Today was my first day back as a stay at home mom! We started with a trip to the Dr. for updated vaccinations. Obviously, not the most exciting start for the kids. But its important, so we do it. As a reward for enduring the "shots" we went to Chick-fil-A for lunch and the playground. Twas a glorious plan!
The kids and I just sat down at our table when a very kind police officer came over to ask if the silver car in the parking lot was mine.
That is never a good sign!!!
Someone had hit my car! Add to that the smaller offenses at my table: Mary Hannah's chicken fell on the floor. She was crying loudly because Avery got to eat the cherry on the top of the milkshake. Avery exclaims "Great! Now our day is ruined!"
Pop! Psssssssssssssssssssstttttttttttttttt... that's the sound of the air rushing out of my balloon. It was hardly lunchtime on my first day back with the kids when BANG, we have to deal with this. Ugh! 30 minutes and one police report later I was still determined to have a great time (and to immediately contact the auto body shop!). I recognized this as a teachable moment for Avery. He needed to know that accidents happen and we'd go on. So we got a milkshake and played extra long in the playground.
There is always a bright side to everything. For today, the bright side for me is that Chick-fil-A now offers milkshakes in a smaller size. And I had one!
It started with a BANG!... Literally

Sorry about the car, but Hooray for Chick-Fil-A small size shakes
As I said on facebook, I do recently recall you looking for an excuse for a Chick-fil-A milkshake...well, there you go. There is a brighter side to everything, right? I know you are trying to teach Avery that you will get through and life goes on, but how hysterical was that when he says, "great there goes our day!" Priceless. You have to tell me that you were trying to hold back laughter when he said that. I don't think I could have myself...where do they come up with this stuff? And by the way I think that would have warranted a regular size milkshake! Especially after the report of a week and a half to get it fixed. Aren't you going on vacation soon?? Never a dull moment my friend! Love ya!
