Life Happens

Well it's been a week of bads. Its hard for a mom when you can't kiss and make things better. So this is what happened. Amber was driving over to our house to pick something up. ( For those of you who didn't know, Amber is living in her own apartment.) On her way here is a train crossing and a train was coming. The car in from of Amber started to go across and beat the train so Amber moved up. The the car changed it's mind and backed up and hit Amber's car. Luckly, the Ford Focus sits a little low in the front, and the Rav 4 sits a little high so all that was damaged was a bit of scraping on the corner of the top front of her hood. By the way the Rav 4 took off. Amber thought we would be mad at her because last Summer she hit a car in the Target parking lot in Santa Rose while she was working there for the summer. Just for the record, dad was not mad, mom was just a little mad (at the car that ran off and there was nothing we could do about it). After that Amber was off to Richmond with her "boy" friend for the day, and while she was gone, someone broke into her apt. and stoled most of her stuff. The thief's were a bit dumb because they took her portable DVD player but not the cord, and they took her friends new Ipod, but not the plug. They also took Amber's lap top, her new mini Ipod that she just got for graduation, and I'm not sure what else. They didn't take the big TV, so that was good. It will be awhile before we can replace them for her. Cops did nothing because we didn't have the seral numbers, they didn't even get the fingerprints.(that was frustrating). Then the next morning, Amber's little turtle died. To try and cheer Amber up, I told her things always happen in 3's so she is good for awhile. I'm not sure if that helped.
