What NOT to do...

It's been raining here for like f-o-r-e-v-e-r and the other day I went to the grocery store and I was so thankful that it had stopped pouring rain and that it had turned into just a nice steady rain by the time I was checking out. I tell ya, it's the small things that make me smile. What a difference it makes to load up your goods in just a steady rain verses the pouring rain. Can anyone relate to that?

Anyway, I rushed home to get the stuff put away before I had to leave again to get all the kiddos picked up.

I pulled into the garage, and hit the button to open the back of the van. I rarely use this nifty gadget, I usually get out of the van first and go around to the back and manually lift the back door. I usually do this just to double check that I have pulled up far enough that the door won't hit the garage door up at the top.

I guess rushing was my first mistake. And I honestly don't know why I pressed the button inside the van...but I did and yep, you guessed it, a BIG ol' crease. YIKES!

It's didn't make a loud noise or a big thump....nothing. I didn't even notice it til the next day when I was putting something else in the back.

It's not horrible, and most people probably wouldn't even know. But I know, and now it's going to drive me nuts...forever!

Can ya see it there? Right above the hitch!?

I was a little worried to tell Andy, not that he would be mad, but you know...I was afraid of getting that well-how-it-the-world-did-you-manage-to-do-that look. But I should have known, my laid back guy gave me the most laid back response, "Bummer!"

So there you have it, just another tip from this gal who doesn't know much about a lot, but I do know this, don't open the back door of your mini-van without first making sure you are all the way in.

(Tim, I can hear your comment now...."that's just another reason why we DON"T have a mini-van!" - Okay, I'll let you win this one!)
