Bright Ideas
Well, I've officially had my bright idea for the day already. Sometimes it is good to get those out of the way early. We started the day off with our car not starting, always nice. My automatic remote start thingy didn't want to start the car. As it turns out neither did my key! Okay, so not really a big deal, we knew that we were getting close to needing a new battery. I call my husband and ask for advice, seeing as how I still need to get Apryl to school. (Lexy is home sick with a cold) He thinks that I can just go ahead and take the battery from our other vehicle and switch them out! I actually think about this, and then decide to give it a shot. NOT happening!! I can't do most of what needs to be done to get this battery out. The bolt holding the battery in place just won't budge. I know my husband is thinking I am just being a girl, but I have the blisters to prove that I tried all I could to get that bolt to turn!
All the while Matt is trying to talk me through this over the phone and it is also pretty cold outside. So, in the end he sends my Brother over and eventually Ty does end up getting the batteries moved and my car is running again! Now I can get on with my regular scheduled events. Bath time is the first thing I tackle. The little people love bath time. I let each of the pick out a few toys to take with them, and I notice Garhett is carrying a miniature watering can. My first instinct is to take it from him and distract him with another toy. For whatever reason I think again, and now I am agreeing with his choice?!? Big mistake, huge! (Pretty Woman) I left them alone for a minute to grab towels and their clothes, and when I came back in the bathroom you would have thought Garhett was bailing water out of a boat with the amount of water that was on the floor. Needless to say, the towels I was holding weren't enough. Here is the kicker, I gave the watering can back to him! I think my brain must have been deprived of oxygen while I was sleeping last night. My second trip back to the bathroom, it was like a flood. My pants were wet above my ankles! Garhett is sitting in the tub saying, "uh-oh". I was thinking, "my ass 'uh-oh'!" So, that was the end of bath time! I think I used 7 or 8 towels just to soak up the water. That is all I need, more laundry!!
