It's always something

So, I guess things were too quiet around here -- if you don't count the whole tattoo vs. kitten scene. Anyway, this morning we were all getting ready for church (except for Daughter #1, a.k.a the Heathen, who was still in bed). Son #1 had to leave early because he was working tech at the service. I gracefully volunteered to move a car out of the driveway so that he could drive his car, which was blocked.
Picture this: me, backing the car out of the drive way and then waiting for Son #1 to back his car out so that I can pull back in. Here he comes --- backing out his car. I'm watching. He's backing. And backing. And backing ...... right into Daughter #2's car, which was parked on the street. It was like slow motion, only he was backing out too fast. I think I may have uttered an un-church-like word as I watched all of this unfold before my eyes and couldn't believe what was happening.
So there you go --- always something.
Oh, and then there's this: I came home from the shows tonight (both went well today and yay for being done) and brought in my bag of stuff and a framed 8x10 picture of me. It was a head shot that had been hanging on the wall, along with the rest of the casts' framed pictures. Daughter #1 saw it sitting on the counter.
Daughter #1: "What are you going to do with that?"
Me: "I don't know --- probably just throw it away."
Daughter #1: -slight pause, then -- "You should keep the frame."
Me: "Thanks ..... a lot."
Kids --- aren't they great for the ego?!

Ok, I am all caught up!!! YAY!!!!! I am so sorry I didn't get to tell you to break a leg on your program but like I said before I am sure it was wonderful!! The cat by the way is way too cute. You know our troubles with cats and I found a black metal one with a bobble head at Joan Fabrics and it was half off so I bought it. I put it by the fireplace and My lovely husband came home and saw it and asked it I left the tag on it so if it peed or pooped on the carpet I could take it back? What a card! Gotta love um! Love you!
