OMG!!!

The first thing I want to say is I think you need to have days like I had yesterday to truly appreciate those days where you think things aren't going all that great.

Here's My Day Yesterday

My day started off with Larkyn waking up at 5am and would NOT go back to sleep... So No shower first thing and No morning walk for me. It was a very long morning. But I could handle this little wrinkle in my morning routine because after lunch my mother-In-Law was coming over so I could get out of the house for a while. I had planned the perfect afternoon for myself.
After I dropped Reegan off at school I then headed to the nearest mall were I purchased a few items from Eddie Bauer. Upon leaving the mall I stopped at Starbucks to indulge in a Frap and a piece of there banana bread, so far all is great. Sunroof was open Madonna was playing and my next stop was the Hair salon, where I was trimmed, twee zed and tinted. After a great make-up touch up I was ready to go.. I checked my watch 3:44pm, payed my bill said good-bye to the ladies and step out into the warm sunshine ready to take on the world (or just my three kids).
As I reached into my purse to pull out my car keys I notice something odd on the street. There was not one single car anywhere to be seen, that's when it dawned on me that MY CAR was GONE!! OMG!!! like a flash my mind was taken back to me standing at the cashier desk checking the time 3:44pm... 3:44pm and then I looked up on the post directly in front of me,, the one I have read so many times and the words TOW ZONE after 3:30pm hit me like a tone of bricks. THEY HAD TOWED MY CAR!!!! OMG!!!!

With my tail between my legs I walked back into the salon to call my husband. Not sure what his reaction would be when I told him. I was pleasantly surprised that he was once again the most understanding person I have every met. I called a cab and within a few minutes I was standing in front of the impound office. I walked through the front door,then proceeded to make way to the end of a very long line. While I waited my turn I stared out the window and watched in amazement as Tow Truck after Tow Truck just kept bring more helpless cars into the impound lot.
Finally it was my turn, I handed her my licence.. and gave her my licence plate number she showed me to the door were I would be escorted to my car so I could get my Insurance and registration out. As we approached my abducted vehicle I was shocked by all the cars around me.. black ones red ones cheap one and very expensive ones.. This was an elite club I had just joined. We got to my car and I reached inside my purse for my keys only to find them NOT THERE!!.. I checked and double checked, zipped and unzipped pockets NOTHING! My mind once again started to spin backwards in the hope to retrace my steps... walking in the the building,, then getting out of the cab.. walking back into the salon putting the phone down from calling the cab setting my car keys on the front counter.. realizing my car was gone. "Wait a minute did I just say I left my keys on the counter???" YUP!! Feeling like right about now I really needed some reassurance that I was not a total BLOND I said the the man beside me "I'm sure you see this sort of stuff all the time" "NOPE" was his reply. OMG!!!
I got my cell phone out to call the salon and of course it wad dead. I managed to use the phone inside and yes indeed my keys were there.. They even tried to call me but my phone was dead so I didn't get the call.
Back into the cab.. back into the salon and back to the impound lot and you guessed it back into that long line up again.
By this time I was really trying to think of something positive.. I figured one good thing was I was away from the kids a little longer so what if more me time consisted of standing in a lineup at the impound office, it was still time to myself"
Once again it was my turn ... this time I paid my towing bill and took my paper work and KEYS to my car to show the attendant my insurance and registration. This ordeal was finally over, me and my car would spring this joint in a matter of minutes. As my mind wandered the attendant brought me back to the real world by telling me my registration had expired on April 30, 2008... "So" I said, "isn't that today??" NOPE " I felt like asking him if that was the only word he new. "It's May 1 2008" he replied OMG!!!

In the end he let me go anyway !!!
