Stranded
I awoke yesterday morning to a very flat tire. This resulted in an irritated husband who had to change said tire. All of that has resulted in a stranded Amber who has no car because her husband refuses to put that little tire on it for fear she’ll drive the car. He’s right, I would drive the car. Isn’t that what that baby tire is for? I decided that putting the baby tire on was not worth the marital tension it would create, so I’m staying home and hoping said husband brings me a shiney, new tire tonight.

I really should be doing the countless tasks assigned to me by my volunteer group, but instead I’m updating my blog. This is a very rare moment, both my children are sleeping. AT THE SAME TIME. I should knit. Or something.

I did a marathon shopping trip the other day and came home with much goodness that included this knitting book (courtesy of Steve for Mother’s Day), boxes, clothes for tots, beach bag and umbrella and some necessities that aren’t fun. I will be staining and putting together a mini train toy box for Callum’s room this week, and when that is done, and some hooks are hung I’ll take pictures. Then maybe I’ll download said pictures. Then maybe I’ll upload them. Then maybe I’ll post them and you too, can see the room. It’s ok. Not fabulous, but Callum likes it.

We bought a boat. I bet now everyone will comment and want to be my friend.

My water tank is very quickly depleting itself of water. I’m beginning to dream of slinking out into the night and tapping into my neighbours well. I prefer to dream about sunshine and lollipops.

Yeah I boat! And with time to spare too! How exciting! Ben and I are counting down the days. Tell Clare we don’t want her crying the whole time we are there…..teehee!!
Wow, a boat!!! It looks amazing. I hope you get your new tire and that you can get out this week. Cherish the moments when everyone is sleeping as yes those are rare moments.
Nice boat! I’m glad the flat tire got you updating your blog, at least , and the two sleeping angels.
Holy Cow I can’t believe what a jerk I am. I just realized I spelled Claire’s name wrong. Have I been going that all along? Sorry! PLease forgive me:>
5.7 V8?
Taking a mortgage out for the gas are we?
cool boat, can’t wait to check it out* in August. Too bad I get motion sickness.
*check it out means I stand on land and look at it.
Boat – cool! Can’t wait to see what adventures you guys get up to on it!
I’ll be your friend! Can I come visit your boat? err, I mean you?
LOL Yay boat!
