I was just the victim of road rage. DD got out of school early today so even though I am home sick, I was picking her up from school and told her I would drive through and getting her lunch. Picked her up with no issues, went to her fave (Jack in the Box) and was heading home. I was in the far right lane and had just crossed the intersection when this car came into my lane. If I didn't slam on my breaks he would have totally hit me. As he was coming over into my lane I did honk the horn because I thought he may have not seen me. Well he just kept going.
So I change lanes so I am not behind him and when the next light came up, I was at least one car ahead of him, but in the next lane over. The light changes and I drive on. The car in the next lane is pretty slow and I will be needing to make a right at the next light, so I signal and change lanes. Remember, the car that cut me off is behind the slow car that I changed lanes in front of.
Now the craziness starts. I can see in my rearview mirror that he is speeding up, and cuts off a few people by zig zagging back and forth so he is right behind me. I now know this isn't gonna be good. I slow up and turn my blinker on since I need to make a turn at the light. He is right on my backside. After I make the turn he comes right up on the side of me and tries to push me into the parked cars. I shall mention that this is a one lane street right infront of the elementry school. I am very concernced since he is in the turn lane and is right by the crossing gaurd lady.
He pulls right in front of me then slams on the breaks. I stop in time though. He starts to drive on and I am hoping this is over since I need to turn into my track. He passes my street so I turn in, well he flips his car around and comes down the street and passes me. There is a fork in the road and he waits. I go to turn and he proceeds to turn and then cuts me off, puts his car so it is "T" in front of me then gets out of the car.
He comes over to the window and starts yelling at me. When he pulled in front of me I had already grabbed my phone to call 911. He is cursing and saying crazy things. I yell, I am calling the cops. As soon as he gets back in the car he starts off, then flips his car around and then heads straight for me, but turns at the last minute.
When 911 got on the phone he was still standing in the street. I told them what was going on and gave them his license plate number. And was able to describe him. But then they transfered me to the local police. And I had to give them the whole story again. I was pretty shaken since I could almost see my house from where this was all taking place. I explained everything again and the officer was very understanding.
One problem is jurisdiction. I live in an area where 3 cities meet at one intersection. The first cut off was in Cypress, the elementry school incident is Anaheim, but once I turned down the street is was Buena Park. I know its an issue, always is. I could hear it in the officers voice when he asked where this all took place. But I want to say he was understanding and I felt better once I talked to him.
I don't think there is much that will come of it. I told them what I could about the car, the number and his description. I am home safe. I was told that they would do some extra patrol around here though. So thats a good thing.
It was just so scary. Made my sick day at home to not be so relaxing.

Ooh, the exciting life I lead - aren't you jealous?????
Welcome aboard and as for the kid, I am not sure what to do with them. WDW has a pirate cruise and kid activities but I am not sure what you can do with the kid. If she was 16 I would suggest a fake ID.
Love this picture!
! I'm still upset that I missed this years trip, but it was too close to my WDW trip and the baby was still too young to leave with anyone (see still won't eat out of a bottle 
).
