Ahhh... Winter in Vermont


Here I was, thinking everything was going pretty well for us these days. We're healthy, both physically and fiscally.
Then this morning, I struggle through getting the kids geared up so we could go to KidsPlayce, load them in the car, turn it on, look up... Smashed windshield. (Click on the picture for a better view.) Sometime between yesterday afternoon and 10 o'clock this morning, the snow fell off the roof and shattered the glass. So, I had to get the kids back out of the car, go inside and call the windshield repair place. Back out to the car for the drive downtown with a fractured, sparkly view. Luckily, the deductible is only $50, and they will come to the house to fix it tomorrow. Exactly what we needed right before Christmas, the spendiest time of year. And exactly what we needed to knock me down a peg or two. No more feeling guilty for not being stressed out enough.

I can see this label being applied to most of your posts.

I set it to auto-label.

Something else to brighten my day. I have been driving around with a cracked windshield for months. Need to do something about that, I guess.

Aagh! So sorry about that set back, but glad none of you was standing in that spot when the snow and ice fell. Maybe you can get your landlord to pay the deductible.
