Van Repo’d

• by Judi on Jan 25, 2008

Sleeping so well, snuggled between my boys, baby pooch at my knees, warm and cozy… 3 o’clock in the morning, the sound of gravel crunching in the drive sends me flying out of bed, my heart to pounding, the ferocious beast growling and barking.. no porch light (didn’t I *just* change that dang thing!?) and I see my car, my van.. attached to a tow-truck at the end of my driveway…

My heart just sank.

I was going to make the payment this morning.. Oh sure, that’s what they all say.. but no, really. I was only a month behind until 2 days ago.. and I had to pay our crazy water bill first.. I won’t even go into that one.. (a toilet that ran a full day and a leaky faucet.. need I say more other than “ouch!”)

The guy was really nice.. said if I’d give him the keys (I did) that he’d call it in as a voluntary repo.. and I could call Honda in the morning and work things out. I asked him if he was lying to me.. about getting it worked out and getting my van back.. he promised no.. but … well.. like he’s going to say “um, well, damn, you caught me.. yeah, I’m lying.. you’ll never see your car again wa-ha-ha

Poor little Ry wakes up and says who’s taking our car?

The boys are sleeping (the girls never even woke up - not even with my sobbing through the house).. the dogs went potty and all is quiet again.. but I have no car. I got my ipod out of it.. but not Ry’s carseat - lordy.. shame on me.. but it was SO cold (it’s 4 degrees right now) and I couldn’t get my fingers to work around it.. so I guess he’s truly housebound until I get this worked out.

During my midnight computer time, I did visit a couple sites… cre8buzz, 365 Days of Lotus (I keep thinking about doing this), Dirt Makes Fat…
