I have most definitely seen better days than today! It started out as a normal day today. I took Ethan to school this morning, went running, and picked up lunch for my mother-in-law who was back at our house taking care of the twins. I was driving along when a car coming out of a neighborhood on the right pulls out in front of me. I instantly knew that we were going to crash into eachother, so I honked and before I knew it, my car slammed into his at 45 mph. After both of the airbags exploded I realized I was still going. I steered off to the left towards a brick wall and once the car stopped I sat their shaking, completely hysterical. Ambulances and police came and got the man out of his car which had flipped on it's side. Eric came 10 minutes later and helped calm me down. They gave the man a citation for failing to yield. Even though it was his fault I still kind of felt sorry for the old guy. I mean, he was trapped in his car probably scared out of his mind. Thank God for seatbelts and airbags and I'm so lucky the kids weren't in the car with me.

I escaped with only cuts, bruises, and burns from the airbag and seatbelt. We took pictures for insurance purposes. Above is a cartoonish looking knot that popped up on the outside of my arm.

Ouch! That's a burn from the airbag. That's really going to hurt tomorrow!

More airbag and seatbelt burns.

Me looking pathetic after my miserable afternoon! I forgot to mention that the wreck happened in Sun City, a retirement community. After it happened, it seemed like the whole neighborhood shuffled out with their canes to see the action. I told my Papa about this and he joked that this was probably the most excitement they've had in months! Thanks Papa for always making me laugh...especially in times of distress! I'll update later on the status of the poor car. I'm going to go slather myself in Neosporin now.
