $500 later, the car is fixed. My 2 front brake lines basically burst and they needed to replace a tie rod. Apparently it was pretty bad and my situation could have been a lot worse. I'm thanking God that it wasn't. It's at this time that I think of all the things that could have happened and feel so blessed that they didn't. Yeah, it was $500, but at least we're all safe.
Because of the car issues, the hubs took the night off of work. I was excited to have him home to watch The Bachelor finale with me. I'm not going to lie, we were a little edgy - neither of us are feeling the greatest, spring fever is catching up to us and well, you know how it goes. I started folding some laundry, he took the kids and the dog for a walk and then we started watching The Bachelor. The girls were playing nicely until right when Chantel was standing in front of Brad and he was telling her he loved Emily more. It's like the pivotal moment in the show. Alexa picked Lillian up on her back to give her a piggy bag ride and dropped her causing Lillian to fall up against the coffee table. I swear all hell broke loose in our house. Lillian was screaming in pain, Adam was screaming at Alexa, I was screaming at Adam and Alexa was bawling because she hurt Lilli AND was getting yelled at. All the while, I'm still keeping the corner of my eye on the show. Adam thought Lillian hit her head so I'm trying to rub her head when she's screaming through her tears that its really her foot that hurts. I grabbed and ice pack and apply it to her swollen ankle. Alexa came out of her room to apologize. Adam asked if her foot was broken. AND ALL I CARED ABOUT AT THAT MOMENT WAS WATCHING BRAD PROPOSE TO EMILY!! Does that make me a horrible Mother? Lillian stopped crying, I made her get up and walk around the room, we kept ice on it - all was well. But, Brad chose EMILY...the spoilers were wrong. Even though they seem to have some issues to work through, I hope everything turns out great for them and they find their happily ever after with each other.
Adam went to bed, I got the girls down to sleep and I was wide awake from all the chaos. My throat is hurting worse again this morning and I'm feeling the achiness from not getting a good nights sleep - again!
This is a horrible post - please come back tomorrow - I promise to be in a better mood.
