Okay here is my drama for today! First, once a year, my DH boss pays for a cleaning service to come in and clean the employees (there are only 5 of them) wives homes. Nice perk. Well this morning I went to back out of my garage, forgetting that the cleaning service was there and I slammed right into her car!
I have been driving my moms car while mine is being repaired. Moms car is okay, however I all but tore the front bumper off of the cleaners car. She is someone we know, who cleans for our friends, and she just laughed it off. I told her to let me know how much the damage was. She said "Do you know how many times this old car has been banged up by people I clean for?" It was pretty bad though and she agreed she would need to get it fixed. Ok, so I leave for work. I get about three miles from my house and a guy in a truck goes left of center completely into my lane!
He had been bent over doing something, I couldn't see his head! I swerved to avoid a head on collision and side swiped a mail box and a pole with the right side of my mom's car, demolishing the passenger side mirror. He didn't even stop, let alone turn around. I doubt he even realized what happened.
At this point I was in hysterics.
I called my DH cell. He had left a few min. behind me and said sit tight he would be right there. Thank the Lord he had taken the kids with him. I was shakey and very upset. I also called my mom and she said to calm down it would be alright and we would get it taken care of. I CAN NOT BELIEVE this has all happened to me all before 9AM!
I got control of myself and drove on to work, red swollen face and all! I look like I have had a severe allergic reaction to something after I have been crying really hard.
I am trying to remain upbeat. But, as the day has wore on, the financial impact of it all is hitting me hard. How will I ever cover all this?
If I EVER meet this guy Murphy, he is one cooked goose!
