But Flat Tires Are SO Much Fun!

My school is a short 20 minute commute from my house. It's in a separate town, which may sond strange to some. I bet some of you reading are even thinking 'Are there really separate towns only 20 minutes away? Hell, even McDonald's is more than 20 minutes away from me!' But, you have to remember that I live in a town of only about 30,000 with several rural towns surrounding it. My school is in one of those rural towns.

So, now that we have the layout kind of established - as I was driving home from school yesterday, I'm flipping through the stations when one of my favorite cheesy 80's songs comes on. So, I crank it and start singing along. All of a sudden, I hear that noise that can make any pregnant woman cringe. "Thump * Thump * Thump" Ugh.

I pulled off to the side of the highway, to find out that my back passenger tire isn't flat - the tred on it is stripping, and causing an awful flapping noise. It also managed to knock loose part of my rear bumper. Fantastic. Well, I'm very much a "Anything you can do I can do better" kind of girl, so I pop the trunk, and sort of self-righteously begin attempting to change the tire... Except the hub cap is on so tight that I can't get it off. Ugh.  

There I was, pulling on this thing trying my damndest to get it off and making little progress when I hear a car door shut. To make a long story short, an older man came up and ended up changing the tire for me. And he did it really fast too! So, I was thankful for that.

Anyway - I realize that this post has quickly gone to nowhere, and while I would love to take the time to go through and edit it, I've got to give my daughter a bath, so I'm gonna go now. 

Better stuff to come tomorrow.
