Holiday Airhead


I don't know what it is, the busy holiday season or just being a mom. I have some really silly incidents that happened to me this week. First of all, I should have read this instruction on stamping envelopes before I did my Christmas cards. I know I learned how to address an envelope a long time ago, but for some reason I put 150 stamps on the WRONG corner of all 150 envelopes when I was doing my Christmas cards. I spent almost 2 hours carefully peeling those expensive stamps off the WRONG corner and placing them on the correct corner. Joey and I both had a good laugh that night.
Then I got a call from my neighbor telling me that I sent her 2 cards...2 separate envelopes. How did I do that? How many other people are going to get 2 cards from us?
Then Joey came home a little early on Tuesday night to get ready for his trip. We were heading out to get dinner and Stella starts screaming and crying telling us that her ear hurt. Since the doctors office was closed we decided to take her to the urgent care. She doesn't normally scream in pain like that, so I was sure there was something wrong. As I am backing out of the garage in my vini-man (that's what Bennett calls it) I wasn't paying close attention and I side swiped Joey's truck that was parked in the drive way! There was silence in the car (except for Stella who was screaming). We got out and checked the damage, it wasn't too bad and went on to the urgent care. Joey was so nice about the whole thing. If anyone knows the men in his family, you know how much they take pride in caring for their cars. It is serious. He held his tongue the best he could and sent me a really sweet text msg on his way to the airport. By the time we got the the urgent care doctors office, Stella was as happy as can be, of course. The doctor checked her out and there was nothing wrong with her, no infection, no lego stuck in her ear. Anyway, long story...we went to get dinner and came home so Joey could pack. He is in Innsbruck, Austria until Sunday, then he goes to Burlington, VT fo sales meetings. I just hope I can avoid anymore airhead moments while he is gone.


Here is picture of my car...it had a little more damage than Joey's truck

Oh no Annie... I hate times like this when it seems like nothing more could go wrong! I am glad you and joey can laugh about it though... we should get together while he is gone!

Annie, that stinks! I definitely wouldn't call you an airhead, it's more of just a bad day. It was fun chatting on the phone last night. You are awesome!
