I have been singing this John Gorka song in my head all day today... it's pretty much my theme song. It goes, "Sometimes I'm an idiot, many of you know that by now. Sometimes I am not, but this is not as clear somehow. So I go about my work making my mistakes out loud. Maybe everybody's failures are in earshot of the crowd. Yes I am in trouble again and it's gone from bad to worse. Maybe that's just the shape of the world I'm in!" Do you ever have days where you feel like a complete and utter idiot? Well, let me just tell you, yesterday was one of those days. I came home from work and pulled in our garage. I was on the phone with my friend Julie so I guess I may have been a bit distracted. I pushed the close button and suddenly heard this awful CRUNCH! I screamed and looked our garage door seriously looked like an upside down V. Picture it.... /\ and in the middle was my car. I hadn't pulled forward enough and my bumper was too high to set off the sensor so the garage door closed on the bumper. I ran in the house and yelled to Joel that I just broke the garage door. Now, I think you can tell a lot about a person from how they act when an accident happens. Joel was completely calm. He had me pull forward and pretty much got our door working again. I just kept saying, "I am such an idiot. I can't believe I did that!" I kept asking him if he was mad at me and he just said, "It's not that bad!" Then I asked him if he was going to yell at me because I know that if he had been the one to do that I would be livid and not so calm. He just joked around and said, "Yes, I am going to go put on a yellow wife-beater tank top and some hammer pants and give you a beating." What a good boy he is. Luckily my parents are coming to visit next month so we will have my dad take a look at it. After Joel worked on it you really can't tell that anything ever happened but we will have my dad look at it anyway since my dad can pretty much fix anything! What a fiasco! I hate making stupid mistakes!!!!
