Guess I should have watched what I blogged about yesterday. Payback time came in the form of a rough stormy night, followed by a rough morning. For about 4 hours we had 70 mph winds, rain, and lots of lightning (over 100 strikes a minute according to the news). We missed out on the 1" hail. I'm pretty sure I heard a tree go down but it isn't near the edge where I can see it. However, the 2" of rain was needed and it wasn't raining when the kids left for school, so I was glad about that.
Then Mike left to go to work. I accidentally left the headlights on the VW so it was dead this morning. Ugh - old cars!! I totally forgot they didn't turn themselves off. I don't know why I forgot - there are only 2 cars and NO children that can manage this amazing feat. Guess I was distracted. So being thankful for an extra vehicle, Mike headed for the Swag Van. I opened my mom's window to let Ellie have some fresh COOL air (yay!) and I heard the unmistakable sound of ANOTHER dead battery. Really? Really??!!?
I don't know if somebody left a door open on it again, or if the last time that happened ruined the battery. All I can say is I really hope we don't have to go buy two car batteries. August is a financial kick in the teeth. I think I wrote at least a dozen checks all to the high school.
Just as I was checking the weather to see if the drive-in movies would be rained out tonight, Mike came back home. He's under the weather and it's anyone's guess what will happen tonight now.
Can I have another Friday Do-Over please? It's my last one before I go back to work.
