Focus

I was backing this
And I was looking at this

When I should have been looking at this
And I did this
And this
It made me feel like this
even though Dirk assured me "things like that just happen", "those things can always be fixed". Note: I hit Dirk's truck!

There's a story in here somewhere about focusing on the wrong things...even the good things, and you see where it got me.


Oh, God, may our focus never be on anything but You.


I'm just glad I didn't back into this!

  1. Ooo... girl that is GOOD!

    Our husbands are alot alike. I ran into a pole sticking out at gymnicetics and scratched it ALL the way down the side of my NEW truck (I didn't think to STOP)! My husband said, "no problem!" I would have probably lost it if he had done it. :O)

  9. Haha! That's funny! Did you try to blame it on Jacob?

  10. I asked Garrett if Jacob was late last night and he asked why and I showed this to him. He laughed and laughed. Boys sure do like poop.

  11. awe mama meadows :) don't feel like poop! Like dad said, these things happen... That's why we have insurance :) but after you get a quote give me a call so I can tell you if you will be surcharged for it or not... And I love you! I saw that you had my name as Pirtle-Meadows! It made me smile :)

  12. That is the cutest post. I am sorry about the dents but your husband is right. It is only a thing.

    "Oh, God, may our focus never be on anything but You." And if by chance I get dented when I lose focus thank you for repairing my dents. :)

  16. Thanks, guys, for your sympathy and kind words.
    Abbi-google images always comes through...it was pretty funny deciding what word to enter in the search box!
    Kim - always happy to oblige! ; )
    Katie-what are you saying? :)
    Ali - happened last night when I was taking Kody to NW campus and meeting your dad for a motorcycle ride
    Brittney-it was Dirk's truck I hit. The Meadows' carry only liability....I think that's one reason this hurts so badly...I'd much rather spend that $$ on something besides vehicle repairs!

    I loved your picture story.
