"Sometimes you're the windshield. Sometimes you're the bug."

This afternoon I had a headache. So we went to the grocery store to get some Motrin after picking up the Hubs' new video game.

When I got there I couldn't remember if I am suppose to take Motrin or Tylenol while nursing.

So I opted to buy a king size Hershey Almond candy bar instead. I don't know why I chose the king size instead of the regular. Call it a premonition.

When I got home, I had eaten half the candy bar and was seriously reprimanding myself for my unhealthy snack choice.

Then I went inside and took Newbie out of his car seat only to find that he was sitting in a puddle of devastation created by an epic blowout.

Then I changed Newbie and set him down with the Hubs. I proceeded to disassemble the car seat only to find that the devastation had oozed it's way through all layers of the car seat-Styrofoam and all- and onto my couch.

That's when I cried and ate the remainder of my candy bar and asked God why my mom can't just come live with us.

Because sometimes a girl just needs her mom. And 54 ounces of chocolate.

The end.

*Updated to add...Good news. The doc called and said the Hubs has no broken bones-only bruised nerves (only?!? ouch!)and should just take it easy and keep popping the meds until he feels better. And that's when I raised both hands in the air and shouted a mighty "PRAISE THE LORD!" because this chica could not have handled a husband in a body cast and a baby boy who doesn't want to take anymore naps and a dog who seriously needs a pedicure. And a couch soaked in "Totally Toddler" cleaning spray.

It is well with my soul.
