It was one of those days. I could have sworn yesterday was a Monday.
The boss borrowed my car as his was in for a service and the other standby bakkie/pickup was also in the shop for work. He went to his appointment and I had noticed he had come back but every time I went to his office to see him there was some one else there and I could not exactly intrude. Eventually I noticed that he had left for another meeting with someone else.
So I just plodded on with my normal day things. When it was time to fetch my little daughter from school I started searching all over for my keys…to cut a long story short, the boss was on the other side of town with my keys in his pocket!
*insert the following emotions; panic, rising Bp, headache, feelings of helplessness*
Anyway, I had to get on with it so, who do you call when you’re in a pickle? Tsk tsk, no not the ”ghost busters!” you call your mom. I called my mom and she came along with her little car and let me just tell you here and now, she hands her car keys over to no one and I am not a good passenger.
So off we went to school with my seventy something mother at the wheel. I might add that she is certainly not scared of putting her foot down on the gas/petrol. Wiping the sweat off my brow I went in and get little one and braced myself for the trip back. Thank heavens eldest and her bf went to pick middle daughter up a little later…
Do you want to hear about the rest of my day? I don’t think so…

Oh hell….thats not so bad. I imagined your car got stolen or smashed by an 18 wheel truck while in the care of your boss. That was a good day compared to how it could have gone. Chin up Ms. Hugger…..here’s a hug for you….
{{{{ Hug!!}}}}
Yes, I quite agree with you, but this was only one event – it was one of those “Murphy’s law” days. I’m smiling about it now, hence the post
*hugs to you too Mr B*
I am pleased you survived. When you post the rest of your day, I shall return to read it as well.
Sounds like a real bad hair day!
lol, it was, but a funny day too
*hugs*
you are one trusting lady! There is no way I’d hand my keys over to anybody I work with. I even struggle handing them to my hubby and daughter
There is a long history with the boss many years worth …
*hugs*
Whoa.. That must have been crazy to not find the keys and then sit as a passenger with mother driving must be nerve-racking! I shudder at the thought of sitting with my mother driving..
It was a bit of a joy ride
*hugs*
That was (not so) funny
You said that perfectly Pussycat
*hugs*
Glad your car is ok. LOL
It is fine thanks
*hugs*
I get it. . . you’re planning your revenge and don’t want to give it away in case the boss reads this. Very crafty. . . ;o)
LOL…:)
*hugs*
Glad that you were able to make a plan to pick up your daughter. And you can always share what happened during your day to us, we’re always willing to listen
Its so nice to have people to tell my stuff too TA
*hugs*
Glad you were able to call on your Mom, but your boss needs to catch a wake-up!
My mom was very willing and the boss gets a little absent minded when he is doing a million things at once
*hugs*
I would have just gotten mom to pick up the little one.
Then again…. let my boss, or anybody for that matter, borrow my car?
Not bloody likely!!!!
Glad you got it sorted though Esperanza – I’m also not the world’s best traveler, so I avoid it like the plague
I don’t like being a passenger too much either ghiatjie
*hugs*
yeah I do
Thanks Nafees
*hugs*
reminds me of driving with my grandfather, he parked by “touch” and would turn into driveways thinking he was turning the corner onto a street. glad you survived the harrowing ride!
Thanks art, in the end I was glad to get home
*hugs*
I hope your boss made it up to you! I’d have had a panic attack of note if I weren’t able to fetch one of the kids – what a horrid feeling – but glad your mom was on hand to save the day!
Shame, yes he did. He was not happy with himself, its not something he would normally do.
*hugs*
Good old Mom! Hey what`s wrong with 70+ drivers????? ;-0
Absolutely nothing wrong with 70 plus drivers, its just my mom thinks she’s Michael Schumaker
*hugs*
LOL
Oh no that can be hair raising if your not a good passenger… just been in Boksburg in that traffic… it would never happen if I wasn’t in the drivers seat…
It was a little hair raising, Bulldog
*hugs*
We have a spare set hidden on the truck just in case my hubby loses the set that has the long chain of key chains that are hazardous to the ignition are lost. (My grand daughter used to give them to me for Christmas) hubby still loses them on a regular basis… when reading I also thought he was avoiding you cause he had a few scratches on the car he did not want to tell you about…. phew…hope you get your keys back.
All is well now, thanks Tammy I need to organize myself a set of spare keys.
*hugs*
Hubby does not know that I have two…due to his condition, PTSD I have to lol
In time, life has a tendency of organizing us a bit… hope that today is a bright and sunny day for you at least on the inside…even if you are carrying an umbrella.
Thank you so much Tammy
*hugs*
So glad we are not alone in our “One of those days” moments – I am sure your week will get better, it has too. tomorrow is FRIDAY! Blessings – Patty
I am so glad to morrow is Friday
*hugs*
Another grand adventure as we navigate the roads of this topsy turvy world. I don’t hand my car keys over to anyone (outside my family). I even avoid places that only have valet parking so I don’t have to give them my keys. Could be a trust issue. Could be a control issue. Could just be that I’m silly. *Hugs!* Feel like you might need some of those from us today, and it’s the least we can do after all you’ve doled out.
Aw, thanks for those hugs dj, they do help a whole lot
*hugs*
Two Mondays in one week is enough for anyone. Moving on…!
True that…:)
*hugs*
I hope you gave your mom a BIG hug! xxx
She’s not a hug person but I did thank her
*hugs*
It’s always the little things that make the difference. Hope the little things got better for you.
True that, doran and they did
*Hugs*
Oh my,,, yes, that is a great Monday story!!!! thank goodness for your mom, and I hope your boss treats you to lunch after that!
Thank you Sally I was sp grateful that my mom could help and the boss did make it up to me
*Hugs*
Once those type of days start, they can just continue in a spiral unless you can get hold of them.
Sorry for it for you,
Scott
Its ok Scott, the day has past now and all is well
*hugs*
