putting the H in ADHD

Never think to yourself, internet, "Wow... could my week get any crazier?" Because your car will die. Or you will get six speeding tickets. Or maybe both.

But the weather here is GORGEOUS today, and I know it won't last, so I'm going to TRY not to complain (oh, hell, who am I kidding - MY CAR DIED! AND I GOT SIX SPEEDING TICKETS!)... (perhaps I should clarify, I got 2 tickets and my husband got 4 from a new fancy-dancy speed camera along the road we drive up and down all. day. long. There's a 2 week lag between speeding and getting the ticket in the mail, so hopefully we are all done with those. I'm all for reducing speeding, but a little warning would have been nice.)

Today is the first day in weeks that I haven't been running like a bat out of hell. I stopped at the grocery store to pick up frozen waffles (because we go through at least 6 of those daily) and remembered that we have two birthday parties on tap for this weekend. Call me lazy, but Target is on the OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET from the grocery store and I didn't want to drive, find a new parking space and trek in there too.

So guess what they were selling at the grocery store in that crazy seasonal/book/toy aisle between snacks and frozen food? FOOTBALLS! So that's what we are giving as birthday gifts this weekend.

In the meantime, I wait for my mechanic's phone call to tell me how broke I'm going to be this month.

I also have to fit in my Couch to 5K training run today. I did my last one in the neighborhood by my kids school. A few hours later, I got a public safety text message that there was an armed man wielding an ice pick on the jogging path I was on. Great.

Also? An ice pick? Are those really necessary anymore, what with ice machines on refrigerators and all? They didn't say how old the suspect was, but I'm guessing, like 70 because I don't know ANYONE my age who actually owns an ice pick. But then again, maybe I just don't travel in those circles.

As you might have noticed, I installed a new commenting plug-in. It does some really cool stuff that I totally haven't figured out yet, but let me know if you hate it. Or if you can't comment. (I guess you'll have to do that by email... laundryforsix at gmail dot com.)

Also, the winner of my Blogoversary Starbucks Gift Card is SharonHofmann! Sharon, send me an email so I can mail you your spoils!!
