I'm On a Roll Here

So after my last episode where I locked myself out of the house on Saturday afternoon, the next morning I decided to do an encore....

I was planning to run out on Sunday morning to buy my two Sunday newspapers so I could sit on the couch and let my sore toe heal. I started the car and rolled back a couple of feet. The noise I heard under my car stopped my heart. I put the car in park and jumped out. The car was resting on a bowling ball!!!!When I emptied out the two brown plastic crates yesterday to use them to stand on, I neglected to put the bowling ball in a secure spot (so it wouldn't roll under my car).

Now what? The ball was stuck right where one might place a jack if one had a flat tire. I couldn't just pull it out. I twisted it and it came right out and the car let itself down to the normal position (without a bowling ball).

I drove to the store to buy my newspapers and came home and stayed in the house the rest of the weekend.

Some people just shouldn't be left home alone.

What a silly goose you are!

Well, at least Monday is almost here and you will once again be safe and sound. Well, safe anyhow:)

You make me feel better. At least I'm not the only one who does stuff like this.

Now I need to go back and read up on the sore toe.

At least no harm was done (to the car anyway).

Hang in there.

I just hate it when I make plans and things go awry! Hopefully the rest of the weekend was a little less stressful. At least the cats had fun!
