Garage door blues....

I wanted to share this too.. just not in that last post. I learned a valuable lesson..the hard way of course! Always practice backing the car out of the driveway BEFORE you are running late for work. OK, as you will see in the picture below Jamey worked on the garage door opener Saturday and got it working! :)

Should be great news, right? NOOOO not for me at 7:00am this morning. I was already running a little late b/c Addy was having a "miss independent" morning and not wanting to let me dress her... or fix her hair... or brush her teeth.. yes.. fun fun. SO as I'm trying to get the car out of the garage (like Jamey did ALL weekend) I have MAJOR problems!!! Jamey's car was parked where I would normally just back into and pull out without a problem. The garbage can was in the way so I moved it. Well after about 7 mins of pulling forward and backing up I tearfully got out of the car and went inside to find Jamey on his way out. I just looked at him and said "I cant do it" By this time, I had managed to wedge the car in between the retaining wall and Jamey's car... it was horrible. Of course.. as soon as he got in it, he was able to straighten it up and pull it out with NO PROBLEMS... I guess I'll put this one in the books for things he's better at than me... it's a really thin book so far may I add! :)

So, tonight I will practice pulling in and out of the garage to save myself from this humility in the future!

  1. I am laughing out loud at this girly. I love it. It's always Lucy "ms. independent" days that I am already running horrible late. Just look at it this way - you have a new beautiful home which has a new garage with fixable quirks - plus you get to sharpen up your "getting better than the hubby" skills. Have a blessed day!
