I am blue!

Today I was packing a trailer to move some stuff back to NJ. Whew, why on earth would I do that with the heat index @105-just a mommanator sort of thing I guess. After loading the trailer I backed up the hubby's one yr old vehicle with trailer attached, of course-I TOLD HIM I COULDN'T"T BACK UP WITH TRAILER. So whilst backing up, something went wrong and I made a hole in the car. I have been in a state since. I did call him and tell him. He wasn't very happy! He is pretty handy with mechanical things so maybe he can fix or maybe my baby brother will get me out of dutch! or should I say out of the heat! I can blame no one but myself! But the kids were about, 2 of them in the car telling me what to do- like 7 yr olds know how to drive. Actually I didn't know I had even done it till my daughter said MOM, what did you do to the car, ya know it has a hole in it.
while this was all happening, my grandson 4 yr old, who loves water- sprayed his mom's cell phone. She was not blessed either! That isn't working- thankfully she has cell insurance.
Guess this is just another day in the life of the mommanotor! at least no person was injured-things can be replaced! And also am reminded that I am to be thankfull in all things-and so it goes! And how was your day!

Oh no! How bad is it? Is it fixed? I'm so sorry.

We're down to one car right now. One needs to go into the shop, and we're not completely sure it's coming back out! Great timing, with my last rent payment and my first mortgage payment looming. Oh well, no one's sick, no one's hungry and we still have air conditioning!

yowsers!
i sure hope you can get that fixed. but to your credit, you said you didn't know how to back up with a trailer, so ...
in the meantime, at least you can view this as the hilarious disaster episode in the sitcom that is your life. at least, i'm going to try to look at days like those as such in my life from here out. ... what if we all carried laughtracks and soundtrack stings with us, so everytime a ridiculous situation happened, we could just push a button and hear "wah-wah" followed by an audience's laughter? that would make disaster days that much more bearable!
