I AM WOMAN, Hear me ROAR!!!!

Ok so I’m a little proud of myself right now.

Yesterday morning after church my dad told me that my tail lights and the left blinker on my van were out. (He has such faith that I was actually using my blinker, that it MUST be out if it was not on when I was turning!) We got back to his house and he popped off the light and switched the light bulbs, and nothing happened. He was thinking it was a wire.

I said to my dad “oh is that why the blinker is blinking faster than normal?” He said “yes” and told me to read the manual then I would know that is a signal that something is wrong. I told him I have that guy gene and I don’t read manuals or directions (not driving direction, I follow them and stop when needed!)

When Ed looked at it yesterday afternoon the right light was lighting, but he looked at the bulbs and they didn’t seem to be burnt out. I decided to start with the bulb and go from there.

This morning I rode with the kids to school on the bikes then came home, took apart the tail light and pulled out the bulbs. I drove to wall-mart and found the bulb and came home and installed it. No one else is home and I can’t MacGyver the brake light to see if it’s on (I did try moving the seat up to wedge my umbrella on the brake pedal so I could see if it was on but it didn’t work) but the blinker is working!

My next project for this morning my window frames. I also purchased wood filler, while at Wall-Mart and I’m going to fix my window frames now (thanks dad for that suggestion). Now if I could just figure out how to open the Spackle bucket I’d be good to go!

Go Phillies!!!

We don’t usually follow baseball, we watch football and get all into that. But now with the Phillies where they are in the World Series (YEA!!!!) the kids are hearing about it at school and I’ve been watching the games.

My children are cheering for the Phillies the best way they know how:

Fly, Eagles, Fly
On the road to victory!

Fly, Eagles, Fly
Score a touchdown 1, 2, 3!

Hit’em low
Hit’em high
Let’s watch our eagles fly

Fly, Eagles, Fly
On the road to victory!

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!!!!!!!!!

The past few mornings when they get up and I tell them the Phillies have won another game they break out into the Eagles song, its sooooo funny.

I wish it could have been a clean sweep here at our house. Eagles then Steelers then the Phillies, it was a sports day around here for sure. Sad day for Ed and the Steelers but we are thrilled about the Eagles and the Phillies!!!!

I have to get back to work now, once Ed gets home and I actually get to look at the break light in use: I’ll let you know if I really fixed it.

Stub Hub has tickets to tonight’s Phillies game. $750.00 to $7500.00, I think I’ll watch from the comfort and warmth of my couch! When I tell Natalie she will say “wow that’s more than the Hannah Montana tickets!”
