the saga continues...

Are you kidding me? Is this blue Honda on my blog AGAIN??? yes.

Today Megan came home with a very, very flat tire. I wish I had taken the first picture then. As you know, today was quite a hectic day in Jon's world, but I decided to call to get his advice on the matter. SHOCK! He was in a meeting. I thought about it for awhile, and decided that Megan and I could change the tire and I could have it fixed before Jon ever came home from work. My little bit to help out, even though this didn't fall under my "usual tasks" list. We each have "usual tasks" that were established long ago. At that time I realized if I did something once or twice (put salt in the water softener, change the air filters, take the garbage out) it could quickly become my job. Jon also got stuck with some jobs (doing ALL the yard work, cleaning out the garage...I'm sure he has a longer list) he wishes we would share. I digress.

Anyway, I get Megan to come out and help me, and she has a total lack of faith. "Mom, do you have any idea what you are doing? Put the parking brake on, what is that? How are you going to change the tire, we don't have an extra one?" Hello!!! Have I taught her NOTHING? After loosening the bolts she had to get ready for dance, so I proceeded to get the jack going and who should drive up, but my dear neighbor Keri. She could have quickly closed her garage and pretend she didn't see me, but over she came, to add her cute giggle and lighten my mood, as she could see the humor in yet another Megan car issue. Thanks, Keri!

It actually went very smoothly. Thank goodness Keri was there to help me get the tire off, but other than that NO PROBLEM. Dad, this one was for you...I can still change a flat tire. Now, I know, Jon will quit worrying about me when I am traveling with out him:), and most of all, I hope Megan learned something today. I hope, I hope, I hope. I. hope.
