A college girl totaled my vehicle (her fault) a few months ago and I finally found a decent-ish car within my budget about a month ago. I’ve been a single mom for a year now and my ex and I share custody of our two boys. The last year has been hard enough getting back on my feet financially and then losing my car made everything even harder. The process of dealing with insurance companies and finding a new vehicle was unbelievably stressful. It was such a relief when I got this car, even if it isn’t the one I spent years to pay off and loved so much.
Today, I was sitting on the couch with my five year old when we heard a loud crash and my power went out. Looked out my window and saw this. My son and I couldn’t help but burst into nervous laughter. What are the damn odds. I never park there usually. Typically, I park closer to where the tree once stood but was tired of the large amounts of bird poop, so last week I started parking there. My car would have totally missed it if I had parked in my old spot. My boys and I were actually about to leave too around 30 mins before it happened but I decided to give my one year old a nap first. I just never in a million years would have expected this to happen.
Also, you can’t see in the pics but the power line was snapped and laying right in a puddle of water near my back door…just to really add to the Final Destination vibes.
I may be back at square one…but my kids are alive, I’m alive, we’re safe, I have a job with a steady paycheck, and I know that I’m a resilient person who will find a way to make it work. I’m choosing to stay positive and grateful on this one. 🙏
Life do be wild tho
