Drama Mama!

My goodness the past 2 days have been insane!

As if I wasn't overly spastic enough - I walk to our car yesterday - drudging going to work - and I notice I am missing the entire back window - not just missing - it looked like my window simply exploded. Also - our car as filled with snow - which then turned to freezing rain - so all in all it was a great morning.

Being smart - and not wanting the car to become anymore damaged - I moved it to our underground parking spot so it would be away from theft and the elements. Once all the snow melted off - I realized that the window was the least of my problems. It appeared from the scratch marks - and the dent that almost removed poor Faris the Yaris' roll-cage - that something much taller than Faris the Yaris - literally drove over the top of back end of the car. Poor Faris didn;t stand a chance.

So after freaking out - come on you would've too! We drove the beat up car on the Don Valley Parkway all the way to the accident reporting centre (in a downpour of freezing rain in order to file a police report or our insurance. While there - many kind police officers snickered or out right laughed at the sight of our car - me not so much. If only Officer Miller was there - maybe things would've been different. Seeing as how Jonathan was there as well - I didn't think it appropriate to negotiate Faris' sweet justice by using our baby as a bartering tool (AGAIN.)

After calling the insurance company - I learned that since I can't prove who did it - I have to pay our insanely high deductible. You're right State Farm - I drove over the car myself....whatever.

After much speculation - and cussing - I found out from one of our amazing neighbours that will be getting an enormous Christmas Gift - they witnessed the whole event - meaning insurance will HAVE to take care of it. Now we find ourselves with fingers crossed that Faris the Yaris' Roll Cage is beyond repair so we can pick out a new car to love! I even called the goon that hit Faris (in front of 2 witnesses) giving him a chance to pay my deductible instead of my having to go through insurance - magically he only called me back after my insurance company called him - and he said I SCREWED HIM?! welcome to Toronto Friends! The dumbass tries to pull a hit and run with 2 people seeing him - then leaves me to pick up the tab for his mistake..shaaaa right. Whatever happened to the good ole days of hit and runs - where the dink would just leave their license plate at the scene.

Anyway just more stress a.k.a. excitement for us to add to our list! I heard our babies heart beat again at the doctors this morning and it instantly cheered me up! I totally feel like its going to be a boy - Officer Miller will be proud!
