The Window PAIN!---Ouch! That's Gonna Hurt!

It was such a beautiful night, the kids were in the backyard playing catch--I'm so glad I had the boys play baseball this summer--they can really pack a punch with the ball. Boy did that ball pack a punch, right through my kitchen window! Austin and I heard a SMASH! we ran in to the kitchen and the ball flew right threw 2 panes of the bay window.when I looked out and saw Taylon with those big brown eyes with just a tad of fear in them, I knew who had done it. He put his hand up to his face and said, "Mom, are you mad?" How do you respond to that? Of course I wasn't mad, I was speechless, there was glass everywhere, all the way into the next room. So, I told him to just put his toys down and go for a walk for a minute while we cleaned up all the glass--and for his protection, I didn't want to say anything inappropriate for little ears.We laugh now, the window is covered in plastic and purple tape--all I had was purple, I didn't want bugs coming in the house, so purple it is. We called the insurance company, and we have a $750 deductible, oh good! I'm so glad everything that happens always hits a dollar amount just under $750. Oh well, at least it was our window this time instead of the neighbors. I would much rather clean up glass than have to apologize to the neighbors about their broken window.So, that was our adventure for the week, and then Friday morning I was riding my bike to work and hit a slick patch, I wear clips on my shoes, so I couldn't get my feet out off the pedal in time, and I ended up on the pavement. It was my first official accident on my new road bike, I love it! But I don't love what it did to my leg and my left cheek--or my pride for that matter. Butt (ha! ha! ha!a) all is well, we are all doing just fine, and we will hopefully have a new window before the rain hits next week.
