Current mood:

crappy

Monday is going so well. I wasn't up late or anything, but it was crowded at school and I couldn't park where I usually do. Because of this, I had to go into the school car park and turn round after dropping the kids off. Out of nowhere, I was suddenly dragging the gate that was closed along with my car which had got caught on my wing mirror?! I do not know how that happened. I was not going fast. I was not close to them. Or so I thought. I must've been, because the one which was closed was forced open by my poor little car. You know when something seems to be happening in slow motion? Well for what seemed like hours, all I could hear was the sound of metal scraping. It was either my car's side or the metal bolt which held the gate in place, ie bolted into the ground to keep it closed, scraping across the tarmac. And everyone's eyes on me. Thank god the kids weren't with me, or they would be spouting it to everyman and his dog. I parked and got out to survey the damage. I have a dent and scrape on my passenger door. The bolt on the gate was bent. Now was that already done, or was it me? I felt it didn't do it that hard. And now I have to go into school to own up incase it was me. How much does repairing a [big] metal gate cost? Oh big bums.

Then I had a good cry about it on the way to work, along with the fact that my grandma is having the cancer cut out of her bowel today. Except I don't now what time because my dad didn't find out. So i am worrying all day. And this morning the children received a card from her thanking them for the cards they made and sent her last weekend. It said how lovely they were, how much she appreciated it and how much she loved them. And the last sentence was about her going into hospital but she knew the doctors would make her better. And it was really spooky that it arrived today. And I feel horrible.

Roll on the rest of the week.
