Strongly Worded Letter

Apparently that is what I am known for.

It could be because of all of the letters that I write to food chains when my food is not right, and I get sick. It could also be because when I want something done right and right away, the first thing I can think of is a movie I watched where some guy yelled "I am going to write a strongly worded letter!" I don't know the movie, maybe you do.

Anyway, Nick told his family that I was going to write a strongly worded letter to AAA due the the astronomically long wait that we had to endure in the hot sun while waiting for the tow truck to come. Which we are convinced was parked in the lot behind us the entire time we were waiting. Anyway we called at roughly 4:30pm and they kept telling us that we could not get a tow due to where we were located and how close we already were to "home" in NJ. So we decided it would be better if we towed the car to NJ and had Nick's father fix it there. We realized it would be better for everyone if we just separated and got the heck out of there. By 5:30 we should have been out of there, but we were not.

In fact it took them almost another half hour to locate the company that they had supposedly called, and make arrangements for them to pick us up. When the truck materialized from a lot behind us, I was livid, and ready to write my note. I am not sure if I will or not because things worked out well for everyone. The kids didn't have to see their father all night and they were really happy about it. We also won't have to see him all day long today as long as we get out of here on time.

It was crazy, but not as crazy as how the dog reacted when we all got home. Poor thing was locked up for hours waiting for us to get back and was so happy he was not abandoned. poor old man probably thought they had bought the house as his final resting place and were trying to find a way to leave him alone to die. But he is still a big ol' puppy, and it was great to be home.
