So we have been snowed/iced in for about a week now.
This is how it's been at our house:
Sunday: Also known as Boy 1's Bday, the snow started. We got about 5".
Monday: School's Cancelled!! YAY! Let's play in the snow!!
Tuesday: School - cancelled - Yippee! Movie Day! Time to put that NetFlix subscription to good use!
Wednesday: Still no school...woohoo...... This is when The Brain realizes that I have never seen "The Shining" and decides to remedy this tragic situation. Have you ever seen this movie? Family is essentially snowed in for the winter and the husband goes crazy and tries to kill everyone...Great!
Thursday: Still...no school - 7 hours of Monopoly
Friday: Boys have been fighting all day! But now the roads are better and we just might make it out alive!
On another note: I have 2 quizzes on Tuesday for a class I haven't been to yet nor do I even have the book for! Absolutely splendid I say.

Hit and Run
Yesterday I was involved in a hit and run, hence the title of this post, and no I was not the hitter, I was the hitee.
It was minor, just a little damage to my bumper. The lady was driving a Uhaul and towing another vehicle when she sideswiped my rear end in a Wendys parking lot. She then stopped at a gas station adjacent to where I was parked. Not knowing exactly how to handle the situation, I called The Brain and he promptly drove up to where we were and explained to the woman that she had hit me. He was really nice about the whole thing, a lot more so than I would have been. Of course she denied it. In fact she acted as though she knew nothing - like nothing at all. It was as though she had never driven a vehicle before and had possibly even been born in the very spot she now stood. I think at one point she even said she didn't know his wife or anyone named Wendy! When he explained that yes she did hit my car, possibly without knowing due to the size of the vehicle she was in, and that we needed to exchange information because the police where on the way to take the report, she jumped in her vehicle saying something like, " Oh that lady? Damn!" and drove off. The Brain was still in his truck so he followed her and took pictures of her tag.
Did I tell you that my insurance company is scary AWESOME (at least right now - will hold final judgement until this whole mess is over)? Well they are! USAA is the best! I called them and explained the situation and in less than 2 hours they know who she is. Or at least who the vehicle in tow belongs to. As of now my financial liability is zero - again withholding final verdict....
The police officer was great too! I know that this is a minor thing and he probably has more important things to do, but never once did he make me feel as though I was wasting his time! I think he may have even taken the matter more seriously than we did.
But mostly: The Brain is my hero, my prince, my knight in shining armour. This is not the first time he has rushed to my rescue. He is amazing and I love him so incredibly much!
I'm not mad that the woman hit my car. I'm not mad that she denied it, that's what you do. I'm mad that she drove off. OK maybe mad is too strong of a word...disappointed???
