"Uhm, I think my tire just fell off..."

Monday's are never good.
We always dread them. 
Only to find out that really, they are just another day
or just how you make them.
Heck, we could start dreading Tuesday's and just because we knew it was Tuesday we would have a bad day. 
Jusss sayin.
Anyways, I am pretty sure I took the trophy for a Bad Monday yesterday.
It started out pretty normal, just working till 4.
All normal stuff at work, ya know.
Nothing bad, nothing amazingly good.
I left work at 4 to head home to grab my sister, Katie, then meet a friend, Kiefer, at coffee. 
Got home.
Left again.
As I am driving my car (sister in passenger seat) my car started making even worse noises than usaul.
{back story: my car always makes weird clunking noises}
but they were worse than ever.
Then as we continued, we hit a bump...and on as i pushed on the gas, I could feel something was up.
the noises got worse.
So, I'm driving, really slowly at this point. . . when. . . 
CRASH, BOOM, BANG, SCRAAAPPPPEEEEE.
*I stopped, thank goodness.*
"I think my tire just fell off."
*looks in side view mirror"
"Yup, it definitely did."
And so, here is my sister and I, stopped in the middle of a busy road, with 3 wheels attatched.
Luckily, my luck was in FULL SWING.
Right as this happened, a nice man stopped his truck and talked to us to make sure we were okay.
Then, literally 30 seconds after this, a cop passed by and stopped to help.
I called my dad, my sister called Kiefer to pick us up, the police man called a tow truck.
Kiefer came.
The tow truck came.
Katie and Kiefer sat in Kiefer's car.
I stood in the 12 degree weather for about an hour.
But, hey, it actually all worked out pretty well.
We had my car towed to my house. . . where it rests.
And nobody was hurt.
Quite a traumatic experience though. . . 
Good thing I took some pictures too, because these are gems. 
Feel free to laugh, I did. 
Bye bye, Priscilla (my car) you were. . . cute.
