I had to make two trips to the middle school this morning because Meri forgot her loaner clarinet. Did I tell you I broke her other one? Yep. I held it under my arm carrying it into the house one day and when I grabbed the handle, my armpits must have undone the latches and all the various pieces splayed out onto the kitchen floor with several distinct crashes. It'll cost about $250... and take about a month to get it back.
Darn armpits.But anyway, after I dropped off Meri, I also dropped off a new tire to be mounted onto my old tire rim. My son shredded it on the interstate a week and a half ago (they're fine!) and I've been driving on a donut tire VERY carefully ever since. Robb bought 2 newer tires (for cheap!) on Ebay and they look really good! I think the Fed-Ex guy may be sick of delivering tires to our house... but this is a great way to get some good tread on our many cars...
Yesterday over lunch, I worked a bit more on Maddy's Sweetheart dress trim. It's needed in T minus 9.8 days. I lay the dress on my bed and then just lay the trim where it's supposed to go on it and left it. Maddy came home last night and found it laying there and got so excited that it was done. Nope... sorry... It still needs the hems too, but soon sweetie, soon!
I wrote a note on a napkin this morning something I needed to do today... what was it?? Oh yeah!!! Ask for Spring Break off! *check*
So anyway, I'm in my office now and have decided that taking a few minutes to clean off the top of my desk will be a good thing. After taking care of the tire today, I feel like I can do anything.
It's the small things that perk up my day....

That's a bummer about the clarinet...but lucky with the tires on Ebay! :-) Hope today is wonderful from here on out!

Arm pits suck or stink, I forget.
I don't need tires, but I do need to take the van for an inspection then get it re-tagged before the end of the month. What am I waiting for? Beats me...
Oh man! That stinks! Haha.
We borrow a violin and I'm very particular about it. But the case doesn't latch well and and guess who picked it up and it fell on the floor? Me. It didn't hurt it, but boy, oh boy, was I sweating there for a minute. Which brings me to armpits. ;)
Meri's hair is darling in that picture.
I played the clarinet in jr. high. Just thinking of it hitting the floor and all those pieces flying off makes me cringe.
You are right. It is the small things that can make your day.
Bought tires on ebay? WOW can't help but wonder how much the shipping and handling charges were on those puppies!
whahaha...
cracks me up on the topic of armpit!
