TGIF NOT

What a day.  Work is/was/will be crazy.  I'm on call this weekend.  Even though it was hectic and insane today, I loved it.  I like the energy of a really hectic day.  Working at a therapeutic boarding school is still a little new, but I love it.  Then, I get a call from the sheriff.  Asking me my address, name, and if I know anything about a 98 Subaru..........................  and that he's at my house now, wanting to talk with me about a hit and run accident.   WTF?  Turns out my daughter, who was supposed to drive right to her dad's house, decided to take a little detour to Barnes and Noble/ Starbucks.  While backing out of the parking spot, she scraped/bumped the car (empty) next to her.  Some good Samaritan saw all of this and took down her license plate #.  Yay for them.  >: /       I mean, I'm glad she is being held accountable, but wow is this an expensive lesson to learn.  She didn't think there was that much damage, and left the "scene".  Her dad took her back and talked with the sheriff, and now we have a court date, plus a hefty fine I'm sure, and also a nice repair bill for the car that was parked by hers.  At least the owner seemed pretty chill about it all.  He is going to get an estimate and then let us write him a check.  I hope it all works out.  I'm glad no one was hurt.  But I am still pretty mad.  She gets to pay us back after we pay the fine and the repair costs.  She also will be turning over her iPhone and getting my old cell phone instead.  I was going to ground her, but she never goes anywhere.  She usually drives to work and school.  That's it.  So grounding her really wouldn't teach much.  But turning over her paychecks and phone will at least be a start.  You don't get to have nice expensive toys when you have a debt to pay.  We are also hope full that when the court date arrives, we can maybe get the fine dropped since it happened in a parking lot, with an empty car, and no one was hurt.  Maybe they will also let her do some community service to pay some of the debt.  Fingers are crossed.  And toes.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
