Tire #2

It started out as a good day....but didn't stay that way for long. If you read my previous blog about Monday, i ran over a nail and that resulted in a flat right front tire. Well, it was Thursday and what seemed to be a normal day. I took the girls to school in the morning. Emily had called me to drop off her flute. it wasnt a band day but apparently they had something special planned and Emily wasnt in school on Tuesday and didnt know that she would need her flute....anyway; that is normal in my world. i went to work. i had a super busy day....which i like! after work i was driving home and as i got closer to the z-spot i started to think i needed an iced coffee to jump start my night. knowing i had school til 8:30pm; i wanted to stay awake. at the last second i decided to turn into the drive through and when i did my car went a little wide and the curb around the building got in the way of my left front tire and i heard a sheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! i looked in disbelief but there it was......right in front of my eyes........my tire was deflating!! i quickly pulled into a parking spot to be out of the way and immediately called... my step-dad. As i was waiting for him to come i did go in and get my latte (needing it more now than ever) George put my spare on and we were off to pomps for another tire. of course i couldnt just fix the tire....i had to buy another one! two in one week....not good for the budget. the weird thing about this is i've been driving since i've been 16...let's just say a long time and i've never experienced a flat tire before and then i get two in one week! that's a little crazy.
i got home in time to change clothes,grab my school bag, kiss the girls good-bye and run out the door for school. i was about 10min late for my math class (which i did apologize for after class). my night was better after that. My parents joke about not answering their phone anymore when i call unless i tell them all my tires are ok! we joke about it but i tend to watch what i'm driving on more that i used to. Friday, Paige was driving (she's got her learners permit) and had to pull in a parking space. well she hit the curb with the back right tire and i just about cried....afraid to look to see if we had yet another flat tire but i straightened out the car and all the tires were ok!
