What a Week!

So I know that mentioned I would have some snow photos/videos from our awesome trip. We had a (everyone is ok) little accident on Monday that threw me for a loop. I was taking the kids for lunch and then to the park when a guy ran a red light going about 35 mph and ran right into my door. Fortunately I "had" a very reliable and safe vehicle which, although totaled, kept the kids and me safe. My head hit the window and other than some minor head pain this week I escaped mostly pain free. Thank God! We DEFINITELY had our share of angels to keep us safe. Obviously the incident brought up a lot with my sister/brother's accident as well as my mom not being here. Then I struggled with feeling as though the accident was my fault. I couldn't remember all the details and doubted myself since I had the kids in the car. I don't know what I would do if something would have happened to them. I don't know how my mom managed for so long. They were all with us on Monday though. The accident didn't traumatize the kids but it certainly scared them. Noah has been very clingy with his "I love you's" as well as his hugs. He told me tonight that he was scared of the truck that hit us. :o( They both tell people that my car is at the doctor being fixed. They remember the firemen getting their car seats out of the car and putting them in daddy's car, too. Hopefully it will quickly pass. I had the kids checked by my chiropractor and she didn't see any issues so that was a big relief. I will have my neck/back scanned in two weeks to compare it to this week's scans and I'm hoping all remains healthy.





So... with all of that out of the way, I happened to find a woman on Craigslist who was selling 5 preschool board games for $5. I only paid attention to a few of the titles and thought for $5 - how can I turn it down! So I picked them up today after I had picked up the accident report from the police station. I got home and started to go through the games only to notice one game is called, "Let's Go To McDonald's". Nothing too exciting about that except that is where I was headed with the kids the day we had our accident. It also says, "Anything can happen on your way." Umm... FREAKY!!





Another weird happening was the day of the accident. Kevin took me to the doctor to have my noggin checked. On our way home, he stopped to get some food since I hadn't eaten anything and it was already 3pm. As we pulled into our driveway with KFC in hand, I happened to remember back to Kevin's car accident - which was about 6 years ago. He was on his way home from picking up KFC when a lady ran a red light and smashed right into him. (It was a block from my accident.) We obviously didn't get to eat our KFC that night since I took him to the ER to be checked. How weird that we ended up with KFC all these years later and after another accident.





So, here are a couple of snow pics. There are more on the Kodak site and I will be uploading snow videos this weekend. Again, we are all doing well and are bracing for the "buying a new car" process as well as dealing with the other guy's insurance company. He was in a company vehicle so hopefully it will be a smooth deal. Take care and we are sending extra hugs this week!
