Let's start with the towing, shall we? I was going to title the blog 'the repo man cometh' but that wouldn't actually be correct since the car is paid in full... anyway, back to the story.

I had mom's night out last night at a friend's house. We became a bit lost trying to find the place so when I finally did I was pretty relieved. I parked around the corner from her house.

About an hour and a half later her neighbor rang the door bell and mentioned that some cars were towed that were on the side of the house. Well, I knew right then it had to be me.

I went out and, sure enough, there was a no parking sign at the very corner facing the other way. Because of the yellow dim lights the curb looked no different than the rest of the curbs in the place. Funny, the WHOLE side of the road is a no parking zone, but there was one sign at the beginning of the road and the stop sign at the other end. No more notice.

Of course, those are just excuses, I should have noticed, but didn't. So I called Matt and told him I would be getting a ride home. He assumed it was because I had been drinking and that would have made sense, it IS MNO afterall. But nope, I got my butt towed! Funniest part (I guess that depends who you talk to) is that I took Matt's car last night since my car didn't have much gas and I didn't want to stop for it. Plus, I get gas at BJs and it was in the other direction. So I was going to get gas for my car today. But instead, Matt had to drive my car AND get gas this morning, too!

Another mom got her car towed, too. Her and her husband went to go and pick it up and offered to have me come along, too. I told Matt and he said not to worry about it and he'd just pick it up today. So I believe that's what he's doing on his lunch break with a coworker. Sorry hon! I got a ride home from another mom and needless to say, I actually DID have a couple drinks after that incident. I wasn't driving home, after all.

Thank goodness for green giant veggies in sauce. Maddy loves the corn and butter sauce and cheesy broccoli. At least I'm getting some veggies in her! I'm thrilled. I will try something new next time. She didn't like the green bean casserole.

I mailed out about half of my Christmas cards yesterday. I mailed them out to the people who won't be getting extra pictures of Maddy. The rest will need to wait until I receive all my pictures by the end of next week. I'm excited to see them all!
