Lame Day

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. Amir was doing fairly well considering he is officially in "terrible 2's" mode. But after watching a few shows with Amir downstairs I came back up to find Jasper ON the kitchen table chewing up my iPhone charger. That's right, that dummy was laying on the table like it was his bed chewing it up. I cannot even put into words how angry I was about that. I try to plug the cord into my laptop to see if it would work (its not completely chewed) it kills my laptop. He could have chewed up anything... My flip flops were laying not even 6 inches away from the table on the floor... Also my laptop cord had fallen down and was on the floor as well next to the flip flops. Amir's bedroom door was even open to a smorgasbord of stuffed animals/toys. But no... He decided to get up on the table and chew up the CORD TO MY BRAND NEW IPHONE!! *breathe in slowly*

Anyway... I needed to go over to my mom's house and there is an at&t store right on the way. So when I stopped there and paid for my new charger the man behind the counter realized that they didn't actually have any in stock. (UGH!) He gave me my receipt and told me to go over to the one in Brickyard. Which was only a ten minute drive and is still pretty close to my mom's house. On my way over there Amir began to throw the biggest, loudest tantrum I have ever witnessed. I was completely distracted while I was driving and rear ended a girl in a jeep. (double UGH!) So now here I am, phone dying, just been in a car accident with my child perfectly calm in the back seat explaining to me what had just happened *insert funny noises and crashing sounds here* - Long story short, crashed... Everyone was okay, police came, the girl was really nice, my mom came to pick up Amir so he didn't have to sit there the whole time, cop didn't give me a ticket (yay!) and my car was still drivable. Although my hood is munched and it looks like when Rich hit the deer with the black car we used to own. After about 30 minutes of waiting for the cop to put all the information in we were on our way. I was determined to get to the at&t store even though at this point I just wanted to crawl into a hole and hibernate for a while. When I got there I showed the man my receipt and he gave me an open charger. He said that he had just opened it and that it should work. I took it out to my car and it didn't work.

While I was testing it in my car a guy came up to my car and asked me for $2 to ride the bus home because his car had broken down. I don't think it costs $2 to ride the bus buuuuut I gave him my last dollar because he looked like he was going to cry. Then as I was going back into the store I saw him and 3 other guys talking showing what they had scored from everyone (duh!) Right then I remembered why I hate going up to the Brickyard/Sugarhouse area... Someone ALWAYS asks me for money and if I don't give it to them I feel bad and if I do I feel stupid for being sucked into their lies!

Ummmm, where was I? Oh yeah, I went back into the store and told the man that it didn't work and we worked it out so he will pick one up in Sugarhouse and take it to the Murray store (the original store that I paid for it)

Then I took the drive of shame back to my moms house. With a munched hood I might as well have a big neon sign that flashes and says "LOOK AT ME! I REAR ENDED SOMEONE!! I SUCK AT DRIVING!" Luckily by the time I picked up Amir and got his stuff together to go it was dark. Either people couldn't see the front of my car or I just couldn't see them staring. Either way I was happy about it.

By the way, there was pretty much zero damage to the other car... I'm never driving again.

The End.
