I got a flat!

Its not the where-you-can-live-in flat but as in a flat tyre. Right in the morning when we were almost all ready to leave the house, hubby told me my car has a flat . And of all the days it had to happen today. When I had made so much effort to get ready earlier than usual as I wanted to reach office early, and I had to get my tank filled up and air checked on the wheels as well, I had to get a flat the very same day!! Darn!!

Anyhow, hubby and myself together worked to change it quickly. and we were done with it in 15 min. And all the time I was thinking of you DotMom! Yes you..coz yesterday I was sympathising with you about you having a flat tyre and today I need those sympathies extended back to me :D

Thankfully its weekend and I don't have to rush to get it the flat one repaired today itself. I can do it tomorrow.

But we did get 5 min late to Betu's school because of all this and the school gates were locked by the time we reached at 8:35 AM. Luckily the guard was around and he opened it up for us along with a strict warning that he won't open it up again if we got late starting from Monday. Yes boss!

~Edited to add: Just spoke with hubby about 30 min ago and what I heard left me dumbstruck for a while. He got a flat tyre too today. He saw it just as he was about to go for a meeting. *rolling my eyes* Some days are just bad....

  4. I like what you are doing with your sons blog. Sending your child to school is traumatic. My own will be off to college in a few months and I simply cant think about it. And my son is 16!!!!
