May be a different angle will help. The "black stuff" goes clear up into the garage.

Does that help?

Can you sense the disaster coming? Keep guessing....

So, if you didn't guess, it is the glass from my back Rear Access Door. How did this happen??????????????? Actually I know exactly how it happened because I did it. I found the most incredible deal on Craig's list to get Bailey a new twin bed for $30 for the set. YEAH!!!! She will be 4 in just under a month and is still in a toddler bed. I got her all excited about getting a new bed for her birthday. Josh was still out of town and I wanted to do this to surprise him as well. We picked it up, but it didn't fit in the car without leaving that Rear Access Door open.

When I got home I am thinking, "I don't want to carry the bed all the way across the drive way so I will pull in close enough so I just have to carry it straight into the house from there."

That was until.....................................................

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

CRUNCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXPLOSION OF GLASS

EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It came crashing clear up to the driver's seat. The kids were screaming. What could I do? What would you do? Well, I jumped out of the car with cell phone in hand. Yes, I had just crashed the Rear Access Door right into the house. I was already calling Josh; by the time Josh could pick up the other end I was already bawling. All I could say through these sobbing tears was, "I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry!" He just responds, "Honey, what are you sorry for?" Then I have to tell him the whole story because he didn't even know about the bed.

I have the best husband in the whole world. He calms me down, best he can from 200 miles away and says, "Oh, babe, You are safe; The kids are safe; No one got hurt, No one is in the hospital; Just don't worry about it." Really, is that all? Well, I tried to tell him it was much easier said than done to "Not worry about it".

I had Lexi take the kids upstairs and put a movie on. Thankfully they were very cooperative and patient. I spent the next hour sweeping up the mess, just bawling and sobbing. My eyes were now swollen. I couldn't see the glass any more because it was dark. I walked two doors down to our friends, the Williams, house and asked if I could borrow their flood light. He obviously noticed something was drastically wrong so he came running with the light.

Josh Williams (last name listed as to not confuse you with my Josh) spent the next hour hour vacuuming up all the glass with me. I should have taken a picture of the top of the car - The entire thing was just covered in this shattered glass. As the time past I was laughing just trying not to stress about it. I think Josh was surprised. He told me that I was definitely being positive about the situation. I was cleaning clear up until 8:30 or so. It was just crazy.

Josh Williams even helped me cover and tape up the back hatch so we could make it to church today. They are a very religious family themselves and he wanted to make sure we could go to church too. How nice is that????

So, are you asking yourself yet, what the house looks like???

Fortunately that isn't too bad. Josh Williams knows exactly how to fix that so he said he would help me. Again, how nice is that?????

So, my best bed purchase ever will end up being the most expensive one I have ever made when all costs of repairs and time invested are added up. Oh well, what can I do now?????

I just have to smile and know that I made a stupid mistake that I will NEVER make again!
