Tuesdays stink more than Mondays!!!

Mondays are typically a stressful day for me for work-but it seems lately, everything falls apart on Tuesdays.  A few weeks ago on a Tuesday, I was running some errands for work, and rear-ended someone in the Volvo. It had to get an entire new bumper and hood and we JUST got it back on Friday. Ruined my entire day!

So, this morning I get a call from Elden.  Someone stole the Volvo! 

Yep! Tuesdays OFFICIALLY suck! I'm in Oregon watching my sister Penny's kids and so he was driving the volvo to work.  He had gotten in the car to leave, and had to come back in the house to get something he left inside, and then he heard the car door shut.  He said he ran out as fast as he could and jumped on the hood-he held on until they got past our neighbors house and ended up with some road rash on his hands, arms and leg, and tore up his uniform. He said he didn't know what he was thinking because he really could have been hurt! (The police officer also lectured him a little about doing that) Luckily he's just a little sore.  Anyway-I sure hope they find it!! I love the Volvo! It's a REALLY good car, still in good shape (especially because it just got a new hood and bumper last week as well as a new radiator in October), and most importantly-it's paid for! So, we'd love to go a few more years without a car payment!  I'm hoping and PRAYING it will be found!!

Elden and I were just talking that now we totally feel violated! We used to think our neighborhood was fairly safe.  It's typically very quite with not much going on. Now I want to move more than ever (we were already tossing around the idea so we could live closer to Schriever AFB so Elden didn't have such a long commute), and if we don't, I feel like we need to get a security system put in or something.  We already have to put new locks on the door since the house keys were on the keys to the car.   I'm already really jumpy when I'm home alone-which is all day since I work from home, (or even with Elden home, I sometimes get freaked out) but now I feel like it's going to be worse.  Basically-i'm ready to sell it and move to a house in a gated community! 

I always wonder what type of person does stuff like this? Obviously it's hard to imagine being that evil to take things that don't belong to you and hurt people....but it's even scarier knowing that someone like that, is lurking in my neighborhood! Yep! I'm ready to move!
