never ending story

so the adjuster called friday morning and they are going to total the bmw. now we have to wait for the total loss department to make us "an offer" on what their research says is a fair price.

i'm holding my breath for that! not.

so in the meantime, the adjuster called in a rental car for me at enterprise. there is even an enterprise in c.g., so i'm hopeful. when i get down there, i'm told that they have no compact cars left (?!? to replace a full size bmw 7 series!?!) so they will graciously give me another vehicle in it's stead. on the other end of the spectrum, they give me this honkin big 4x4 titan truck. it's worse to maneuver than the van and gets about 21 feet to the gallon.

this whole thing has just been a nightmare. farmers insurance just sucks, at least for the innocent party. i'm sure their insured has already gotten his check and is merrily on his way. next time i hire an attorney right out of the gate. and they wonder why that happens. . .

on the plus side though, the guy was a legal citizen, had insurance and there were no injuries. i hate to think what would happen if that had not been the case. . .

the truck is approved until tuesday. i'm hoping that means we'll get our fair offer by then. i'm looking forward to having this all behind us.

had the kids this weekend. they are always fun! christopher climbed up in my lap on friday night while i was visiting with annette. i asked him if he was tired. "no, just relaxing" next time i looked down, he was fast asleep. not tired indeed. . .
