1. On Friday, we were going out for dinner for a belated birthday celebration for me (We went to Kerby Lane – they have breakfast 24 hours a day! Seattle people, it’s like the Brown Bag Cafe, except open 24 hours) and on the way there, we were stopped at a light and this girl in flip flops and talking on her cell phone jaywalked across this busy street and totally got hit by a car right in front of us!!!!!! It was horrifying. The car ran over her foot and her foot was MESSED UP!
The poor thing was so shaken up. I couldn’t get out of the car, but yelled her “Are you OK?” and she said “Yes, but my foot is really messed up!” Ummmm…no duh. Some people that could get to her helped her and we called 911. But THEN, she got into the car of the guy that hit her. I think he said he was going to take her to the hospital.
The 911 operator was not happy about that and fortunately a police car pulled up right as it was happening. I’m not saying that the young guy would have done anything to her, but come on girls! Don’t get into a car of a stranger even if your foot is totally jacked. WAIT for the ambulance. The other lesson to learn? Don’t jaywalk across a busy street at rush hour wearing flip flops and talking on your cell phone. It’s a bit of a recipe for disaster.
2. Apparently, we are screwed as far as getting Savannah into preschool any time soon. Like the housing market, preschools are SUPER competitive here. It appears that I should have had her on a wait list from birth. So I’m diligently sending in all my forms to a billion preschools and hopefully when the time comes, we’ll get her in somewhere. Ack!
3. I hate Time Warner Cable. A lot.
