Taking the Scenic Route

Short work day & creative tantrums

Zach woke up today at 10 am (instead of 6am).  At first he thought he had set the alarm incorrectly, then realized he set it just fine, it just didn’t go off.  After thinking about it, we realized that clock was bought at Service Merchandise when we were shopping around trying to decide on wedding china/crystal patterns.  lol.  That thing is older than our marriage.  So, the morning started off kilter.  Then, he got in to the Olds to go to work, and blew a tire in an area he had to drive totally off the road, leaving only the tire that was blown on the pavement.    Traffic was whizzing by 2 feet away, but luckily, a policeman and his trainee stopped so he could change it without getting killed.  He came back home since it is an itty bitty spare tire.  More emails to his bosses.  He realized that if he left just then, he would have arrived just as his class (he is in a training class) would break for lunch, so he waited and arrived back for the afternoon session.  Then, they ended up quitting early since the teacher had to do stuff.  Very short work day. lol.

(no, he wasn’t in trouble…the people were just worried that something had happened since he is usually there early)

Now, on a funnier note, Zane has to have thrown the cutest tantrum today.  We worked really hard not to laugh.  Tonight he wanted to watch a video.  Shortly after putting it in, I realized Sesame Street was on tv, so Zach went in to take out the video and show him there was a “new” episode on.  Well, he turned it on in a segment where there were no Sesame Street characters, just some old footage of people cleaning out gourds or something like that.  Zane got ticked, turned off the tv, stomped past Zach to his light switch, turned out the light, stomped to the bedroom, turned off the light, stomped over the bed, crawled in and pulled the covers over his head.     Zach turned the tv back on and when Zane heard Grover’s voice, he decided to come back. 

We must have just caught the end of the episode because he just came back wanting his video back on, but Zach is distracting him….wouldn’t want him to GO TO BED to punish us.
