With time ticking away, we decided it was time for me to get a 4 door car! Luke thought it was going to be possible to shove (and I say that literally) a carseat through my 2 door Honda.
I dramatically explained to him the visions I was having of putting the baby in the car...imagine a sleep deprived Molly (not going to be pretty) on a hot, sweaty, summer day, crawling in the back of the car trying to squeeze a 20lb baby carrier through the door. I think it took him 2 seconds to realize that buying a new car would be a better alternative, rather than dealing with my meltdowns! :)
My new car is a 2011 Ford Escape! We looked at a bunch of vehicles, but decided that this was the best choice..with gas prices and all! It has the perfect amount of space, and very safe! It has heated seats, which have been fantastic for my back pain, and a back up camera (which will hopefully prevent me from hitting things).
Well, she was shiny, new and scratchless for umm... 1 1/2 weeks.....10 days to be exact. I am sure you aren't surprised, as I have the worst "luck" with vehicles (aka-I am an idiot). I pulled it into the garage, opened the trunk and then put the garage door down. Well, the trunk pops up, and because it's a higher SUV, a piece of metal hanging from the stupid garage door opener gashed the trunk. Imagine the screeching of metal on metal and then me screaming hysterically in the background! It was really cute! UH! There are 3 long gashes which total about $400.00 worth of damage. Only me! I was a hysterical mess, but Luke, yet again, calmed me down! He is an angel on earth to deal with me. I learned not to get upset about stuff like this, as it sent me to the hospital later that night with contractions. AH!
So, the next week, when I was headed to Sayre and a gas truck flung a ginormous rock into my windshield, leaving me with a cracked windshield, I just laughed! What can you do? So, my black beauty already has some character...all within its first 2 weeks of life! :)
