What a day!

Well my day started out just hunky dorey! First off we over slept and trying to get my crew moving is like moving a mountain. we were to be at my mom's this morning and I wanted to get there and spend some time so not to feel rushed about heading home. I live about 2 blocks from Walgreen's and I ran in the door for a soda on the way. As I was backing out a car approached my from the driver side, and I stopped backing out to not hit him. Then when I looked to the right another vehicle was backing out and turning toward my passengers door. I looked up in the rear view mirror and seen the parking spots behind me were empty so I proceeded to back up to get out of the way.......WHACK!! Yep... I backed into a light pole that sticks out into the parking lot that was in my blind spot.

( I was parked where the yellow poles are facing the store)

And now for the damage.....



I just started crying because I knew it was bad. I went home first before I got out because I didn't want to have a break down in Walgreen's parking lot. When I stepped out I was like HOLY COW! I got back in and called Walgreen's to report in the chance they would pay for the damage because it is obviously a bad place for a pole and I wasn't the first to hit it by the looks of it.

. The girl told me there was nothing they could do so I called Andy. He calmed me down and I called Walgreen's back to report it again and tell them I wanted a claim filed. They pacified me this time and called there claims department and filed it.
I then composed myself (yes I am a wimp) and headed to my moms. On the way down I realized I had forgotten to take anything out for dinner and that meant Andy would be gathering when he got home. LOL! Finally got to moms and enjoyed my visit with her. Of course her house isn't child proof so it was a constant up and down to get her and James out of things. My mom has these 7 ft tall glass cabinets that house salt and pepper shakers. All I could imagine was one of my children smacking a toy into and glass flying everywhere. Now that I am home I can report that did not happen WHEW!. Stayed longer than I planned but that's okay too because I did beat Andy home and sent him out to "gather" dinner. Since he is walking in the door now with my Fiesta Lime Chicken from Applebees I better cut this short. I am so glad this day is almost over. I did not accomplish much today with the blog so I feel behind again. oh well...Goodnight all.....
