the rest of the story

my last post was a bit of a cliffhanger, so here's how the story ends...

johnny and i spent the rest of the day talking to the CHP, borrowing a car from my parents, and shopping for a new car seat for rory. we ended up getting a bigger car seat as we would needing one in a few months anyway, so in addition to all of the stress of the day, i had to take a moment to be sad that the thieves of my car were making my baby grow up just a bit faster. that bothered me, but she does not care a bit.
soon enough i had to shift gears, it was a sunday night, and kyle was to start high school the next morning; problem being that he could not go to sleep because he was having a full blown panic attack..sure that the people that took the jeep would be back for a third time. i was able to talk him down from his ledge, now if i can just come down from mine.
tuesday morning was very hectic. i am not yet used to the traffic so i got kyle to the bus stop late..too late. i called johnny to tell him that i was going to have to take kyle into the city when he informed me that the police had called to say they had found my jeep and were waiting for me to claim it in belvedere, school would have to wait.
we followed the directions to the street in belvedere where me jeep was...WOW! for those of you that have never been there, it is an area where the starting price for a home is about 5 million, and now i know why. it was as if i was transported to europe, the views are breathtaking!
oh, back to my drama. so when i got there the officer asked me to look in the car to identify my property...a mountain bike, ipods, cds wallets, buckets of credit cards, duffel's of clothes, every type of cord for any kind of device you can imagine, meth pipes, and a smell that would rival any crack house. not my stuff officer, not mine at all!
the police asked if they could take my jeep to process it thoroughly. of course i said yes. by the way, kyle really enjoyed this real life csi scenario and actually pointed out some very useful things to the officer, i am sure he was very excited to tell the school secretary all of the details when he finally got there, an hour late.
so the jeep is at the dealership being re-keyed, detailed and deodorized,now if i can just deal with my new and acute case of paranoia and ocd!

I'm glad they found your car, but bummer they made it a drug/stolen goods house. And by the way, I'd be paranoid too, it's totally normal! Don't be feeling bad about that.

Well when you finish the cliff hanger, you forgot a couple of details, such as was any of YOUR stuff there. And if not, was there anything good that you could claim as your stuff! You might have missed the golden opportunity for shopping!!! Just kidding....glad to know you got your rig back but I completely understand your paranoia and feeling of being totally violated...and not in a "fun" way!! I HATE it when that happens! Hang tough, Abba Dabba - you've survived bigger challenges!! XO Janet from another Planet
