In Minnesota, any day above freezing there are lines at every car wash in town, as everyone races to wash all the salt and dirt from their vehicles before it freezes again. It’s like a gas rush, but with the car wash.
I’ve got three sleeping children in my car, listening to Yours by Now Now. I love this song. It just feels so good every time I hear it.
One car moves forward…5 more to go
We just got back from sledding. I decided that letting the kids sleep a bit before waking them up was a smart decision. I’m hoping they’re worn out from fresh air and exercise. We met Lover and his son at the hill, and probably got in an hour and twenty minutes before someone got bitten and I decided we were calling it a day.
Four cars left before it’s my turn. The suspense is killing me.
Here’s some positivity for your viewing pleasure.
1. Slept in til 7am. This is good for a weekend with the kids. J could have been up at 530. I’m totally good with 7.
2. Had coffee with sister #2 before she went to work. That was really nice.
3. Got a lovely breakfast of eggs, sausage and toast.
4. Sledding with Lover and all the kids. It’s pretty warm out for MN in the winter so this was just what I needed.
3 cars to go
5. So many things to choose from. I have all sorts of food in my fridge, with options all over for dinner. Two happy healthy little girls who are sleeping peacefully along with my nephew. A new vacuum cleaner to test drive at home. Today is pretty amazing.
2 cars
Oh the vacuum cleaner. Funny story about that.
So A decided to vacuum the other day. I’m so happy and proud, my kid wants to clean?! This is great! I have her pick up the floor, looks good, she starts vacuuming, I’m damn near in tears I’m so proud of her and then…
The magic smoke comes out and it’s making a noise like a strangled cat.
1 car to go
So I asked Lover to take a look at it, and the motor is literally starting on fire every time I turn it on. Apparently some idiot zip tied pieces of the motor, it got overloaded and started on fire. Who designs something like that? So he pulls off the melted plastic, has me plug it in to see if it’ll work (mind you, it’s all taken apart on the floor) and blue fire is leaping out of it. Yep. Game over. I bought a new one. That’ll teach me to keep the paperwork for the warranty too.
My turn!
