What a day!?!

The other day I was driving home with my son in the car, and we were chatting away. I drove right through a red light at a major intersection and didn't even realize it!!! My son said "Hey Mom, the light was red back there!" Oops!!!! We were so engrossed in our conversation that I didn't even take note of the light. It's not like I've never been there before either - we pass through this intersection almost daily! This was a first for me, and I was so embarrassed since my son was the one who noticed. God certainly was watching over us - we could have been side swiped!

Ever have one of "those days"? Well today was my turn again. This evening couldn't come quickly enough. I seem to be so klutzy lately. I was making berry smoothies in our blender with frozen fruit, milk and powdered sugar (wonderful smoothies by the way). The berries were stuck to each other and weren't going down to the bottom of the container - even when I used the built in wand...so what did I do? I took the top off to push them down while it was still on when...

Unfortunately I didn't get the top on quick enough when the berries decided to hit the spinning blades and explode like a volcano. WHAT A MESS!!! The entire purple concoction shot up in the air and landed all over my clothes, my hair, the counters, floors, ceiling, appliances, walls etc. etc. It actually was quite funny until I realized that the purple in the berries stain everything!!! The only thing that really got me mad was that I forgot to snap a photo of it to post here on my blog. I was too busy heading to the bathroom to shower the berries off my head (instant conditioner!)

THEN...Later in the evening I went to put Sweet-Pea to bed. She was riding her pony, Butterscotch - the one she got for Christmas. She got off to him to give me a goodnight hug and promptly smashed her head into my lip which embedded itself into my upper two teeth! YEOW!!!!!!!! It bled for a little bit, but I was OK. Sweet-Pea cried for a little while since she felt bad, but I really was fine...it just hurt...still does.

Anyhow...this day was just one I'd rather forget (so why am I even posting about it? 'Cause I'm a true blogger, that's why!) Hopefully tomorrow will be better. I think I'll do my part by staying away from the blender.
