I might be(if I actually believed in curses). Anyway on my way back from picking Isabel up from a sleepover we hear a noise. What else could it be but a flat tire? Why me? It only ever happens when I'm either alone or with children. In the past four years let me tell you how many times I have been stranded by the side of the road with a flat tire. here goes:
1. Pregnant with Phoebe, with the rest of my children in the middle of summer on the highway without a cell phone.
2.The day after Christmas on the way back from the dentist, on the highway.
3.Last year while Trent was in Reno, I ran over nails that had been placed in the middle of the road, and I ended up with 8 nails in my tire.
4.In the middle of winter taking Isabel to school, I slid into a curb while driving on ice, and popped a tire.
5.And then today (I need to learn not to be in my pajamas while driving, and I need to learn how to change a flat tire, you would think I already would have by now. Luckily,Trent is usually only a phone call away to come and rescue me.)
Flat tires seem to follow me around. Luckily, they replaced the tire today for free because the tire had a defect in it(also because they were freaking new tires that I had put on less than a year ago!) It never seems to happen to Trent, and really none of them were because of my fault. Is the streak never going to end? I'm tired of flat tires, can I just tell you? Ok, now I'm done venting...

Oh no how sucky! That is a lot of flat tires!!
Oh Liz, I thought after the snow day you would never leave the house in your pjs again...your memory must be shorter than I tought.. When in doubt call me and I will remind you...You do seem to have more than your share of flat tires...Hope thats it for awhile..Have a good day! Love you!
Hahaha, that's funny. It could be worse. You could be cursed to have totalled your car instead of just a flat tire each of those times :) See! There's the brightside!
You truly seen to be a magnet for flat tires. No good at all! I'm so sorry about the latest incident, at least they replaced it for free! I HATE car issues (we have discussed this at length, I know.) So frustrating.
I think someone is trying to tell you something. Like what - drive a tank, get a job with the State Farm Highway Help guy, ride a bike. Hope it gets better!
Sorry about the car, that is crazy! If it makes you feel better, we just bought brand new tires for the van, must be tire week. Sorry about not going this morning, we have been sick and I had to go back to the hospital for more blood work. We will try for next week.
