uHauls and deer...

so wednesday was a great day, all around... the sun shined, the kids were loving school, i had unpacked all i could until J brought more inthe next uHaul that morning...

erin and rosie and i went to walmart to get a small shelf for our movies to be stored on. then i get a text from him. i had known earlier that he had left my parents at kelowna. the text read:

well i hit a deer. so...truck is dead by the side of the road... tow truck on its way. chuckle.

first of all i was NOT chuckling. erin and i were out loud saying our thoughts. "how on earth? what size was the dear to total a uHaul truck? are you ok? oh my gosh, i hope the truck's insurance covers this. what ELSE could happen in us getting to the coast."

we were not chuckling.

so i texted back, asking the important questions like, 'are you ok? what do we do now?'.
no response.

i'm sure it was only a minute til he responded, but i tell you, did it feel TONS of minutes.
then he texted back.

just kidding. am bored and tired of driving.

i was not impressed.
neither of us were.
so i texted back something like,
'you're a jerk! i can't believe you said that, i was so upset that i just rearended the car in front of me and the guy's yelling at me".

his reponse?

nothing.
absolutely nothing.
i couldnt' believe it. it seemed fairly believable in the city for that to happen to me, don't ya think? we thought it was fairly good.

unreal. no response. sigh.
better luck next time. :)
