I can’t seem to grasp that life simply just happens…. You literally have no control over what takes place and the reality is why try? It’s going to happen anyways. I guess this is what I am resorting to. You have heard of all our house drama with the clogged pipe, desperate need of a French drain, flooded laundry room, rotten pipe leaking waste, and now this. This morning on my way to Church I smelt gas filling our driveway. It was almost as I walked into a gas chamber with myself, Cooper and the car. I strapped Cooper in his car seat and head out not feeling too concerned as the smell only resided outside at that particular time. When I reached church the smell was incredibly pungent when I stepped outside. A gal who parked behind me even commented on it.
“but why mommy, I don’t understand”
As I was leaving church I received the strong scent killing my brain cells as I stepped towards the car. This time as I was driving down the road, the smell began to fill the entire inside of my car. Who passed out first, Cooper or me? Well thank the good Lord above no one passed out but I must say I had to pull over and call the dealership as I was extremely frightened that my car was going to ignite and scatter us into a million pieces. And to be quite frank, I was extremely light-headed!
Knowing that our car would need to be fixed we didn’t want to make any drastic decisions that our pocketbook would later say “this is no good.” So I put our lives on the line and drove 25 miles to my husbands work to exchange cars while he did some research. Good thing I did because this has been a common problem with thousands out there. We also have a friend who lives in California who works for the same dealership and solidified our concerns. He said we wont blow up into a million pieces but it needs to be fixed very quickly.
It’s extremely weird but the problem only exists when the gas tank is full. Once the fuel level drops, the leak desists. Needless to say, I was thankful to rotate cars as I was concerned for my son but it doesn’t help that my husband now has the problem.
Pray he doesn’t pass out on his drive home tonight. ;)
Moment of Truth: We are alive and didn’t pass out and I live to see my husband and son another day. :) Rejoice in the little things.
