Tip Tuesday: Lazy Mom idea #1

I haven't blogged in soooo long!  I want to start a running post so I have some goal to work towards!  I thought that I could start a "tip Tuesday" post. Why "Tip Tuesday" you ask?  Well....I have so many tips for being a lazy mom I thought I should share with y'all!  I tell everyone I know that if you want to know the laziest/easiest way to do something to call me because I will know how!  

My first tip is how to change a leaking tire-yes-on a car!  

James' way:  
1-Get out instruction manual and read what to do.
2-Dig and tear apart car trying to find where they hide all of the stupid tools in the thing!
3-Get out weird tools and try to match them up to pictures in book.
4-Lower spare from under car and try to figure out how to unhook it.
5-Unhook it
6-Try to figure how to use the stupid jack.
7-Try to fit the lug wrench into the custom tire spot
8-Try to fit the lug wrench into the custom tire spot
9-Try to fit the dang lug wrench into the dang custom tire lug stupid nut spot!
10-&%!@# lug wrench isn't going to fit!!!!!!
11-Break the custom hub trying to pry it out so the *$@# wrench might fit
12-There is NO way this could possibly work!!!!!  It must need a custom wrench for the custom tire!

Amber watching with astonishment at the determination of James gets tired and hungry!!!!!

Amber's way:
1-Take Christian into the store and buy some tire fix-a-flat slime for 13.99
2-Bring slime out and read instructions on back
3-Apply slime to tire
4-Runs into little snag due to air in tire still
5-Has James jack up car and let all air out of tire
6-Fill tire with slime and air
7-Drive home (without tire going flat AT ALL)


This is a tribute to my sweet hubby who didn't know that you had to have a custom wrench to get off the custom lug nuts!  Otherwise he would have had us on the road in 10 min. or less!  He is always trying to do things the right way and I am always trying to do them the easiest way:  I won this time!!!!!

Today is our anniversary!  He is the most awesome husband!  We have been married 14 years and we are still crazy about each other and from each other.  I wouldn't want to go crazy with anyone else but him!  
I WUV YOU SMOOOOPIE!

That has to be one of the funniest things I've ever read! My favorite part was the "watch James doing that and get tired and hungry." hahaha. SO glad you started blogging again!
