Never a dull moment!

Clint came home last night! Yay! The kids were so excited waiting for Daddy. We had birthday gifts for him and a cake. He turned the big 4-1 on Tuesday, so they were waiting to celebrate with Daddy. Clint somehow managed to sneak off an hour early so he'd be home before dark! All was going well..... until it was 7pm and he wasn't home yet.

Then the phone rang, and I knew something had happened. Clint says, "You're never going to believe this...."

About 2 miles from the road to our house on Hwy 90, "something" hit the car. Clint was behind another car, and whatever it was went under the other car and hit Clint's. It was so fast Clint has no idea what it was. It hit pretty hard.... flattened the front driver's side tire, then hit the back and flattened that tire too. AND it was hard enough to bend the rims. What was it?? We don't know! He said it was pretty big. Big enough to have flipped the car. Or he could have lost control and had a bad accident. Traveling 70mph+ and having something hit like that is pretty dangerous!* Thankfully none of that happened! He was able to regain control well enough to pull over and call for help.

Of course he had to wait for the state police to come for an incident report. The call for a tow truck since the tires and rims were busted. It looks like the rims will have to be ordered, so we are down to one vehicle for a while. Luckily my Dad has 3 vehicles so we can always borrow one of his if need be.

But Clint is home safe and sound. The car can be fixed. We have the means to fix it. As always... things could have been much worse.

*Shame on those of you who are making jokes about an accident. You wouldn't like it if it happened to your husband... oh wait, never mind.
