Closest I ever came to wrecking
Wow....... I'll be a mess all damn day after this shit.
I had to get my kids in school today and it is tradition for me to take them on the first day, meet their teachers, see where their classes are, and it is just a little thing we do. My oldest one in school decided he wanted to save me having to deal with his High School so he rode the bus, so all I had was my youngest two.
On our way there, we were doing the talking thing, nerves, so on, you that have kids, know this routine. Out of literally NOWHERE comes this redneck in this red truck and doesn't even bother stopping, slowing down, nothing....... just comes flying out of a side road and rams into this PT Cruiser so hard that it spun him and her in a complete circle and facing back the same way they were headed and off the road.... this was so close to me that I had debree hitting my windshield, the two cars immediately behind her pull off the road to help, there is a van coming up beside me and to keep from ramming the people who had pulled over on the shoulder, he almost hit me on my passenger where my 6 yr old was sitting..... so close that I could have told you what his breath smelled like had our windows been down.
I get up out of the chaos and clear from the flying debree and pull over myself, noticing no one was calling anyone, so I call 911 and get someone out there, and look into my babies faces to see if they are ok, my 10yr old son was just in a tizzy wondering why I was pulling over, but my baby looked horrified, she seen it all. I felt so horrible for her.
This all happened within a matter of seconds, but all I could think of was getting the hell away from that van so it didn't smash my passenger side of my husband's truck where my baby was sitting.... just getting my kids out of harm's way and thru this whole mess......
Someone, somewhere was looking out for me and my kids this morning, I don't know who or what, but somehow we made it thru it, and I STILL am trying to figure out how.......
I have never been so scared and so relieved all at the same time in my entire life. The first day of school is always hard on me because I like my kids with me, and I hate leaving them. Yes, I am aware that those teachers are good, they have been trained and so forth, but I HATE the thought of leaving them with people I don't know, I am weird, I know. But this just made it that much worse on me. My whole day is going to be a fucking mess now......
Sorry, just had to share this. No one around this early in the morning to talk to here. Hubby is sleeping peacefully and I am not waking him up with this.
I guess I have done pretty damn good though, I'll be 40 next week and that's the closest I have ever come to personally having a wreck..... so I guess that's why this is flipping me out so bad.
