Stepping Back

This morning while I was on my way to drop Emberly off at day care, I had this lady in a huge SUV tailgating me. She then cut someone off to change lanes, proceeded to drive 90 mph just to swerve, cut me off, and almost cause an accident, just to get off at the same exit. (Note: I was actually doing about 5 mph over the speed limit, so it’s not like I was driving like a grandma.) Then when we stopped at the red light on the offramp, she looked to her right and then turned left and ran the red light. On a left turn! She could have gotten herself, her kids that were in the car with her, or someone else killed. The light turned green about 10 seconds later and as I turned, I saw her swerve into the McDonald’s drive through. You know, because it was 7:09 and they stop serving McBreakfast at exactly 7:10, right?

Things like that really frustrate me. Mostly because I try to obey laws & show other people common courtesy. The whole “treat others as you would like to be treated” thing.

I got so angry, I wanted to pull in, get out of the car, and rip her a new one. But what kind of example is that setting for my own kid? My words would go in one ear and out the other, and she’ll get back on the freeway and drive the same way tomorrow. That’s when I need to take a step back, breathe, and tell myself that karma will get her back somehow…
