Sooner or Later…

This should fill the definition nicely.

• 6:15 am Leaving for work, DH finds that both left side tires on oldest son’s car are flat, looks at family van to see that both left side tires are flat.  These were parked next to the street as DH is kindly fixing oldest son’s girlfriend’s car so has her car & her brother’s car parked in driveway.
• 6:20 am Returns to tell night-owl son and sleeping wife the joyful news.  Advises son to try to air tires–hopefully it was just a prank.
• 6:30 am Almost awake mom tells son that if they won’t air up and were punctured to come inside and she will call police.
• 6:45 am Mom calls police to tell of vandalism to two cars.  Dispatcher takes address and reports it might be a few minutes before the officer arrives as she is number 6 on the list–with the same complaint.
• 7:00ish  Officer arrives politely tell Mom how to fill out form.  Mom points out that we are across from a bank drive through and perhaps the cameras might have caught something.  Officer hopes so and mentions he passed many cars with flats that were not reported yet as most people are still asleep early Saturday morning.
• 9:00 ish Oldest son is still changing tires on his car.  An older gentleman stops and asks if he needs a ride to get tires.  Also mentions that he was #12 on the list–his truck has 3 flats and was parked in the driveway.  Older gentleman is glad they left his wife’s car alone.
• 7:00 pm Mom goes to store where stock-boy friend says he heard it was 40 cars.
• Next morning (Sunday) talk to oldest son who works with wife of aforementioned officer.  Wife said the tire count was 150.
• 10:00 Go to neighboring town 30 miles away to purchase 2 new tires and have mounted on rims.
• 1:00 Return home and go about putting new tires on family van.
• Spend rest of weekend hoping the offender gets caught and wishing it was possible to give him a good smack up-side of the head.

All this fun after paying a house payments worth of medical bills the last 10 days.  When it rains it pours–and I’d still like to give someone a good smack up-side of the head!
