me talking out loud

I hate Monday’s. Just the thought of going back to the office after only 2 short days off always kinda depresses me. This Monday turned out to be worse then usual. Woke up late, rush to get ready for work, and find my front driver’s side tire has gone flat. Husband is gone - no one to change the tire but me (well the kid was also there - and yeah she did help me a bit). Crap.

*sigh* so back in the house I go to change my clothes (happened to be wearing business clothes today rather then my usual shorts) since I’m going to be laying on the wet ground and getting all nasty and dirty. Eventually come back out and start changing the tire. Luckily my father insisted that all of the girls learn how to change a tire before we have to really change a tire. Though I am girly enough to admit I would rather have a guy change the tire for me then do it myself.

As for the whole tire changing experience - All I want to say on that is - WHY do people tighten the lug nuts so much it is almost impossible to loosen them? With copiuous amounts of WD40 and the proper application (and lots of heaving, pushing, pulling, and eventually standing on) of my tire iron to the lug nuts - we were eventually able to change the tire. Even remembered to loosen the lug nuts before raising the car though it took me a good 15 minutes to remember how to get the cap over the lugs off.

Back to the house again to wash up and change into my office clothes again. Thank goodness I didn’t hit any traffic in to work… Don’t know if I would have bothered to go in if something else went wrong.

I hate Monday’s.
