The Morning

Bobby got home this morning from work at 7:00. I had gotten up early and was ready to go as soon as he walked in the door. Britney decided to set her alarm so she would be awake while we were gone. Bobby and I stopped by our friend, Theron's house to let out his dog. Theron's on a cruise! I'm so happy for him.

After that, we headed to Enterprise to pick up our rental car since the Ford dealership had called to let us know our parts are in. We had to wait outside until they unlocked the door at 7:30. Bobby had talked with someone from Allstate (The lady who hit us...the second time...her insurance company) and everything was suppose to be set up for us. It wasn't. And I brought the wrong paperwork...the one with the claim number from the first accident. I called Britney and she was able to help us out and find the information we needed. Bobby had to call Allstate again and the person wasn't so helpful. He/she had the info in the computer that it had been set up but couldn't find the reservation number. They ended up having to cancel that whole thing and do another one. We were guessing where they set the reservation up at. It's entered by store number, not by actual street address, so a wrong number messes the whole thing up. The guy at Enterprise looked up all of Alabama, and parts of Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida and couldn't find it. At any rate, we have in our possession for the next 3 days or so, a 2010 Chevy Traverse. In RED! Momma likey! I'm not going to want to take this thing back:)

Then we dropped off The Beast at the Ford dealership. They're saying it will be ready Tuesday of next week, so the rental that Allstate is covering won't last the whole length of the repair time. Our insurance will have to pick that up Friday morning.

When we got back home, we found Britney on Khan Academy and Cody is still in bed. Bobby's asleep now. I'm back in jammies, finally getting some coffee.

Accident

I was in an accident last Tuesday. I had left the kids home so I could run some errands...which included paying our insurance. Oh, the irony.

Even though it wasn't a bad accident, it was scary and I know I said something naughty after the woman hit me.





We crossed a major intersection about the same time...me in the right lane, her in the left. Traffic was stopped in the left lane so people could turn into a shopping center. Instead of the lady stopping, she started to slow down and then sporadically decided to change lanes right on top of me.

She was apologetic and admittedly in a hurry. She was driving her sister's car. Her sister had neglected to renew her insurance on July 1st. Ugh.

Besides the scrapes and dents, it messed something up with the door so it's not sealing properly.

We got an estimate yesterday.

It will be nearly $3000 to fix The Beast.
