No Good, Horrible, VERY Bad Weekend


What is that a picture of you ask? That is a close up of this...our sliding glass door.



It was just one of those weekends, I'm sure you have all had them, or days when you wished the whole weekend/day would just end...that you could just fast forward over that little part of your life until the bad part was over. That was this weekend. When I was little, my mom would read us this story called "Alexander's, No Good, Horrible, Very Bad Day" It's about this boy that just couldn't win, his brother took the toy from the cereal box, the store didn't have the cool shoes that he wanted and so on. Let's just say I wish that was the extent of my No Good, Horrible, Very Bad Weekend, but mine was worse. I won't go into all the details but let's just say the broken door was probably the least worst thing that happened!

The story...Logan and Kody were taking screws out of some electrical stuff for Jared. Logan wasn't giving Kody the screw driver that Kody wanted, I could tell Kody was starting to turn into Frankin-Kody, so I reminded him that he need to chill our or a time out would be in his very near future. That's all it took. He look at Logan...screamed his HIGH pitched squeal (he can out screech any girl) and threw a drill bit at Logan, Logan laughed and ducked out of the way of the drill bit. The bit hit the lower right corner of our sliding glass door and instantly I heard it starting to crack...it just kept spidering until the glass pane was completely covered in tiny little cracks.

Please some one explain this to me...that door has been hit with so many things, baseballs, sticks, baseball bats, and our big chocolate lab constantly jumps up against it, how could one tiny drill bit do SO much damage?

After a VERY long time out, Kody came to apologize to Logan. After saying he was sorry for throwing the drill bit, he looked at Logan and said, "Logan you should be more careful. If you wouldn't make me mad that drill driver (drill bit) would not have had to hit mom's door." Maybe someday that will be funny! :)

I am trying REALLY hard to see any good part of this weekend so here it goes, Our door is doubled paned, only one pane was broken, so we still have glass shielding us from the 108 degree temps. outside (I can't even imagine what our power bill would have been like if we would have had to run the air conditioner with out ANY glass in the door. And Jared has a friend that is part owner of a glass store...he's coming over tonight to give us an estimate...

Oh my goodness!! I can't believe that a little drill bit could do such a thing. THat Kody has an arm on him, you should get him in baseball. It's a good thing it didn't shatter all over everywhere.

Hi Amber - I'm sorry you had a No Good, Horrible, Very Bad Weekend. I'm sad you guys can't make it up this weekend for our camp - but I completely understand. Give the kids lots of kisses and hugs. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the estimate for your door will be low. Love you!!
