Monica’s Sunday nightmare

So…yesterday was a bad day!  My first mistake was waiting till this weekend to do back to school shopping.  5 million people crammed into a few tiny aisles, 50 million choices of folders and notebooks and only needing a specific kind…burning up in the store, kids acting up and not finding all that you needed!  Yeah, enough to make a person go insane!

I finally found things we needed for back to school.  I had to go to Aldi after that and do a little grocery shopping….in the middle of Aldi I hear thunder and figure i can hurry and get out…THEN I get a call from my neighbor telling me my patio umbrella was down the street and she tracked it down and brought it back to my house.  The she proceeds to tell me my patio table top shattered all over the place.   So when I got home, I spent the afternoon with a shop vac vacuuming the glass out of the grass.  There is still a ton in there.  I have to look at the bright side though….at lease the umbrella didn’t go through the back door glass or the windshield of my car.

Soooooo, yeah, a pretty challenging Sunday.

How was your Sunday?
