Car Wrecks

It happened again……I think I’m just prone to them. It might be the fact that I get side tracked really easily orrr I freak out in stressful situations maybe it’s a combination of the two but either way I’m a BAD driver.  The only reason I got my license was because Pete (the proctor man) said “I could tell you were nervous…..so even though you missed 46 points I’m passing you” I could have just kissed that man right on the lips! Yeephee! But now I’m thinking maybe he should have never given me a license because I’m prone to hitting things….

·         An elderly ladies car (my very first encounter hitting something I cried for hours, I was traumatized)

·         A light pole on my way to school, thankfully the snow cushioned the blow and no one was hurt. (remember that Aimee?)

·         That poor cat that was in the street, it was no match for my family’s minivan. Rest its little soul

·         A little birdie, that one kinda ran into me

·         A trash can….ok many trash cans. One of the biggest dents in my car is from a recycling bin. How does that happen?

·         I dented the side of my car running for my life answering a boy back to senior cotillion too. Good times.

·         A Big white truck on the way to school……not my best moment. (Remember that one too Aimee? You’re my car/accident buddy)

·         Today I hit a sweet girls car, totally my fault, just ran into the back of her. It’s moments like those when you wish you could reverse time. But she was soo nice. I made a new friend out of it J

The day I got Calinte! *notice no dents :)

Every time I’ve bumped, squashed, hit or ran in the back of something…..I was traumatized, but after a while it became funny. Mom always says “Crisis +  Time = Humor” and that’s soo true! I’m the laughing joke in the family about car issues…but when it happens and I’m upset Mom just holds me and strokes my hair and I feel tons better. I have wonderful family and friends who are so thoughtful and helpful when I get in a pickle. Amber and JT came to the rescue and roped up my bumper so I could drive home (only a boy scout would have rope in their backpack?) So even though today was a NO GOOD VERY BAD HORRIBLE DAY, it actually turned out to be a great day! Thanks to all the friends and family support! Life is beautiful.
