Not another accident??

Well yes....yet another accident. Last Sunday afternoon after Melo's party we had just dropped Amanda off at the Peculiar Church and were on the way back to get onto 71 hwy. Right in front of Casey's and Flying J. There was a kid stopped at the stop sign on the outer road. A Lady had stopped to let me go by so she could turn onto the outer road. The kid was looking her way and saw her stop and i guess he figured she stopped for him and he didn't even look my way that i saw. He pulled out in front of me and i slammed on the brakes and slid right into him broadside. I hit my head on the sun visor and the CD's i have there cut my head, and was shook up and an instant headache and my neck hurt some. Marcia (my friend from work) had an instant headache also. She was in the passenger seat. Her daughter and granddaughter were in the back....they were both shook up and Dana had twisted a little to do the mother block on her daughter who was behind her in the very back seat hurt from the twisted hit. She is still in pain and her daughter has headaches off and on. Marcia could tell that she put her brakes on cuz her hip and tail bone hurt her the next day. Anyway....the kid tried to tell the police that it was my fault...that i was a MAD woman who came out of nowhere. The police told him that yeah...they could see the 30 foot of tire marks on the highway where i came out of nowhere. The Peculiar police told me he didn't have a very good track record anyway. He has already totaled a camero and gotten several tickets. And now this accident. But the sad thing is...his dad came up to the scene and told him that he guessed that now he would have to give him the Blazer he had just bought (not a new one but new enough) since he wrecked this car. And the police handed the kid the ticket and he huffed and shoved it at his dad....and his dad took it. The kid got into the blazer and left his dad at the scene with the tow truck and as he was turning around he almost got two other cars. The police had to holler at him to put on his seat belt. And i also heard that his dad is going to buy him a Corvet for his graduation.....heaven help us. I am not thinking that he really needs to be rewarded with a car like that at all. but that is my opinion i guess.

I didn't go to the hospital from the scene....i didn't want to go in the ambulance...but i did however go after i got home and sat down for a bit....i was hurting. I went and they took X-rays and everything looked ok. They gave me a pain pill and muscle relaxer and i went home and was out. I am feeling a bit better....i didn't work Monday and i also stayed home Thursday cuz i was hurting a lot....i took my pain pills and muscle relaxers they prescribed for me at the emergency room and don't remember much about thursday at all....i was kinda out of it all day. But i did feel better Friday.

I was at the church most of the week because we had Judgement House this week. If you don't know what that is...its a walk through play depicting the lives of some kids and how their lives go as to whether they choose to follow God or not. It is very moving and takes a lot of work from all of our church body. It is just a great week to be a part of and I really wish all of you would have come to see it. And Amanda i wish you could have been there this Sunday...it was a great sermon and we had 5 baptisms (not sure i spelled that right...) There are 5 more tonight at the Peculiar campus also.

Oh...by the way...did ya look at my ticker at the top????? I haven't weighed this for many many years. WOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I need to find out how to put pictures on here again...i forget how. They will come later...Amanda will be here next month so she can help me do it.

Love you all and God Bless!
