oops.

"Jared the car got towed. I'm SO sorry!!!"
"It's ok. Do you have a ride home."
"Yeah, Barbie's husband will come get us."
Phone Dies.

So after enrichment I go out to drive Barbie home and I don't see my car where I parked it, but I do see signs there that say, "No Parking. Tow Zone." Barbie asked if I was sure I parked there. I was sure. I couldn't figure out why I parked there when it clearly was a tow zone, but I accepted that I was mindless.
I called Jared and told him, and he was nice about it. Then my phone died so I couldn't talk to him anymore. Barbie's husband was going to come get us, when suddenly I look across the street and realize the parking lot across from where I parked has suddenly turned into houses.
OK I am the biggest idiot! I start running down the street and when I turn the corner I see our car! It's incredible how much alike the sides of church can look, right?
Barbie went with me to get gas and I found Jared's number in my planner. I'm not sure which call was worse, me practically in tears telling him the car got towed, or telling him I'm an idiot and I was driving the car home.
It was a funny night. I couldn't stop laughing. Good thing I have a really patient husband.

Previously that night: I was late picking up Barbie, because I didn't consider the 15 minutes it takes to get out of the building and to the car. I then got lost driving when the street I was supposed to turn on never appeared. I was lost with the gas light on, in the dark, and my phone kept dying. Once I figured out which way I wanted to go I couldn't turn around for 7 blocks because of parks and one way streets. Finally I did make it to enrichment 30 minutes late- missed the lesson, but I was there in time for dinner.
