Do bad things happen in threes?

Maybe. Since we have lived here, I have been late or nearly late for the first day of school twice. The first time, I was on my way to Walmart in the early morning to buy my daughter an umbrella for the bus stop when a man blew through a stop light that was blinking because of the storm. He hit the passenger side of my van and totaled it. Then last year, my son and I left for school, and we had to return home so that he could attend VomitFest.

I was surprised to make it to school in one piece yesterday, although I did only get there with 10 minutes to spare. I was halfway to the school when I discovered that I had my husband's insulin in my purse. Since he needed it, I had to turn back and take it to him. That was the worst of it though. No vomit. No airbags. And the rest of the day was fantastic!

But you can bet I'll be anxious again next year!

Bonding Time

Pinky and I did a little bonding recently when I found out that she has a tiny fan girl thing for Tom Cruise. She thinks he's pretty good looking for an old guy. She said he doesn't seem to age. She didn't even know I had this poster on my wall when I was a teenager:

Happy National Watermelon Day!

A fun surprise festival at our local farmer's market this morning. FREE watermelon!
