Almost Friday...thank goodness

This past week has been hectic. Work is busy and life has been busy, I’m ready for two days of relaxing and hanging out with Drew.

Last Saturday we barbecued and Mike decided to take the Jeep up to the gas station. Now the Jeep is my main car and he does not drive it much. And since he has a truck, my car is the only one with a car seat, so it’s used as the only vehicle to drive Drew around. Drew’s car seat base is in the backseat and the window next to him has a Winnie the Pooh baby window shade on it (a gift from grandma Joyce- thanks!). I leave the shade down because there’s really no need to put it up and down since Drew is the only one who uses that side of the backseat. Anyway, Mike decided to take the Jeep up to the gas station, it’s only a short distance from our house, however he decided that he wanted to be 17 again, roll down all the windows and blast the radio….fine….but what about the baby shade??? Well with power windows and a driver who was not paying attention, the baby shade got pulled into the window, causing the motor to burn up and the window to be stuck down in the door panel! So almost $300 later, my window is fixed, Drew can ride in the Jeep without the wind in his face and Mike is grounded from driving the Jeep!!!

So with that said, if you have power windows and a baby shade….take warning and remember the shade is there when you try to reenact your teenage years!

I could totally see Mike, ala the movie "Old School," cruising up to the gas station with the windows down, blasting Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again (On My Own)." Ha.
