    A day in the life…

    June 27, 2008

    I was dreading today. We had a busy day planned, and I was just stressed out thinking about it.

    Scott had a meeting early, and then he was off to Logan for his weekend century. To start off, I first took Emma to her last golf clinic from 9-10am. Then she had the closing luncheon at 12:30pm. My mom made plans for me to meet her and the Gonzalez kids at the Glenwild pool. Then we were supposed to go to a horse show with Vicky.

    My mom decided to take Ian with her to the pool in the morning, and I would go meet them after lunch. She picked up Ian at 10am. I picked up Emma and decided to run a quick errand before her lunch. It didn’t turn out to be so quick!

    My tire pressure sensor has been on for a week or so. I figured I just needed air in one of my tires. I figured wrong ;-) It turns out one of my tires had FIVE leaks in it. Lucky for me, since my car is AWD, I had to replace all 4 tires. But, they were worn down anyway. I guess my car had been out of alignment and I didn’t know it. The inside of my front tires were totally bald. I have the run flat tires in my van, so I was dreading having to replace them. I knew they were going to be outrageously expensive. I was right. About $1000 later, I got 4 new tires, and an alignment. All this on a day when I hardly had time to breathe!

    But, it all turned out OK, and I actually had a nice day.

    I decided yesterday that I just couldn’t pull off the horse show too. I just thought I would be too rushed at the pool. If I didn’t get there until 1:30pm, there wouldn’t be much time to swim and then shower and be in Oakley by 4:30pm. I was sad to miss it, but I felt a lot less stressed when I cancelled.

    Before we left for the pool, the Gonzales’ called and said they were not going to make it to the pool. Livette had the stomach flu, and one of the kids wasn’t feeling well. I was disappointed that they weren’t coming, but that helped me feel more relaxed too.

    The kids had a great time at the pool. All 3 of them loved the pool. Nora did so much better in the pool today. She ran around in the kiddie pool, and she only went under about 10 times instead of 100 like usual ;-) They played so hard and they were exhausted when we got home.

    I am just happy that I made it through the day!
