Bad luck?

A few weeks ago I had the unfortunate opportunity to have an accident in Dallas jeep. You can see photos of it here if you forgot how lovely it was. Well, I didn't forget about the accident. I have felt horrible about it. Probably because I have had a sore muscle in the middle of my back. I have been seen by a doc but basically I just had to wait it out.

To make things even worse Dallas and I have been one car short. While that isn't a big deal and I know LOTS of people that go with only one car, we are not one of them. We are at a million appointments and are gone at least 2 time a week for therapy for Ty. Which means that Dallas either has to miss work/work from home or we have to get a rental. We were ecstatic to be able to get Dallas jeep back on Thursday. We had picked it up the week before but it had some problems so it went back. BUT the pick up day was Thursday.

Early Thursday morning we headed into Mesa/ Chandler to pick it up. Dallas headed into Scottsdale while I headed back into Mesa for speech. We were driving along minding our own business and even going under the speed limit. ( refer to above problem with accidents and how I have been super scared and cautious.) All of a sudden BAMMMMMM! We hit a car. My air bag deploys and smoke is everywhere.

I freak out. I can't see. The force of hitting the air bags has caused my glasses to get knocked off my face. I made a screaming noise and it caused Tyler to cry. So instead of him being fine he was screaming.

The person behind me jumps out of her car and opens his door and my door to check on us. Ty freaks cause he doesn't want to go with her. She tells me that the ambulance is on their way. I pick up my phone from my pocket and called Dallas to come and get us. I am sure at the time of the call he thought bad words but he got there and tried to take Dallas while the fire department looked us over.

While we declined treatment at the hospital we had to get checked out by our family docs. I went to the chiropractor and got Tyler in to see his sweet pediatrician. I went to our family doc this morning. The only injury OTHER THAN MY PRIDE is a small burn and large bruising on my arm that is amazingly much better today than yesterday. Very sore muscles other Wise known as whip lash and I have a seat belt burn on my stomach.

The good news. Nobody was seriously injured. I didn't get a ticket. The other guy turned in front of me. We didn't' have time to stop. His insurance company has excepted all responsibility in the accident and will be fixing or totalling out my vehicle. They will be paying for the medical expenses and some amazing chiropractic care.

The bad news. We are back to one car. I have a rental for now but it will go back tomorrow since we are leaving the state.

In other bad news, I think the itouch is in the back seat on the floor I can't find it anywhere in the house and that was the last place it was used.

The good news. Dallas has a testing phone we could potentially use to save my sanity on the airplane tomorrow.

If we wanted to start listing our bad luck.... well I think I might win. BOOOOO
