Little Disasters.

Last week while I was out running Jaden to Chess Club I got in a little accident. I have not been in a car accident for over 10 years and it was a little reminder for me of how easily accidents can happen. I was STOPPED at a red light, drinking a bottled water and talking with Jaden. The light turned green and I was in the motion of letting off the brake and putting my foot on the gas. I wasn't even moving just kinda rolling waiting for the cars to all get going. Well I looked down for a second to put my water back in the cup holder and BAM! The next thing I knew I had hit the lady in front of me. I guess she had slammed on her brake after the man in front of her had slammed on his all during the seconds I was putting my water away. The police came and I did not even get a ticket. I was sure that I would because I was the one behind and should have left more room in between us to allow for such a thing. But since we were on a hill the officer said her car could have rolled back more than normal. Works for me! He didn't even do a police report. The ladies car didn't have a scratch on it, although she thought her bumper didn't seem to be on as tight as normal. I gave her my insurance info just in case her bumper needs tightened? My car however got some really bad scratches and the silver H thing broke off. There are not any dents thank goodness. I was glad it was only a little accident to remind me to leave more space in between myself and other cars and just to be more aware and careful on the road.

(I already know that my car is in bad need of a carwash)

Disaster #2. Macy decided to cut the side of her hair off. Although it might not look like much to some it is HUGE for Macy's hair. She has not yet been blessed with lots and lots of thick hair that could handle a snip or two. (I say not yet because I am still hoping she will get more) So her hair is even thinner now. ugh!

And this one is gross. Lately my washer has been taking hours to wash clothes. Some days it has taken 3 hours for one load. After it is finished it flashes a code. I had looked the code up in the manual and it said it was a drainage problem. Then I got online to see if anyone else had this problem and how they fixed it. It seemed that the common problem was an article of clothing somehow getting into the drain and then stuck in the filter. I told Jason about it and he said he would get to it when he had time to take the washer apart. He has been crazy busy at work. So I have been waiting and waiting. Finally after being SO behind on laundry I decided to do it myself. I found a picture of where the drain and filter are inside my washer and I DID IT! Inside the filter there were 3 socks and a mitten all mildewy and nasty. The washer is now working and back to only taking 35 minutes. I was very proud of myself for figuring out how to take the thing apart, and put it back together.
