What a night!

[cpbaby]

I aint never in my life. <shakes head>


There I was, putting water on to boil for spaghetti and BOOM, something went crash in my son's room. I thought his shelf fell off the wall with everything on it, but when I went to look, it was still on the wall. My Dh asked me if the ceiling fell in, I said no, I cant figure it out. My son was in the shower but the noise got him out, so he came to look too. Here we all go(me, my DH, my 11 yr old son in his boxers and my 1 yr old was under her daddys arm) looking out in the garage. Nope, nothing there. So we all troup back into my son's room to check the ceiling in the closet. Before we opent he closet door, I notice the sheetrock has seperated from the studs.

WTF? My Dh goes OFF "Somebody has hit the house!", hands the baby to the 11 yr old and here we (me and him) go outside, in 30 degree weather, with no coats and me with no shoes. I swear and bedamned if there arent ruts in my yard, my HUGE bush is FLAT and my house is mashed.

I go next door(still barefoot) and knock on the back door to ask WHO JUST LEFT? They tell me Adam and I tell them that HE HIT MY HOUSE. I go home and call 911. They start asking me questions like Adam WHO? and What kind of vehicle? I have NO CLUE. So I tell them that I will call them back and go next door to get this information. When I go back over there, the boy that lives there and his gf are scrambling around getting clothes on and "stuff". The boy asked, ok BEGGED me to not call the cops because Adam is on probation and will go to jail. PLUS they have no homeowners insurance. Too late, by the time I leave to go call my older son(at my moms) to get Adams last name, there are three police cars there. They are in SHOCK at the outside of my house, then we go inside. All three of the police are speechless at the sight of my wall.

We go back outside, a gray car pulls up and this little girly gets out. She is this Adams gf and is about 6 months pregnant. She tells the police that she came over because he was driving her car when he hit the bush. (thats what he told her, he hit a bush. well, according to her) The cop asks where he is, she tells him he is at her apartment babysitting. They FINALLY get her to say where her apartment is and they go get him. He is drunk as Cooter Brown and they take him to jail. She gets on the cell phone, looking at my house, telling whoever she is talking to that "It doesnt look that bad to me". Apparently I start steaming because the nice police lady tells me to not say anything to the pregnant lady. The pregnant girly swears that it was her car that he was in, BUT IT WASNT. I havent a clue what kind of car it was, but I know very well it wasnt that car. That car is shiney and has a spoiler and the one that was next door 15 minutes before this all happened wasnt and didnt. PLUS, if you hit a house with the front corner of your car, odds are its gonna look like it.

So, basically, what is going on is, Adam is going to be charged with DUI, Leaving the scene of an accident, wanton endangerment(cause it was a bedroom) and either criminal mischief or something else, whichever means "on purpose". PLUS someone has to pay for fixing my HOUSE! Which means that I have to take tomorrow off from work and go sit at my insurance company to explain all of this mess. LUCKILY I had new batteries for my digital camera.

Before the police left the police lady came over and told me that his parents wanted to tell me that they are very sorry and will "make it better". Well, if they had raised their child better, maybe this wouldnt have happened!(no flaming, Im just mad right now) Also, no one associated with that house is allowed to speak to us and we arent supposed to bother them. Like thats going to happen.


ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks all.

We are turning it in on our homeowners insurance this morning and letting them take care of it. Our rates will go up, but I see no other way around it. The police lady told me that the pregnant girly's car insurance would pay, but if he was drunk, I bet it doesnt. His parents SAY they will make sure it is taken care of but I cant sit around IN FEBRUARY, WITH A HOLE IN MY WALL and wait. I am going to get some pictures in the daylight this morning and print them off to take to the insurance company with me. My agent will have to give me names for estimates because I dont have a clue.

I guess I will have to redecorate that room. The wallpaper and border was bought on clearance 8 years ago and the paint was a mis-mix at the local paint store that is out of business now. I have no more and no way of getting more.


Poor Nick was so rattled he slept in the living room floor last night.

[miralys]

Wow! What a shock that must have been. I am glad you and the family were not hurt.

[twinkiesmom]

Wow, what a fiasco. So glad that your son was out of the room at the time.

[CatrinaF25]

Holy crap! I wish you the best of luck with getting this mess straigtened out and I hope Adam rots in jail for a while due to his stupidity.

[Tasha405]

Oh gosh, how scary! They could have came right through your house!! I hope you get everything worked out. (((Hugs)))

For one thing, it's just down-right amazing how some parents will not watch their kids, no matter if they are older children. Also, I know that if you think it is a different car that smashed your house, I'm sure you could find it somewhere around that apartment or the police can see run some information and possibly find it. That would definitely get that kid busted anymore. Praise be that none of you were around the room when it was hit and that he didn't hit anothe part of the house!

I am so sorry to hear that your insurance is going to have to pay for it. My friend's car was stolen, and they found who did it, and I think that in the end the guy didn't get charged with anything, but I do know that HER insurance had to pay for it and she had a 500 deductible! I pray that your deductible isn't very high and that it doesnt raise too much either. Insurance is so expensive anymore.
