A case of the "stupids".

It seems as though my stupidity is catching up with me. Every day a new stress pops into my life as a result from my tenacious stupidity. Let's make a list shall we?

1.  I procrastinated ordering a part our van needed because it was expensive. The part was on back order. We finally got it in only to find out that our $1,000 service didn't fix the problem. No. We need to order a $1,500 dollar part now to fix the problem. Our new, expensive part is now on back order.

2. I purchased our airline tickets over a month ago. Then Scott made sure to jump through some hoops so that he could fly on the same flights as us on his way to Florida. He called me as he was making the transaction, "Early morning on the 23rd...right?"  Right, I said. The other morning I got a reminder/itinerary email that enlightened my mind to the fact that I had actually purchased a flight for the 24th...not the 23rd.

3. A few days ago as our van was stuck in snow in the street just in front of our home I turned it off and got outside to dig out the tires. When I got back in the van wouldn't start. I freaked. I cried. 15 minutes later Scott came in saying, "You just forgot to put it in "park".

4. Tonight I ran a few errands. One of them was to drop off a few books from the library. I jump out, shut the door and ran the books into the drop off box. When I walk back to the truck I realize that somehow I had locked the truck. It's still running. My cell phone is inside...of course. The library is closed...of course. So, I walk across the parking lot to a restaurant and borrow some nice mans cell phone. Can I call Scott to come and bring a spare key? No. Our van is in the shop for the millionth time this week (hence the reason I'm driving the truck). So, I call a company and wait 20 minutes for them to come and stick a piece of wire inside of the door to roll down the window and push "unlock". Then I pay the nice man $25.00.  Could have been worse, I suppose.

5. 2 days ago I got an email from my dear friends husband. He's planning a birthday party for his wife on her birthday. The same day I scheduled as our move out date. I'm such a lame friend. I'm SO sorry Cathie! Here friends you decide...birthday party for Cathie, or helping us move out. Who do you like better? Sheesh! I tried to change the time of our move out so that our friends can do both, but I feel so lame.


I told you. It's a bad case of "the stupids". Don't they have a vaccine for this kind of stuff?




**UPDATE**


I can't believe I forgot to add this one to the list! :

6. Yesterday I bought a Chariot stroller. You may remember almost exactly a year ago I was making fun of the fact that people spent so much money on those things. I don't know if I'm just a big ol' sheep or if I've really been bitten by the Alaskan bug, but I really LOVE this stroller! Anyway, as I got home from the store I took the stroller out of the back of the truck and set it right next to our garage. I took the kids in, fed them lunch and put them down for naps. Then I went out to put the stroller in the garage. It had probably been sitting outside for an hour. It's gone. Yes. Gone. I freaked out. I screamed, I cried. I ran up and down our street. There goes $400. bucks down the tube. How could I be so STUPID?!
    Luckily, as I was investigating a kind neighbor had found it sitting in the middle of the street about 8 houses down from me. How it got there, I don't know. He said he had come to knock on my door, but I must've been upstairs with Lydia. Anyway, he had it safe and sound in his garage and had also knocked on doors to find the owner. THANK HEAVENS!!!
