Toyota

What a strange summer it has been!
1. The weather is crummy. I am actually wearing jeans and long sleeves today.
2. We went to eastern WA and it was only nice one day. But we weren't at home.  We were with friends. More friends this year than we have had at camp before.
3. We got to see the Sounders get trounced by Manchester United. Keegan was in true heaven. He got to see his favorite player in person. He got to watch Wayne Rooney score a hat trick live and in person. I got to watch my son grin for an hour without stopping. Grinning like a kid in a candy store.
4. Then the car debacle. We call it a car incident instead of a car accident. We weren't hit by anyone.  I didn't run into anything. It just happened. The side curtain airbags exploded. For no reason. Except that I think Toyota knew that they could possible explode. There is a glitch in the computer system. They have a recall. They just hadn't gotten to us yet. Hmmm. It's been a scary adventure. I am not sure that I want my car back. Even fixed. I can't imagine getting back into it. I am having enough trouble getting into the rental cars. I am driving like a little old lady. Cautious everywhere I go. Even though I didn't hit anything. Nothing hit me. Just a loud, scary (painful, for me) boom and eruption.
5. Between the game and the car exploding Jeff lost his cell phone. Just keeps getting better doesn't it? Then when he called our carrier they didn't have him listed as the primary! He has been the primary for nearly 10 years. I had to have his permission to make any changes or get my own phone!

Next Monday is a new month. It is the last full month of the summer and the month with 2 of my boys' birthdays. It is a chance to start over. It is a chance for a better month. My fingers are crossed. My hopes are high....now to just get through the last 5 days of this nutso, crazy, scary month.
