Take the time to laugh! Life can get so stressful at times and you just need to stop and laugh because if you don't your just gonna scream? Well our lives this week have been just this! Let me start at the beginning. Tuesday morning I go to leave to head to the store and have flat tire in the van. Tuesday night we are just laying down to go to sleep I remove my glasses and SNAP they break in half. Wednesday we get up early to head to New Bransfels so I can get an exam and new glasses, but the Doctor that normally is there is off on Wednesday's(it doesnt say that in the phone book or online), so we start calling around the nearest place to get eye exam is San Marcos. So off we go to San Marcos, I get my eye exam and head back to New Bransfels to have them make the glasses I have already picked up. They tell us come back in about 2.5 hrs later. We hang out at different places for about 2 hours, we show up to get them and they still need time to make them. More waiting....we finally get one set of glasses (the most important ones) and wait some more for my sunglasses. 45 mins later they are having a problem getting the lens died to the same color, so "I am sorry but they wont be ready till tomorrow so we will just mail them to you!" So 6 hours later, I have eye exam, new glasses and waiting on the prescription sunglasses. On the way home Dennis gets a call, someones system is down so he drops me off at home goes back out to the car and its DEAD! I mean dead as a doornail! We have only been out of the car for 5 mins! So now we have a van with flat and tire is off the rim, and a second car with dead battery. He grabs the 3rd car to head to work. The kids and I get the flat of the van, try jumping the car (which wont jump). Thank Goodness for great friends! They take me to at least get the tire filled and back on the rim. The boys get spare back on and I whisper to the Van "Baby girl you just gotta hold air till tomorrow morning so I can get you some new tires!" WE check the charging battery on car still dead! Thursday morning, we have made an appointment in Austin to get new tires, however first we come out to a flat tire, we get it filled up and PRAY that it will make it and we do! Yeah......So we get home with new tires, and a new battery for car. Dennis quickly changes out battery!So now all cars are running.
This is also the weekend that the Scouts are heading out to scout camp, so we start getting paperwork together and pick up the brief case and it breaks into pieces.....Thats when I start laughing! Laughing restores the broken spirit! Laughing restores sanity when sanity fails! Laughing makes everyone else wonder what your up to! So take the time to LAUGH!!!!
