So remember when...

So I had the worst day of work on Friday, but now that I look back on it, it was pretty funny. It started bright and early when I had to take Sam and Maxx to their sports camps at the University. It was their last day, and I was so impressed that I never got a parking ticket, so I was going about how I normally would, drop Sam off first and let him run in then drop Maxx off at the soccer fields. I pulled up to the curb, with a car parked in front of me, to drop Sam off and all was good. I start driving away and Eli, for some reason, thinks it would be a good idea to open the door and try to get out. I didn't really see this happening until Maxx started screaming, "Eli opened the door!" I turn around just as Eli is closing the door but it was too late. The car that was parked in front of me had been hit. I wasn't sure how to handle the situation, so I cried. I got out of my car and talked to the owner of the damaged vehicle, who happened to be my Biology 30 teacher, and she took all my information and said, "Well I'll call you after I get this assessed."

Eff. My. Life.

As we drive away towards Maxx's camp, Eli is saying that he is sorry. I continue to cry. It was bad. But then something sweet happens. I'm walking Maxx up to the field where his soccer camp is and he looks up at me and says, "Kelsey, you know, we have like 5 bucks to help fix that lady's car that you can have.", I had to smile. That brightened my mood a lot. Maxx can sure be a hell raiser sometimes but we shared a special moment for that little minute. I get back in the car and Eli is still saying how sorry he is. This boy is just too cute, but I was still very upset with his decision to open the door at the wrong time. We get back home and I tell his parents what happened. They told me that they would cover the damage because it was not my fault. Once again, I burst into tears. I honestly have the best bosses in the world. They are too kind to me. I just love them!

So the day goes on and it is now almost noon. Time to go pick up Maxx, no worries people I moved the car seat into the middle so he can no longer grab the door handles and push. We pick up Maxx and have a wonderful lunch and start to play outside. Well this is where the afternoon gets interesting, not that I couldn't handle any more excitement. Maxx and Sam share a little kid dirt bike, so Maxx had asked me if it was okay for him to just cruise around the front lawn. I didn't have a problem with it so I said, "Sure!". So Maxx is rippin' around in the front yard while Eli and I are playing on a blanket under this HUGE tree. All of a sudden, Maxx is yelling and I look to my right and here he comes with his little dirt bike straight for me. I throw Eli out of the way and Maxx runs over my shoulder and my hair. It hurt, but surprisingly enough I didn't cry! Maxx was very upset that he might've hurt me but I assured him that I was fine. He still felt bad about it, and decided to stop riding for a while.

All in all, it wasn't that bad of a day.

I look back and just laugh.
