Hamsters and Car Crashes!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mom's out there! I had a wonderful weekend, but there were a few blips...Saturday was a typical mom's day, what with driving one kid to football, picking one up from a friend's, and a trip to the nursery to get some flowers (to pick out my own mother's day present I might add), amongst other things. Now in the middle of all this, I went in my youngest son's room to discover his hamster cage sitting on the middle of his bed, opened, with no hamster in it! There were shavings everywhere and all his fish food had been dumped out as well. At first, I thought the cat had gotten into some mischief, but realistically...if the cat had been the culprit, there would have been hamster carnage all over my house. As it turned out, the neighbour boy had made his self feel right at home. We did a quick sweep of the house and weren't sure what to do next when I heard a scratching noise coming from my bedroom. After turning out several dresser drawers, I found hammie looking at me from under my bedside table. What a happy ending!
The car crash part came the next day. I was feeling especially happy and obviously misjudged my speed and proximity when pulling around a parked car to pull in to my son's friends driveway...I clipped the poor guy's bumper and tore a hole in it! Not to mention, my whole side is scratched up. My husband took it amazingly well and I am very grateful to him for that. This story ended happily as well, seeing as we both have such good records that this will not affect our insurance. Whew!
Well, I guess now I'll see what other mischief I can get in to this week and let you know all about it! :)

Sounds like you had quite an exciting weekend. Glad the accident wasn't serious, but I can imagine (from personal experience) that you felt really stupid.
