It looks like we will be getting a new van this week, thanks to the woman who ran a stop sign and hit us last Wednesday. The boys and I were heading in to town for our daily trip to pick up Calista from Kindergarten. I was doing the speed limit — 50 MPH — as I approached an intersection. The approaching car had a stop sign, but as I got closer, I kept thinking “she’s not stopping…”

Next, I spent too much time figuring out exactly what to spend my $250 BabyGAP card on only to discover that the damned card can’t be used online!
Then, I got a call from our real estate agent that an offer we made on a new house* wouldn’t even be considered because it was contingent.
Finally, Nate got sick and projectile vomited on me. About 5 times. Read the rest of this entry »
