Jaden and I were taking the back way to the dry cleaners from our house. The road winds back by a subdivision that is still under construction so there are a lot of big trucks pulling in and out all day. As I approached the intersection to the new construction area, a LARGE semi was easing out, I thought he was slowing down to let me pass before pulling out. I was wrong! He either didn't realize how far out he was or how fast he was going....or really didn't care! I swerved and honked and then pulled over when I realized he had stopped behind me. I threw the car in park, jumped out, ran up to the front of his semi and started yelling expletives at him and telling him that I was taking down his information to report his driving (while he just shook his head and threw up his hands), I got back in my car, waited for him to pass so I could get his tag number, once I had the tag number and the name of the company, I passed him and we went on our way to the dry cleaners. Then it hit me.....WHAT WAS THAT?! I don't lose my temper! I can't remember the last time I was that mad! You know the scene on the Incredible Hulk when Bruce Banner gets mad and starts shaking and turns into the the Hulk? That's how I felt! Crazy! I was so glad Jaden didn't hear or see me because I think I would have scared him! =D
Anyway, I called John and told him what happened and gave him the information and he said he'd call in the complaint. I was to the point of being so mad that I would have cried on the phone which is horrible! I don't like crying, in front of people or on the phone with people, especially with people I don't know.
Once I got off the phone with John, I did something sure to make me feel better....we drove to Starbucks! Jaden asked for pumpkin loaf (his fave!) and I told him, "whatever you want honey, we've had a very traumatic morning! " A Latte and pumpkin loaf make everything better! Ahhhhhh!
