Sometimes You’re the Windshield…

…and sometimes you’re the bug.

This past week, I was the bug.

Smushed, flat, guts-a-oozing.

Granted, it could have been worse, and taken alone, any one of the things that happened would have been completely managable.

Put them all together over the course of a few days?

Stick a fork in me…I’m done.

So, I won’t regale you with everything that happened.

Let me just share the few of which I have photo evidence.

By Thursday morning, I was already suffering ticks from the week I had experienced, so I stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts to treat myself to a strawberry coolatta and a reduced fat blueberry muffin.  (Yes, I know…both bad news for diabetics…let’s just be glad I wasn’t buying myself a king sized Hershey bar and a jar or peanut butter.)

I got to work and, well, worked, and after awhile, I had a few minutes to eat my muffin.

I opened it up and found…

…smushed.

I found it to be a perfect visual representation of my week.

When I got home on Thursday, I found this…

Yeah, the garbage men picked up the garbage of EVERYONE ELSE in the neighborhood, except for ours.

The bright spot in the week was taking Monkey Girl to a Girl Scout event called Mad science.  She loved it, and I loved watching her.

She is such a good girl.

On the way home, I missed my exit off of route 80, and we got stuck in bumper-to-bumper, standing still traffic.  We didn’t get home until 9:30.

My wonderful Real Man had a big bowl of popcorn ready for me, so we could snuggle in and watch tv together.

I climbed into bed, reached for the bowl, and…

Amy wept.
