 So here it is 2:30am I’m all alone driving down the road and all of a sudden everything that screams “BAD NEWS” when your car is about to die happens.
I pulled right into a parking lot, right when I placed the car in park it happened…
Dead.
Ugh…
Calling everyone I would think would be up at that hour to NO avail.
I in Cheryl like fashion went into immediate panic mode.
Calling my husband,
daughter,
son,
and of course no one can hear their phone or weren’t in the same room as their phones.
Again,
ugh….
FINALLY got a hold of my daughter who got her dad, my husband.
Granted he’s not supposed to drive at night but I was in sheer panic. I HATE being by myself late at night anyway, but to be broken down? That is THE worst.
Thank God he got there my heartbeat went to throbbing to calm as he said words of encouragement about everything being ok.
Thinking I needed a jump, I popped the hood only to see it, there, looking at me as if to say a big “FUCK YOU FOR BEING POOR.” The serpentine belt to my car just laying there…bastard.
Thank God for Progressive Insurance! They tow your car ya know? I strongly recommend them. Nicest people ever…even at 3am in the morning to a panicked crazy lady;)
They said it would be an hour…
40min later there the tow truck guy was in all his glory! I was so happy to see him.
My husband asked him “You want us to follow!?”
“Ummm nah, I’ll follow you if that’s okay. I know where you are, but it’ll be easier to find your drive way if you’re ahead of me.”
So off we went!
About 5min down the road my husbands cell rings.
It was progressive with a recording saying “Your tow truck will arrive in approx 20min.”
My husband laughed as he stated “wow they’re on top of things huh?”
Until I opened my big mouth with: “Great, if they’re going to be another 20min who in the hell is this with my car attached to his truck that we’re leading right into our driveway?” I laughed out loud and continued with “Suuure he knew where to go…of course it would be easier for us to pull in first, so we couldn’t get out maybe.” My husband looked at me with a glare in his eye, his smile wiped away and sternly said “there is something wrong with you. Why the hell would you even say that? It’s 3:30 in the damn morning and now I don’t even want to pull into the house…You know? THIS is why Serenity (our oldest child a tad obsessed with the dark side 😉 is so crazy…You watch way to much of that Criminal Minds shit Cheryl….Good Lord what the hell…? What were you thinking to say that shit right now?”
I could not help myself from laughing the whole way home. I guess I didn’t think about that thought spooking the shit outta him. I just thought, well, guess I didn’t think!
Hahaha
Maybe I do watch too much of Criminal Minds, Law And Order, NCIS, and any other fake, or real life crime show that’s on television. However BECAUSE of that I would be the girl who makes it into the sequel! (happy thought?)
TRUE STORY.
If I hear a noise at my front door I DO NOT GO OUT THERE!
If I pull into the house and my front door is open…I sure as hell won’t go in!
These are the things people need to think about you know!
Although….We did drive into the driveway with the tow truck behind us…

Until next time…DON’T EVER OPEN THE DOOR 😉
