When your day begins with a nice friendly chat with Mr. Police officer there is only one way to go….down!

It is suppose to be over the hump day. On my way to taking youngest son to school Mr. Nice Police Officer stopped me. I guess both of my tail lights were burned out (which I did not know so thankyouverymuch ).

So after he researched my family history, took a blood test, did a criminal background history (why yes officer I do have a brother who is a cop, and I should know better than driving with no tail lights), he wrote me a warning and told me to go straight to the dealership.

I showed up at the dealership thinking I will be an hour late or so going into work, but it turns out it will be a half of day process. So I have the dealership’s courtesy vehicle drive me to work. They drop me off and as I begin to walk into my building I realize I left my office keys at the dealership…on my keychain. I am the only one who works in my office and it is locked.

So I sit out side my office until I can get ahold of manly man (by the way when you sit on cold concrete your behind freezes, just thought I would let ya’ll know this in case you too get locked out of your office. It was cold outside). Just as I begin to think I need to walk the 3 miles home, manly man calls me back. He tells me to walk to his office (which is three blocks away) and sit there until he is done with a meeting.

So I sit and wait, then manly man drives me back to the dealership to get my office keys (insert much frustration in both of us. In all honesty manly man was nice, maybe it was due to the fact he saw my face already puffy from the crying and my butt looked frozen). The dealership said there is an electrical shortage, so they are fixing that also. Can someone please tell me why when you take your car in they always finds tons more wrong with it. And why it never falls on a payday…NEVER!

What a start to a day. I am already worn out and it is only 10 AM. Can I go back to bed and hit “restart” somewhere?
