Really?

So today was the kind of day that you would wonder what could happen next! The day started crazy as usual getting kids out the door for school. Once my oldest two were gone, Brittany got ready and I took her to kindergarten. I just have Kate with me after that. We came home. I parked in the driveway and unbuckled Kate in her car seat . She wanted to get out by herself. So I left her with the van door open and walked in the house leaving the front door open. I walked to the kitchen table and set my purse down and picked up something else. I then realized Kate hadn't come in yet. Mind you this was a matter of 1 minute. I walk out side and my van is gone! After pulling myself out of shock. I see Kate in the middle of the road in the van. She had put it in neutral and it had rolled a little ways down the road. Fortunately it had come to a stop hitting NOTHING! I ran quickly to her and asked if she was o.k. She then replied, "Mommy, I drive it" with a smile of her face! Being the good mommy that I am I tell her never to do it again and then I got my camera and took a picture! That was the beginning.

I then get a phone call from my mom telling me Rick had an accident. Side note: Rick is working in SLC during the week living with my parents. So I'm thinking horrible things in a split second. She proceeds to tell me he burned his eyes and parts of his face from boiling an egg in the microwave. He opened the door and 3 seconds later it exploded. It was on the ceiling and floor and unfortunately on his face. He can see and will be o.k. Rick told me he has done it in our microwave just fine on a low setting. I say kids and adults don't try this at home!

During the phone call I happen to be watching my neighbors kids. They are not getting along. They start fighting over a balloon and the one girl cuts her finger on the string. She is bleeding and screaming for her mom. It took a long time to calm her down. So their mom comes and we start talking inching our way out of the doorway. The kids, including mine run across the street to the park while we are talking. My Friend and I decide to go get the kids. When I get back I realize I left the door still open. There is two pigeons flying in my house banging there heads on my window and pooping on my carpet!! At this point I'm thinking Really? So I chase them out and clean up.

The positives are: it is afternoon and my kids are still alive. Kate didn't wreck into my neighbors house, car, or anything else. Rick is not blind. My neighbors kids are alive. I didn't have to kill pigeons in front of my kids. I didn't say any bad words.
