No Good Deed....

Yesterday started out okay, just a few minor catastrophes at work. You know, the usual. Then, after work, Jared and I went to help my sister on a project. Now, I can't say what type of project this is, since it's a surprise for a family member. Anyway, suffice to say that this project is one of those young-women-y types of projects, one that no straight man would volunteer for. But, my great hubby was talked into coming and helping! I'm sure he'd rather have gone home and watched a basketball game, but the lovely person that he is, he came and was a HUGE help!!

Anyway, we ended up being at my sisters house for about four hours (about two hours longer than I expected!). On the way home, we had to stop to get my car since Jared and I car-pooled up to my sisters house. Once we had my car, we took the back roads (they're usually faster). While driving down the darkened back road, I hear this very loud POP then THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP! **Son-ov-a** **D%^& IT** **G-r-e-a-t!** **Roll Eyes** **Pull Over**

Jared, who was in front of me, turns around, parks behind me and gallantly comes to my rescue! He changes the tire in about 7 minutes flat, lets the car down off the jack and proceeds to finish tightening the lugnuts (is that one word?). As he's doing so, his hand slips on the tire iron, which apparently had a small nick in it which was quite sharp. **GASH!** **Blood flowing freely from finger** **Son-ov-a** **D%^& IT** **G-r-e-a-t!**

We get a clean cloth Jared happened to have in his car, wrap up his finger, put my tire back in the trunk and drive home. Upon arrival at home, I note that Jared has been bleeding quite profusely the entire way. So, we clean out the battle wound, glue the finger shut (as it wasn't deep enough for real stitches), neosporen and bandage it.

This ^^ ladies and gentlemen is a perfect example why you should NEVER offer to do anything nice for anyone...

You'll end up bored, bloody and dead tired the next day...

However, I am SO happy that I have a hubby willing to be bored, kept up late and injure himself in order to take care of me and my sister! Thanks Jar, I love ya!
