This past Sunday was a typical Sunday until we were heading home from having lunch with some friends. All five of us were in our "family car" chatting and having a good time with each other. Then a lady driving a little black car doesn't see the traffic light we are going through. Our light was green, hers was red. SMASH! She creamed the passengers side which is where Makenna and I were riding. She skimmed the front door but slammed Makenna's door pretty good. When we came to a stop all I could hear was Hayden crying and Makenna screaming, "The door hit me! The door hit me!" Without much thought, I jumped out and opened her door and checked on her and pulled Hayden out to calm him down. It was cold and a little bit rainy out. I was worried about my babies. She hadn't been knocked out but it was evident that she was whip lashed and hit the door with her head. After I made sure the kids and Nate were okay, I sat back in the car with them while Nate handled things outside.
After a couple minutes I realized my neck wasn't feeling so great. It never really feels good. I always have some sort of pain but this was a little more than usual. Long story short, Makenna and I went to the ER in an ambulance to get checked out. A few x-rays and a couple hours later, we were cleared with good health and a prescription for pain (if needed).
We definitely weren't expecting the day to turn out that way but we're all okay and we all came home together and that's what matters. We're able to drive the car until it gets fixed and that's a plus! I guess at this point, all the sicknesses, accidents and extra car maintenance is making me gain a new perspective. Maybe the load will lessen a little soon. Maybe.
