I now hate birds

Today was a normal day. Woke up way late, running around like crazy in the morning, complete chaos. I don't expect anything else! When we got to my parents house, Jake got out as normal and I got Jax out. Jake usually shuts the car door but today he did not. When I asked why, his reply was "mom, I'm lazy today." Fantastic. I figured 5 minutes with the door open wouldn't hurt anything. I got the kids situated and headed off to work. I get to Ingersoll and as I am passing Dahls, I see it. Something moving in the back seat. My first thought, only because I'm a Criminal Minds junkie, was that someone was in the back seat. My mind raced to figure out what I could use to smash into the perps face or how I could get to my cell phone with out anyone knowing. A million things raced through my mind in about a second. The light was turning red on 31st and then it happened. A giant black blob raising out of the back seat. The next few seconds happened so fast. I don't even know if the light even turned green, but I did a hard right turn while a bird is flapping around behind me. Yes, a bird. I am sure I looked like a complete moron doing this. I also had my sunroof open and my windows down about half way, so I am sure I turned heads when I screamed bloody murder and started flapping my arms. In that 5 minute period I was at my parents house, for some odd reason, a bird flew in my car. Are you kidding me? I swerve into the Subway parking lot, stood as far away from the tailgate as I could and lifted it. I then backed way up until I saw the thing fly out. It was not my idea of a nice surprise. On the upside, it was not a serial killer. I did check and it did not poop in my car. Of course, this story brightened many peoples day. I guess I am happy to help.

On the upside...Football starts tonight!
