Diaries of a "Single Parent" - The Joys of Actually Having a Car at Home

As I mentioned yesterday, I was involved in a hit-and-run yesterday morning. I was driving home on the freeway after taking Sean to work. As traffic switched from five lanes to three everyone slowed down. The guy behind me didn't slow down fast enough and hit me. We were in the right lane so I immediately pulled off to the side of the road and the other driver just kept going!!! I was soooo mad. I merged back into traffic and tried to catch up to him but couldn't. Luckily I saw his license plate. I went to the police station and filed a report for a hit-and-run. So hopefully the police will find that jerk and make him pay. I know I sound like a crazy angry woman but that is just so rude! And I'm frustrated especially after Sean's hit-and-run earlier this year. What is wrong with people. We are fine. We didn't get hurt. Lexi did notice the hit and seemed a little confused and scared but quickly said, "I'm okay." There is a little paint scratch but I don't think there is really any other damage.

I was so excited to have the van today. I took the girls to Explora. It's a kids' science center. It was so much fun. There is a lot of things geared up for toddlers.

When you first walk in there is a giant ball run. Lexi and Avery watched it for 10 mintues!

Playing with marbles. A first for Lexi.


Avery did so good sitting up in the stroller. She liked watching all the other kids and Lexi play.

There was a room just for toddlers. It was amazing! Lexi loved playing with the clear tubes on wall. They were another big ball run.

There were just so many fun things for kids to play with. Lexi liked playing with these light switches.

Tons of puzzles, books and games in the toddler room. There was also a rocking chair which was great because I got to feed Avery while Lexi played.

There was an art room.

Avery was such an angel!

And Lexi's absolute favorite thing of the day - the bubble table!

I think eventually I'll look at getting a membership to Explora. If anyone ever comes and visits us here we'll have to take them to Explora.

Sean gets home tonight!!! I'm so glad it was only an overnight audit. I don't do good at home by myself.
