He jumps out of bed, throws on some shorts and runs out front to see what is going on. He comes in a few minutes later to get a flashlight. The guy was leaving his friends house in our development when his car broke...the front tire is rubbing against the wheel well, and he destroyed his transmission. In the midst of this, his beer spilled all over him and his car. I'm sure it wasn't his first or only. My husband tries to help him move the car out of the middle of the road, but drunk guy isn't really cooperating, and keeps refusing to call a tow truck. Around 3:45 we give up on him and try to go back to bed.
Friday afternoon, the neighbor comes out to tell us that he helped push the guys car off the street. Which is nice, except it's perfectly lined up with our driveway now, and makes getting in and out of our driveway difficult. He also told us that a major drug bust occurred in the rental house located diagonally from us. The tenants have lived there for a month...we live in a nice development.
On Saturday, Monster and I had a little stroll through the woods. Well, actually, it was a leave no trace hike with his cub scout pack. We took the short trail, and 3 miles later we finally were hot and thirsty and ready to go. But first, Monster and I had to take a visit to the nature center. I loved the displays in there, but these two were my favorites.
After that, we went to our local orchard for the annual festival, enjoyed some free peach ice cream and a hay ride. My mil invited the kids over to swim, so I took Monster home to get his bathing suit. As I pulled into my drive, there was a police officer parked behind the car and in front of the drug bust house. I did a few things in the yard while he ran inside, then had a discussion with the officer about the car. Unfortunately, they can't tow it, but can only continue to ticket it for being parked the wrong direction. As I was leaving, my mom pulled up and joined me. We were almost out of the development when I realized I had left my phone on the bumper of my car. I turned around to go home and prayed that it wasn't destroyed. I couldn't find it. We finally found it where I had turned around, and the screen was shattered. I was sick...I literally thought I would throw up. My mom took Monster over to swim, and I googled trying to figure out what my options were.
I stayed home Sunday and finished rearranging and cleaning my craft area. (more to come on this!) I needed to soothe my nerves.
On Monday, we drove the hour north to the nearest Apple Store, and the awesome Genius offered me a one time replacement on my phone for free. I wanted to hug him!
The car is still sitting there, and the drug bust house is still occupied, now with a new member and a pit bull...oh yay! Hopefully I don't have another weekend like that anytime soon!
