Mama needs a new car!

So, I have been driving for 16 years now and have never received a ticket for speeding and think that I am a good driver. Well all that went out the window...

Shayla goes to an in-home daycare and the house is located at the end of south Main in Sheridan. The driveway is steep and made of dirt with a 3 to 6 foot embankments around it. My biggest fear everytime I pick up Shayla is that my car is going to roll backwards out of the driveway.... WELL, guess what! Two Thursday's ago I was picking up Shayla for her first full day of daycare (8 to 5) and was rushing. I pulled up the driveway, set my emergency break (didn't want the car to roll) and got out. Now what did I forget to do... oh yeah put the car in park!! Brian often times tells me that I am the smartest girl but sometimes I can do the stupidest things. This certainly tops the list. As I ran up the stairs to get Shayla I turned to see my car rolling down the driveway, up the embankment and then roll over onto South Main Street - oh yeah all the way over so the tires were in the air!!

So needless to say we are in the process of shopping for a new car and I will never park in that driveway again. Level street parking is good for me!!

Okay you can laugh now ;-)

  1. oh my gosh Beth- I did have to laugh and read this to Bryan but ONLY because no one got hurt. Bryan asked if there were pictures. So sorry, but just thank God everyone is OK. I guess you have a good excuse to get a new car.
