Baseball vs. lawnmower = window loses
Seriously! First the stomach flu, then the toe, now the window... did one of you curse me?
This afternoon's original plan: Write up some deals, pick up some kids -- one from school, and one from the sitter where he was safely ensconced while I did my workshop this morning. What actually happened? Let me tell you a story...
So I get home from the workshop, am eating a late lunch, and think: It's cold in here, I'd better go close the window. Start walking across the room -- Oh wait? Why is there broken glass all over my couch and chair?
5 minutes later, the guy who mows our lawn knocks on the door and sheepishly hands me this.
In case you ever wondered what would happen if a riding mower ran over a baseball, this is what happens: The baseball loses. And, it flies up in the air and smashes your window!
So instead of my nice productive afternoon, I've spent the last couple of hours cleaning up broken glass. And "fixing" the window.
So now, please excuse me, because I think I'm going to go make the world's largest brownie with my 14 boxes of Pillsbury mix.
The end. 🙂
Not a good week. Karma for getting such great deals.
What a day/week!! Is it possible that you can just replace the glass instead of the whole window? We had a rock hit our window last year and was able to just get a pane of glass cut to the exact size for about $16.
Great idea! Add some free peanut butter to the mix and open one of those Sweet Moments while you wait for the brownies to cool. Let's hope for NO rain!
Sorry about what has been happening to you this week. I hope your neighbour is at least going to pay for the broken window.
that stinks... give him some brownies too so maybe he will fix the window!
Glad you still have your sense of humor through it all! Hope it all works out smoothly and that this marks the end of the bad stuff!
Brownies fixes everything! Brownies for dinner sounds like a good idea too!
Barter Healthy Choice soup to the window guy, plus wear something skimpy and low-cut. Can't hurt...might help 🙂
They say, problems come in a "set of three". So it looks like you had your set of three. Hopfully they are (problems) going to leave you now.
I thought i was having another Mon. But, you win!
BTW, chocolate solves everything!
Yes, your money has been cursed! Cursed I say! I will take your money and purify it using my psychic powers and then return it completely cleansed of evil. Bring it in a plastic Dominicks grocery bag (I will change the Dominicks into a Jewel bag, that evil is a freebie) to breakfast on Monday. If you do not remove the curse much more evil will come your way - oh, wait, i forgot you're already married with kids. Just forget the whole thing...
My pressure cooker explore today and THANKS TO GOD nobody hurts but need to replace my gas range and fan on the top and need lot of cleaning and painting on the ceiling.....all together probably $500.00 or more out of pocket. But had “sweet momentum” and life goes on.............
Here's an easier solution, throw (no pun intended) all of the Sweet Moments in a pan and you don't even have to bake!
I definitely say barter some soup for the window repair 🙂
So sorry about your bad day. My husband did the same thing only with a rock and the weed wacker. The rock the car window and it broke in a million pieces. That was a very expensive repair. Kept thinking if only we did not switch cars the car would not have been there!!!!
Had something similar just happen but the ball didnt hit a widow. It flung out the back of the mower and hit me right in the stomach. idk how fast it was moving but i thought i had been shot(started looking for who did it). I now have a really nasty saucer sized bruise on my stomach and top of my hip.
