i tried a thousand ways

to try putting into words a day like today. i'll start with the big crazy stuff. i am starting to believe that i really do live in crazytown. for instance. this morning, i left the door open to the car so penny could do her thing and take her time to come in the house, whatever. then i closed it on the way to owen's holiday program. which was hilarious, by the way. Beachy theme, Little St. Nick by the Beach Boys and featuring the jazz square and a boy girl coreography. very funny.

so i come back from the program an hour later and see something running around inside the car. INSIDE the car. it is a squirrel. a freaking squirrel had been locked in the car for over an hour! So, i go and open the door and the dumb thing just sits there perched on the passenger seat head rest. i open the passenger door and he finally jumps out. i go and inspect the damage, just cringing to think what it might be. didn't ravege the beef jerky or eat the mandarins or any of the crap in the car. nope, he chewed through the speaker on the dashboard and nibbled into the dashboard. that's right, chewed the freaking dashboard. how on earth do I get that fixed.

then i went and got my eyebrows waxed while rachel the babysitter sat with the babies. then penny went to preschool while i blogged in the first quiet/alone hours i've had months.

thre is so much more to this story but i'll have to finish tomorrow. right now it is 3 am and ive been up for 2 hours already. my eyes are hurting and my brain is tired and even though i can't sleep, i have to try. I am sure tomorrow holds more crazy.
