THAT WAS CLOSE ! ! !

Thursday wasn't a day for us to get out of the house to pay bills
for a lot of reasons, not just cause it was cold or windy, but for
the simple fact NOTHING went right from the get go.
Lets start with when we left the house, the car showed we
had 3 low tires, so hubby keeps driving & I told him, You
know what you kept telling me about low tires? don't keep
driving, always check the tires B-4 you leave, yes dear he
says so he goes down the road to a place to check them.
He gets the portable air pump to air them up, it doesn't work
so he gets to a gas station & the air pump doesn't work
then we have to back track & go to town which was the
opposite direction we were going to start with to get air.
He gets to a place, gets the air & goes to pull away &
wouldn't you know it, he drives over a huge curb, yeah
The same curb I just told him to not hit, it was high enough
that I thought 4-sure we were going to get stuck, W T ?
So he gets off the curb & says they need a big rock there
& I said, yeah so you could have hit it instead, then I said
they should have a post there tall enough to see.
We get through ALL that & the next thing he says damn
I left the cell phone at the house I'm like I'm done, I'm
ready to just go back home & crawl back in bed for the day.
That's just the START OF our bill day what's next ? well
by the time we get to our fav eating place I've lost my
hunger to eat, but I manage to eat a little something.
We get the bills paid & stop by wally world for some
can dog food & I got 24 can's with what $ I had BUT
I was a dollar & some change off 46 $ & some change
well I thought I had just enough but I didn't so I just
said to heck with going to get the extra I needed &
put the full amount on the visa card, & that was that.
It was late, I was beat tired, stressed to the max, &
not to mention cold as ? & still had to feed the dogs
when we get back home, so we're on our way home.
Everything was quiet no radio, no talking, going home
we were at a 4 way stop & was going through & out
of the blue, we came close to getting hit by a state trooper
that was coming from my side of the car, Right straight
at us at a fast speed fixing to T-BONE us, holy cow ! ! !
he had turned on his siren just as he was going through
the cross road at the same time we were going across.
Talk About being close, that was TOO CLOSE . . .
We're o.k we're home in 1 piece & I have to say I
hope we NEVER have to have another day like that
ever again, that was the worst bill paying day we've
ever had.
I rather go back to the days when we use to buy
the money orders for our bills & mail them just so
we didn't have to be out all day in the cold weather
& take a chance of getting hit by a cop.
I leave you with this in mind, be careful in the cold &
stay safe cause you never know what's going to happen
on the streets, I wish you all a safe merry Xmas

Glad you got home safely. I would report that near accident as he should have had the sirens on earlier.

Not if you can't see anything but the front of the car
coming straight at you within a few feet.

Too damn close if you ask me, I've been in some
close issues in my life over the yrs like while I was
in the hospital trying to stay alive on & off that was
a close 1 as well but thank God he pulled me through.

so many unexpected situations. i think i would just give it all up after the cellphone part - i'd go home and stay home. i'd pay the bills some other day
sometimes i feel like the universe is sending us signs not to do something or gives us some dumb situations so that we would give up the idea of doing something. too bad we rarely listen to those signs

I wouldn't say the universe but I will say god above is
testing us everyday for what & how we handle certain things in life.
