polar bears, fender benders & a men's room fiasco!

What a weekend! It was certainly entertaining and amusing at the same time! Friday night we went out to dinner with our friends Jess and Mark and the kiddos! For the most part, the kids behaved in the restaurant and then we went to see the "polar bears" (i.e. the name for all the Malvern Prep's sport teams because they look like polar bears in their uniforms!) hockey team play. It's sad to admit, but this was my first hockey game ever (and Brady's too!). It was fun, despite the freezing cold temperatures, and they won!!!

Saturday was a low-key day. I got my arm checked for TB...all clear...then I went to try on a bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding. It's kinda weird that my sister is getting married (and so soon...this April!), but all-in-all I'm happy for them and wish them a lifetime of love!

Sunday was interesting, well only for the fact that it was an "odd" day. I didn't want to get out of bed, and so we didn't make it to church. Next week...next week... Brady had a bday party at the Oasis in Glen Mills in the afternoon. It was our first time there and he LOVED it. It wasn't so much fun for me, but I managed to email/txt/play games on my Blackberry to make the time pass. Soon after we got there, I took off to the bathroom (for some reason I can't stop peeing!) and didn't look to see which bathroom I went into. Just so happens that I was fixing my hair in the mirror (before peeing, because it's such a BIG priority!) and suddenly a man and his son entered. What did I do? Well, I just stood there wondering why they were in my bathroom??!!??!! Well, stupid me...I was in the men's room and I had no clue. After some blushing and embarassment, I quickly ducked out and ran to the ladies room.

On the way home, at a red light that had just turned green, we were rear-ended. Poor Brady had no idea what was happening. I wasn't even quite sure what happened, but I was getting that panicky feeling inside and I had to calm myself down before Brady would notice that his mom was a mess! I quickly stepped out from the car...and thank God, but they were a nice older couple that seemed shaken up too. But the greatest blessing through it all was my "beast of a car"!!!

This is the 2nd time I've been rear-ended in the past 2 months (what's up with me?) and so far, nothing but some scratchs on the plastic bumper. The other car wasn't as fortunate (it was a Saturn!) and the whole front end was smashed. Maybe my next car should be this:

WOW! you had a busy fun weekend! Sorry you got rear-ended. I would be a mess if I had the kids in the car too...good for you to stay calm. :) I cant believe your sister is getting married! I just remember her as a little girl. Crazy....

so funny sarah!! i have walked into a few men's rooms myself - it's so embarrassing! glad you're both okay after getting rear-ended. just get both cars - they both would serve their purposes :)

I'm so glad you Brady and the car escaped unscathed from the fender bender. My heart would have been pounding so fast...

I have never walked into a men's room - probably because I am always afraid I'm going to so I check extra carefully. I can't believe you made it all the way through without knowing until right before you left - that is hilarious!
