Car accidents

I have only been in three Car accidents since I have got my license 20 years ago. Two of them was only minor damage and the third was quite a bit of damage to the minivan I was driving, but it wasn't a jarring crash. Yes I hurt alittle but not enough to interrupt my life. I got in a car accident today that scared me and the kids. It was kinda like being hit by a train.I did not see the truck pulling out of a driveway till it was hitting me. My poor drama queen got the most impact of the crash. Thank god I was not going too fast and the glass in my car did not break. I was driving westbound though middle of my town when a teenager in a big black Chevy truck backed out of his driveway and t-boned my little Mazda. He hit us hard enough to push me into the eastbound lane facing traffic.We were so lucky there was no cars coming or the accident would have been so much worse. I was so worried about the kids. Charming boy was in the back seat, he did not feel a lot of the impact. Drama queen did. I felt so bad for her she was crying. She could not open her door so she had to crawl over the seat to get out. The was a nice lady that stopped traffic for us till the police arrived. We where all pretty shook up. I was really pissed. The guy who hit us admitted to the police that he did not see me, maybe it was the fact that his big ass Chevy had dark tinted widows and a huge Chevy emblem on his rear window. The police gave him a ticket and informed me that his insurance should cover everything. Its the pain and suffering I am concerned about.I am so pissed I hurt all over, and I know the blue book value of my car isn't very much so I don't know how much I will get for my car. Yes I am relived that we are not hurt real bad. It could have been so much worse. There was no blood involved just lots of xrays. I also forgot to tell handsome man what hospital we went to. He was so worried. My best friend M took us to the hospital so he finally got a hold of her. He showed up at the hospital right as we getting released. I felt even worse then because he was late to work because of us. Well its getting late and the meds that the nice doctor gave me are started to really take effect. I will write more as my drama of life unfolds.

Well another month has past in the freezing hell that I call home. We just had a snow storm that canceled things. I know I should not be so negative about where I live but I really don't cold weather. Since my outing was canceled for today, I decided to do so laundry and just "pardon my pun" Chill out at home. I was informed by my loving husband who spend four hours outside playing with his snow blower, that someone needed to go out to the side of our house and un bury the dryer vent. I decided I would go do it. The snow did not look so deep, Oh how wrong I was. I made it past the Truck and car and the snow was up to my knees. I decided I was already outside I might as well just keep going around the house to the side yard. After many curses from me, and a good fall in the snow I made it the side patio. I dug out the vent, which took some effort because of the angle of the steps and the snow level. I was cold, wet and incredible pissed by then. I walked to the edge of the patio and knocked on the window to get someones attention. Of course That took some time because no one thought to check on me. I could have froze to death ha ha. Eventually My husband let me in the side door. I don't know what I was thinking and I won't be digging anything out again. I guess I will be home bound till the snow melts. I think the only one that truly enjoys the snow would be our polor bear of a dog. Jazz just loves the snow and cold. The kids went out later in the afternoon and started to make a Totoro in the snow. You can look it up, its Anime . Drama Queen came in and said they were throwing snow at Jazz and she was catching it. Where as the little dogs start shakin as soon as I get close to the door to let them out. I am hoping that the Damn Groundhog was wrong last week and spring comes early this year for the sake of the little dogs if not for me.
