Seeing Red
So we had plenty going on today. I was up early and took my mother in love to work. Which it is always nice to chit chat on the drive. And I enjoy doing what I can for my in law's since they do so much for us. Then I was to take my van, Ruby to the shop. I had a grocery list of things that I knew she needed in addition to the regular stuff. I had been given a quote by the dealership for just the replacement of the O2 sensor and I was cringing at the thought of how much all my repairs were going to cost. But I didn't have time to stress over that, I was due for a huge biology lab test. I had been stressing over this test for a few days, studying like mad. This instructor was ver demanding and very picky about details so I had to be in tip-top form. I am not sure if it was the extra studying, or my grasp of the material covered but I sailed through the test with great amazement. On my way home from school I heard that Ruby would be ready after Aaron needs to leave, but before I need to get the kids. Hmmm.... Nikki to the rescue. She and Abby took Annika and myself to pick up Ruby. To my surprise I did not need the brakes I thought I would need, nor the alignment that I was expecting. All of Ruby's ills were fixed and then some and I walked out paying less than the dealerships cost for one of the 4 things that my van got today!! That was amazing! Ruby runs like an champ, or should I say princess now. She is a girl car ya know. Now I just need to give her a bath.
So we come home and the phone is ringing...physical therapy appointments...check...Occupational therapy appointments...check...dentist...check. Boys are bugging me to help with homework...check. They run off into the living room and I hear " Oh my Gosh!!! Annika don't move!!!" I go in and all I see is RED!!! Everywhere!!! When we came after school I put her down and she was holding the clear finger nail polish which I took from her when I picked her up and took into the living room to watch her beloved "Backyardagains" while I did all the phone talking and homework helping. She must have either, A) had the red polish in her other hand and I did not notice, B) She stashed in her pocket, or C) Used her mind powers and materialized my polish from the kitchen into her (RED) hot little hands. I got the "carribean red" off of pretty much everything but there is some in the run and a little on the couch. So I don't know how to get out of fabric. But at least it doesn't look like there was a horrible accident at a nail salon in my living room.
I guess I caught her RED handed.
Oy!
