So, today, while I was being a Rent-A-Mom, I picked the girls up from Day Care and was taking them to their first day of Gymnastics! Exciting right?! Well, Clair knows her way around pretty well, so I was told to take her directions!! We pull into the parking lot of the gymnastics place and it is a bunch of warehouses kind of so it is just one HUGE parking lot to 10 different places. Clair said, "Turn here I think," so I turn. It was so sunny out, I didn't even see this wire. First of all, why would there be a wire in the middle of the parking lot... and second WHY WOULD THERE BE A WIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARKING LOT?! I ran right into the wire that anchors the electrical wires into the ground. Totally killed my car! I felt like such a bad person... I have two precious children in my backseat that CLEARLY aren't mine and I have just caused a huge dent in my car. It was not bad at all (the "collision") that I don't even think the children noticed what had happened! Lucky, no one was hurt and in reality, it wasn't all that bad. . . it is just very disappointing!! 2 and 1/2 years with no accidents, dents, or anything. . . until I run into a wire of all things!
So, as soon as it happened, I had to get the girls into the place to change and get ready, but by instinct, I called my mom to tell her what happened. Totally my bad, I called her and said, "Mom, I just got a dent in my car. I ran into a wire, Its not THAT bad, but I have to go . . . I will call you back in a few. Its really not THAT bad and no one was hurt!" Then I hung up. For you mothers out there, I know you know how she reacted to that!!! NOT A GOOD IDEA!! I called her back as soon as I could and told her what happened. Surprisingly enough, Dad took the news better than she did, but they both told me it was okay and it is really not a huge deal!
I am still not so sure of that but apparently they are. . . or they just told me that which works for me!!
I keep thinking about it and saying SHOOT to myself. . . . over and over... dangit!

Ouch! I'm sure the pictures don't do it justice! When you come home, we'll see what can be done! In the meanwhile, watch out for 'wires' in the parking lot! We love you and want you to be soooooo careful!
Oh my gosh...this brings back memories when Adrienne got into an accident while talking to me on the phone!! I know how your Mom must have felt. We are all cut from the same cloth. Glad you and the children were not hurt. What was a wire doing in the parking lot anyway??
