What Was I THINKING?

Yesterday we went to St. George because Shane had to take the life insurance test again. We decided to take Brody and that is where things started to get interesting. When we got there I needed to feed him so Shane parked in the parking garage to give me a little more shelter to hide me from the public. It was hot so I had the air conditioner running. Well, the battery started to die and I realized that I hadn't actually started the car. I hurried and turned it off but it was too late. The car wouldn't start. We went inside the building and hung out in the lobby of the building until Shane got done. It wasn't very fun considering the alternative which was shopping. Sadly I had messed that one up. While we were sitting there I said a quick prayer that we would be able to find someone that could help us and I wasn't too worried and stayed pretty calm because I knew Shane would know what to do. He came out and I said, "Guess what I did. Have you ever had a moment where you think Oh My Gosh What Was I Thinking? Well I had one while you were in Taking the test." He thought I got into a fender bender but then he thought that I wouldn't be there if that was the case. I asked, "Your Aunt lives in St. George right?" Luckily she did so we called her and she sent Shane's cousin over with his truck to jump start our car. The bad thing was that our car was in the parking garage where we had parked next to a pillar and had cars on both sides of us. They just put the car in neutral and backed it into the empty space behind us. We got our car started just fine and the rest of the trip went great. Shane knew it wasn't a big deal and he was really patient with me. I'm very thankful for that. I feel like for having a baby just barely over 4 weeks ago and my hormones still making me crazy, I handled things pretty well. When someone saw us pushing the car back they made a comment of, "Looks like a Pontiac." That was the one comment that bothered me because this is the only problem I've had with my car and it was totally my fault. I was more embarrassed than anything that I let something so stupid happen.

Don't be so hard on yourself...accidents happen. I'm glad you could go into the building with Brody to get out of the heat. That it too bad that you didn't get to go shopping.
