Blow Out

I had an experience this weekend that I hope that I NEVER have again! I was driving on the freeway with Noah and Leah, and all of a sudden my steering wheel was very stiff. I knew something was wrong, so I got in the far right lane, and as soon as I got there my car started to slow down and I could barely steer the car. I steered my car to the side of the freeway and I got as close to the barrier as possible. I peeked out my passenger door and saw that my tire had blown out! I was so scared and I just started to panic...I was terrified! The cars passing were so close and I thought that I was going to die every time that a semi-truck passed me! I was pulled over at a curve in the road, so I was so nervous that the cars/trucks wouldn't see me! So, while I was in panic mode, I called Doug, who was on his lunch break {thank goodness}, and told him what was going on and he told me that he would be right there. It took him about 20 minutes to get there, and I must say that was the longest 20 minutes of my life! Noah and Leah were screaming and crying the entire time and I couldn't do much to calm them down...plus the cars that were passing me were freakin' me out! I was so happy once Doug got there to rescue us! After evaluating the situation, he decided to move us from my car to his car and then get us off of the freeway, since it was so dangerous. Once we got off of the freeway, we called to have my car towed so that we could get the tire replaced. I cannot tell you how relieved I was to get off of the freeway and be somewhere safe with my babies! I seriously cannot put into words how scared this whole experience was, and I hope that I NEVER have to experience it again! Sorry to ramble on and on...I guess I just needed to vent :).

While we were waiting for my car to be towed, we went to 7-11 and got Slurpees. We were feeling very generous, so Noah got his own banana Slurpee! He was in heaven {see his happy face in picture #2}!!!

Here's the damage...SCARY!!!
