Car Trouble-- When it Rains it Pours

No pictures for this post, but quite a story.

This morning I took Ellie to ballet while Daniel went to a dermatologist appointment. I can't find my phone (I let one of the kids slobber on it so who knows where they put it), so I was no where to be found when Daniel was unable to start his car after the appointment. Apparently the battery was dead.

Finally, I get home and get his call and run off to pick him up. It is 11:20 at this time and he needs to be at school at noon and he is about 15 minutes away. Luckily, I made most all of the lights and made it there in record time.

On the way to take Daniel to school (he had been in the car for less than one minute), a big truck hits us from behind. Scared Owen half to death! It was a very minor accident and not my fault. So, we pulled over and exchanged information (even though the guy seemed filthy rich and wants to pay cash). Then we were on our way again. Daniel made it to school at 11:59.

So, my afternoon has been filled with making tow truck and repair shop phone calls. Hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be thankfully. Just kind of annoying as is any car trouble.
