Today was our day to get things hammered out on the house deal. Exciting day.
Adrian and the boys woke up early and grabbed some hotel Continental Breakfast while Isabella and I slept. Adrian came back with a plate for me...a lone waffle...they were out of bacon. That was my first clue today was going to be a BAAAAAAD day.
Around 10 am we got a phone call from the front desk letting us know our vehicle had been broken into. Adrian ran outside to survey the damage. It was a smash and grab and one of the windows was broken out. His Zune and other things we expected to be gone were there, but the punks had stolen a $120 Nine West bag I had (stupidly) left crammed up under the dashboard on the passenger side.
Joke's on those fuckers because the expensive bag they thought they got was actually a DIAPER BAG (and I got it at Ross for twenty bucks). The contents included diapers, wipes, a diaper pad/diaper change organizer, hand sanitizer, a cheap umbrella, a baby sunhat, band-aids, and a Mariposa Barbie. ENJOY!!
Unfortunately, the contents also apparently included the keys to the other vehicle we drove down here in (and the one in which most of our luggage is now being held ransom).
We are now going to have to replace the window in the car that was broken into and get a new key for the lock and ignition of the other car. None of these things can be done until Monday apparently. Everyone in Killeen is either so busy they couldn't possibly do it this weekend or they simply don't work on the weekends. WTF?!?!
I could detail a long list of reasons why this is a catastrophe and how this all messes up the things we need to do (and it does mess up many, many things) but at this point it seems like the problems we encounter are so ridiculous they border on hilarious. HUGE, unsurmountable problems don't typically happen to us. Instead many, many small stupid things conjoin to punch us the metaphorical weiner.
So we are still in the hotel. Rotating a small amount of clothes, many of which are dirty now. Ordering out Chinese food now that the last of the sandwich fixing are gone. If we get out of this hotel and into a place to live without having to spend a million dollars it will be a miracle.
A couple fun little factoids:
This is the first time a car has been broken into at our hotel.
Our hotel is nice and luxurious and has a great free breakfast but apparently DOES NOT have typical security features like security cameras.
The last (and only other) time we had a car broken into, it was the same make and model as this one. Same color too.
And that time the theives got away with some CDs and a bag full of kids' books and construction paper cut outs.
I think the winner of the White Trash Problem Awards is...ME!
