Hello Readers! I’m back with this week’s edition of “What’s Up in Odenville”.  

 

I recently became to mom to two teen drivers as the same time. It’s scary enough with one, but two is a heart attack waiting to happen. I imagine all sorts of horrible scenarios in which they are in accidents, because what mom doesn’t?

The hubz and I took an anniversary trip and left instructions for the kids to drive only to and from work/school while we were gone.I got a phone call from the oldest of the two crying hysterically. I appears on the way back from taking the garbage to the can (which is just down the driveway mind you), she “tried to avoid hitting the dog” and somehow managed to instead hit…wait for it…the HOUSE. Luckily no damage to the house, but the car looks like it slid down the wall at Talladega. Lord help us. I can see I’m going to need to invest in some Calgon.

Let’s get to the news.
