Fixed a broken thing
Sep. 23rd, 2021 11:01 pmI live in a double-wide mobile home and there are large boards that hide the seam where the two halves of the house meet. I came home today to find one half completely fell down because the house settled and the staples they used to mount it worked their way out. Fixing it became priority this evening because all of the cool air was escaping the house causing my AC to run constantly, not to mention allowing critters to come in...
After everyone had dinner and baths, kids and I went to Walmart at 8pm because I did not have the right hardware to mount it back to the ceiling. Our broom had also broke and it needed to be replaced. I told both my kids what we needed at the store and asked them to help me remember. Just going into that store will cause me to forget why I even came in there because sensory reasons. I did not write a list in the chaos.
We walk into the store and Oldest starts chanting "Broom, broom! Broom, BROOM!" and her brother joins her. People are giving us looks. I'm laughing hysterically, kids start laughing, and then go back to repeating BROOM over and over until we obtain a broom.
Then it was "Glue and nails! Glue and nails!" all the way to the hardware aisle. I got everything I needed and I almost had a good time too!
And the board is fixed and not going anywhere.
