So i think your husband was still upset at what had happened and was in no position to put the window back. Thanks to the good sense of your son, different minds tackled the problem and sorted it out in no time! :-) i'm sure he would have been able to tackle it if he came back a while later cooler and calmer. The brain tends to work on things even when you are not, so i hope the solution would have come to him when he was of a different mind! But you guys sorted it out for him anyway. Love from london.

I rememnbered my grandaughter in the back seat of the car and reminded myself I was to be an example and said to her ''When things go wrong, we can tell ourselves ''oh well !''...I think it was actually a reminder for ME !!!! :D

My husband was helping a friend replace a toilet. My husband maintains 21 group homes for the developmentally disabled and today he was off duty, helping someone. He called me and said, "I've got a problem." The porceline had broken and sliced open his hand. He began to panic and I told him to sit down and talked him through it. I was a 40 minute drive from him. His friend took him to the emergency room. I was rattled, but on the way there, I decided that I was going to maintain my good mood no matter what. I knew being calm and in good spirits would be the best thing. Long story short, I met my hubbie at the hospital and he was stitched up by a great doc. Everyone was very kind. It's the end of the day now, and although he's got discomfort, the one thing we will both remember about today is that we handled everything calmly and with love...like best friends should. It may sound crazy, but that made today a great day.
