I've done too many to list, but one that stands out happened over a year ago! Laziness almost caused this little incident!

So my little Mazda is a stick shift...and it was parked in the garage but for some reason I needed to move it a little out of the garage. I don't remember why, but I just needed to move it. Well, DD was taking a nap and DH was working that Saturday. So instead of going inside, getting my keys, starting the car and driving it back, I had the brilliant idea that since it's a stick, I'll just put it in Nuetral and push it. WRONG!!!!!!! Oh, and I'm barefoot too. I start to push it and it's slowly rolling backwards, well then there is a little 'step' from the garage to the driveway and the car QUICKLY gains momentum and REALLY starts rolling down the driveway!!! I do my best Dukes of Hazzard impression and quickly open the door (OK, so not EXACTLY like DoH, I don't think I would be alive today if I tried that!!!) and try to jump in to stop the car from rolling out into the street right into our neighbor's driveway where his new $35K truck is parked!!!! I barely was able to jump in without running over my leg & foot and quickly put on the brakes just in time!! I was laughing so hard and my heart was racing!!! Then afterwards I got to thinking, OMG, I could have just ran myself over and NO ONE would be there to help me as I lay pinned (squished) underneath my car!!! I called DH and told him about it when I went back inside and his reaction "Well, that was a dumb dumb!!" So, moral of the story...don't be a lazya$$ like me, go get the keys!!
