My weekend.......

So Thursday was an adventure to say the least. Work went well and was totally fun looking forward to doing out together that night. I left work after finishing the cleaning and went to my friends house to make jewelry. I helped her take a $6 Walmart watch and bead new bands on it. I made myself two new bracelets. We talked and enjoyed each others company - it was just plain fun. Then I headed home because I needed to get there before the kids got off the bus. I took the most direct route which is of course all dirt. Well at some point I ran over a sharp enough rock or maybe the tires were just that worn but by the time I got home and got the kids off the bus 25 minutes later I had an almost flat tire. Drove home to get a closer look. AARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

So I went in search of my electric air pump (not knowing at this point there was a leak) to get air in the tire and hit the store for some fix-a-flat stuff. It was of course dead - in the on position instead of recharge. >.< So I was left with the DIY bycicle pump. MAN my legs got a work out on that one! I got air in the tire and went back inside - well when I came out after the kids were finally ready to brave driving with me (finally choose their after school snack and picked out a book - LOL) it was almost flat again. So I got them in the car and started pumping again while talking to hubby on the phone and yelling at the kids to NOT bounce in the car while I was putting air in the tire (or after the air was in). I got 20psi in the 35psi tire - not bad considering hubby said I wouldn't get much in. :) Put the air pump in the front seat had hubby call Discount Tire to price tires (I'd looked on Walmart.com but they didn't answer phone when he called) and headed out. Stopped once about 1 minute away from home to check and put more air in. Drove to Walmart (DT was across road) parked and checked it again - it was good so I drove the rest of the way to DT. Got there, parked, went in and told hime tire model - looked out window and it was almost flat again. Talk about timing! I'm sure my little prayers were heard that we'd make it there WITHOUT ruining the rim and enough air in the tire to drive safely on it. :) This is my 4 flat tire in the past 3 years. And I have no spare because it fell out from under my van one day got some rock lodged into it on the dirt road and when I went to use it next was flat. First time was because my alignment was off and wore both front tires out until the both went flat on me one ngiht driving my boss home from work. Next time I backed into a stone porch (yeah I know - in my defense it was a house in the country and at night) and cut off the valve stem - then had to drive home on the tire - on the dirt road. LOL Then this time. So we got the tire replaced was told the smae thing about the alignment and that I'd need the other one replaced too but I could only do the one right now.

Left DT and went to my church for worship team practice and made it there only 6 minutes late!!! Awesome for me - LOL. finished that up found out what I needed to be doing Sunday. I have more responsibility as one of the over 18 members of the team and get to look after the under 18 crowd because they know I can be depended on. Got home, cleaned up fast, changed and ran out the door to meet at my friends house to head out for the night.

We went to a place called O'Callaghan's in Brighton. Nice place - it was live music night. The guy who was singing that night looked like Riff Raff from Rocky Horror Picture Show - Seriously he looked like this --> As long as we didn't look at him while he sung we were ok. LOL We had fun singing along and drinking. One of the ladies bought a round of shots - they tasted like kool-aid - you know its never good when you can't taste the alcohol because its gonna sneak up on you. Well with all my drama I'd never eaten dinner. There was another round of shots bought and I'd been working on my first beer. So I asked for a menu - otherwise I was done. All in all it was a great day/night and we now have things to laugh at that no one will understand.....well more now I should say. :)

Friday was work and then shopping. I picked up some 6 oz. cups of Light & Fit yogurt at Sam's nad the sample lady suggested freezing them for a summer treat. YUMMMM! Saturday was Ladies Luncheon at the church and then shopping. Sunday was church, keep the under 18ers in line, lunch, small group then home.
