and my family again.

On Saturday am, I was involved in a 3 car accident. Some guy just smoked me from behind. The force was hard that it blew out all five back windows, then my car got pushed into oncoming traffic and then was hit head on.

I am counting my lucky stars that I can actually sit here and tell you guys the story. With quite a few bruises and only five stitches, I am doing fine other than my aches and pains that I am feeling. My 5 yo ds is ok to (thank god for that).

Unfortunately, my vehicle is no longer a vehicle. The whole back end of my van was crumpled in and pushed in. The front end - well there is no front end. The paramedics and firemen were all telling me how lucky I was and until I saw the pics that dh took, I now know why. They actually closed down the highway for a few hours due to investigations. Again, thank goodness I had witnesses to testify that the guy just smoked me.

One witness had to pull Owen out of the window and tended to him until dh came - which was only a matter of minutes as he was waiting for me at the car lot.

Sometimes I think I'm a cat working on my nine lives. If you remember a few years back when we were on PCMB - I told you guys the story of our camping trip turn soured - to make the story short - a tree fell on our camper just minutes after we left to get ice cream.

Sorry this is longwinded, but just needed to share - I am ok and I am alive!

Oh, Pat, what an ordeal! I'm so glad you and Owen are ok. You may have those aches and pains for awhile, though, as often that kind of blow can really mess up your back and neck. Thank God someone continues to watch over you and your family!

Thanks for all your well wishes. I am sure things happen for a reason - haha, this might give mrs moo something to think about when I'm not in the office. Mrs Moo is my god awful boss that I told you guys about a few months back. We just seem to have the worst luck ever!

I will keep you guys posted. It's only day 2. I've been told that it takes about a week before any real symptoms come up.

Oh, my - I'm so glad you have extra special guardian angels at your side.
Did the dude vanish before the police got there?! How rude on top of being a jerk!
