Crazy!

This last month has been crazy! I was rear ended on September 8th and my vehicle was totaled. I was stopped at a red light and rear ended by another driver who told the police that she thought the turn lane had a green light because other traffic was moving too. Apparently the stopped cars in front of her didn't clue her in to the fact that maybe she should stop too. She hit my vehicle so hard that she pushed it 5 feet forward, causing me to rear end the vehicle in front of me. She called her father and he arrived at the scene of the accident and tried to get his "little girl" out of the ticket and actually told the police officer that it was absurd that his daughter get a ticket for careless driving since she's not any more careless than any other driver in Joplin. Her father also wanted to know why I didn't get a ticket and the officer told him that they usually don't give tickets to people who are innocently rear ended while sitting at a red light. 

I have 3 sons and two of them had birthdays this month. The youngest turned 5 and the middle son turned 12. My oldest is 15. I have been busy attending the older boy's sporting events. My oldest is in cross country and my middle boy plays football.

I also have 3 dogs, a 6 year old chocolate lab, one male and one female chihuahua. The female chihuahua gave birth to SIX puppies the day after my middle son's birthday. So, I guess I have 9 dogs temporarily!

Last night, my garage was broken into. Luckily nothing of importance was taken. I had about a case of beer left over from a get together that were left in a cooler in my garage. The beers had been there for almost 3 weeks, so they were warm and probably pretty skunky. That is what the thieves decided to steal, skunky beer. They were polite thieves, they did leave one beer in the cooler. For insurance purposes I had to have the police come fill out a report and it was a little embarrassing to tell them the only thing they stole was my beer. Because of all the damage they caused to my garage door it's going to have to be replaced now and the estimate of replacing it is just over one thousand dollars. That's an expensive case of beer, I hope the thieves puke their guts out from drinking that skunky beer!
