This month is the first time in 10 years that we have not had to pay for childcare. We were excited about all that extra money we would have. I decided to go ahead and spend it today by busting up the fender on my car in a ridiculous stunt that involved a curb and a hole. Since our deductible is a mere $1000, our former childcare fund is now spent. On a sidenote, Megan has been asking for 2 years what is the "king of all bad words". When I introduced my car to the curb/hole this morning, the "king" flew out of my mouth. Megan immediately turns to me and says "Well, I guess I know what the king of all bad words is".
The day did get better. I got a free massage at Style Stop b/c my friend Pam A. nominated me for a "Brighten Your Day" treat. I was treated to my first ever massage, and then they gave me a cream cheese cinnamon roll, rainbow sherbet and a glass of tea. I was in such a trance from that massage, I could barely move. It was amazing. Thank you Pam, you are a good friend and your kindness came on a good day. I topped the day off with dinner in Perryville with Kasey.
So the moral of the story is- Take the good with the bad. And watch out for curbs with holes.
Love,
Michele

Michele,
I appreciate and use the "King" of bad words more than I should. In the right frame of mind I can conjugate it and use it in every form in a sentence-- Adjective, Adverb, Subject, Verb and sometimes even object of the preposition....Carley and I flattened a tire on a rental car in Miami about 11:45pm less then a mile from our hotel.... the median snuck out further in the road than I expected..... so again we feel your pain. No childcare is very freeing. First the formula goes, then the diapers, then the childcare.... then the expensive stuff starts......Glad ur day got better!!!!! I need a massage myself.
Kim and Carley
It's good you could take a bad situation and turn it into an educational experience for Megan. Carly told me yesterday that Jacie had used the "f" word. I was pretty sure she hadn't used "the king" so I asked what word that was. She said, "freak". I was relieved. Jacie said we should call that the "fr" word because I'm pretty sure she's heard "the king"--not from me of course (tee hee hee).
Michele,
My pleasure - I'm glad your day was brightened right when you needed it. I haven't admitted this publicly before, but I am not very good at backing up. I hate putting the car in reverse and backing anywhere - I think it has to do with being short and unable to see out the back windshield like everyone else. Anyway - the night I first met Tim's parents I was backing out of their driveway & it was foggy. I cut the wheel before I should have, hit a fence pole and almost ended up in a ditch. Humiliated, I had to go back up to the door and say um......
See it really does happen to everyone :)
