Random Thoughts

There was a little mishap with the garage door!

I didn't do it! Taylor didn't do it!

that leaves only one other driver in our family!

1. We had severe storms in the night with the loudest thunder and lowest lightening we had ever experienced. And we're used to severe weather here in the Midwest! One particularly loud lightening strike literally raised us out of bed! It seemed to have hit right outside our window. I commented that it sounded like it hit a house it was so low! Sure enough, 2 of our neighbor's homes were hit! One had an attic fire as a result. We were without power for about 3 hours this afternoon while repairs were made.
2. While the power was out, The Mister ran home to change into a suit and tie for a meeting he was to attend. He said he was going to take my jeep and left through the garage, only to come back in a minute later. With the power off, the garage door did not raise completely and he crumpled the bottom panel with the luggage rack as he tried to leave. Taylor and I commented that we are SO glad he did the damage and not one of us! He's so much easier on himself, you know. lol. Funny thing, when he got to his meeting he called me to say, "Don't go taking pictures of that garage door and posting them on your blog!" Ha ha! Shh, don't tell! :)
3. The boys, being the electronic junkies that they are, did great with the power outage It was all thanks to their new laptops and the battery usage. After a couple of hours, Spencer asked for the internet and actually looked like he understood when I expained the situation. He even tried a light switch and said "On". When it finally did come on, I said, "Spencer! The power is back on!" And he said, "On! Good!" Yay...loved that little two way conversation!
4. The weather is amazingly hot and humid! 106 with the heat index! I'm so thankful for air conditioning!
5. I must have picked up a spider on my yoga pants the other day when I was outside. A few minutes later as I was in the kitchen, I felt a bite like a bee sting on the inside on my thigh. I brushed off the area, looked around and couldn't find anything. This happened a couple more times! Wouldn't you know that this spider bit me 5 times before I finally took off the pants and shook them out. Don't worry...I made sure the window blind was down first...just in case Mr. Neighbor Man was lurking too close to the window again! ha ha. I had 5 itchy, sore bites in the space of about three inches. And I really looked funny after getting bandaids on all of them to go along with the ones covered with mosquito bites. I think this is the first time ever that I've had more bandaids on me than my boys! Come to think of it, maybe that big web in my yard was to catch me, as revenge from spider relatives. lol!!!
6. And I knew this before, but it has become evident again, that nobody spills food on a dirty kitchen floor. Spills always happen right after you mop! The same thing goes for the rug at the kitchen sink. Dirty? Nothing happens. Fresh and fluffy from the dryer...big spills. lol!

I hope your week is going well!

It's only Tuesday! hahaha!
