I would call, but this is easier

As a stay at home mom, sometimes I wonder what kinds of things really make my life exciting. I mean, I get excited about my girls and their wonderful accomplishments - like Ryann naming letters, Georgia crawling, and Nora drawing houses - but really, on a daily basis my life is not tremendously exciting. I get up, work out, take a shower, eat breakfast, pick up the kitchen, do some laundry, pick Nora up from summer camp, make lunch, do some laundry, put the girls down for their naps, clean up the house, make dinner, eat dinner, play, put the girls to bed. Thats my basic daily routine - sounds like buckets of fun, doesn't it?

In general I feel like I live a pretty boring life. I am happy - extremely happy - and I wouldn't have things any other way, but really, life around here is routine (my preference) and somewhat mundane. My girls make me happy, but they aren't exciting everyday. Then every once in a while something happens that is so exciting I have to tell the world all about it - I call people and I blog about it to share my excitement with everyone I know.

Today was one of those days.

It stormed here this morning. You know what that means? It means that PG's car needed to be parked in the driveway to rinse some of that egg smell off of it so my garage could smell normal again. So I backed the car out of the garage and as I did so I found the most amazing, incredible thing on the front seat of the car.

I looked down and my heart skipped a beat. It couldn't possibly be... Seriously? I picked it up, turned it over in my hands like a precious gem - careful not to drop it or to lose any time examining it further. I had seen commercials for this, but I had never seen it in person. I always thought I would want one and now I could try it out before purchasing one of my own. My life just got better in those few seconds.

Today is marked as a truly exciting day because I found this. And I'm not sure they are ever getting it back.
