This week has not been a good one.
I’m pretty sure when 2012 comes to a close it will definitely be a contender for one of the worst weeks of the year.
Tuesday afternoon, Zman called from school because his hip was really hurting him and he wanted to come home and take some pain killers. He doesn’t take them at school because they have a tendency to knock him out cold.
Since Bean was sleeping and Tatertot was in the middle of eating his lunch, I woke up the Hardworking Hubby and asked if he could run and fetch the boy.
(**Now, a lot of people (points big fat finger and judgmental in-laws) think that it was wrong for me to wake up the HH to go get Zman and asked why I didn’t just take the little kids and go get him. Picking up Zman would have meant I had to wake up Bean from a MUCH NEEDED nap nad load her into her car seat. Get Tatertot out of his costume, interrupt his lunch, get him dressed and load him into his car seat. Load both littles into the car and head up to the school. Unload the littles and lug them into school to sign Zman out and assist him with the zero free hands I have and get him and his wheel chair out to the van, get the littles back into the van and then help Zman into the van and load up his wheelchair and return to the house. Unload both the littles and help Zman into the house. Blah. blah. blah. So yeah. Easier to wake up HH and ask him to go.**)
Hardworking Hubby went to get the boy from school.
15 minutes after he left I got a call from Zman.
They had been in an accident when they were leaving the school.
Thankfully no one was hurt.
Hardworking Hubby hit another van and was cited for inattentive driving.
This is the damage to the van he hit.
All he did to the other van (a 1994 Plymouth Voyager on its last legs according to the owner) was pop the tire and put a huge dent in the rim.
This is my van.
Our van has almost $4000 of damage and is in the shop getting fixed and is expected to be done by the 22nd.
Right now, our family of 6 is using a 2012 Ford Focus. So yeah, we can’t all go somewhere at once. It sucks.
It.Really.Sucks.
We are hoping they can upgrade us to something a little bigger tomorrow but it will just be a full size sedan instead of a compact.
It is the 22nd yet???
I never thought I would miss my minivan so much!!

Have you ever wondered what your internet reputation is like?
Interested in seeing how the internet views you?
Reputation.com offers online reputation management to help you keep tabs on your reputation with their FREE internet monitoring service.
The site will find existing posts about you online, send alerts when new posts appear, finds any exposed personal info in different online databases and identifies and alerts you to damaging posts.
Monitoring your online reputation is completely free for this service. There are also paid plans as well that will help you fix your Google results by replacing inaccurate or misleading search results.
I know that I constantly monitor my internet reputation. I have had a search setup for the last 3 years and get daily updates for anything new that is posted using my name, my blog name, my Twitter; etc. I like to make sure that my personal information is safe at all times in addition to making sure that my site content is safe as well. After the recent plagiarism scandals in the blogosphere I want to make sure my words and photos are all protected.
Reputation.com offers both personal and business services and may very well be my newest online addiction.
So, what do people find when they “Google” you?
Having little ones in the house keeps me on my toes when I am buying household cleaners. I always do my best to ensure that we are not using a bunch of chemicals that will harm the kids and have recently started using some products that are more environmentally friendly as well.
Right now we are looking at having the carpet cleaned in the 2 main rooms of the house and I have been researching different companies and the types of products they use. Then I discovered Green Choice in New Jersey (which of course, doesn’t benefit our family but I wanted to let my friends in Jersey know!). Green Choice offers green carpet cleaning New Jersey.
Now that I have stumbled upon a company that offers carpet cleaning using eco-friendly cleaning solutions, I am on the hunt to find one in our area. Knowing the we will have a crawler on our hands soon I want to make sure that there is nothing that can harm our little lady when she is scooting around the house! If she is anything like Tatertot, she will be ARMY crawling real soon!
For my Jersey friends, enjoy! Their prices are great and they also have coupons available for download on their site to save you a little more cash!
