It's a Bum"per" of a Car Accident

The week before I left for Boston for work I was heading to my woman's group, while sitting at a red light I happened to be looking in my rear view mirror. Ok I admit it I'm a people watcher and watch people behind me. I watched as the car behind me was sitting to see the car behind him no slowing down. This on a good side allowed me to warn the boys we were about to get hit but I also tensed up ... ugh. At first I was fine, or so I thought. My neck felt a little sore like I needed to pop it.  Sitting an hour and a half in the cold for the policeman was no fun. The turd that hit the car behind me actually took off, thank God for my husband who hoped in his truck and followed him. My husband was able to take the police right to him. The kid had no insurance ... grr just got a no insurance ticket for $500. 

YUP this left me with a need for a new bumper and as days went by a stiffer neck and back. Who would have thunk a little bump could case so much damage.  So I will be heading to the chiropractor and a massage therapist. God's way of telling me to slow down and take some time for myself. NOW to just get over the headache's that come when I get adjusted ... ugh.

Looked like a simple fix but turns out a whole new bumper!

Boys wanted to keep the rental car :)

Hope your week is going better :)

Help I've fallen and can't get up

Ok I guess I could get up but once my feet reached the ground I couldn't move and had to scream for Rick to help me. Not sure what the heck happen to me but I woke up with the WORST pain literally in my butt. And this time its not one of the kids ... go figure I finally got what I've been complaining about for years a PAIN IN THE BUTT, I know I'm so lucky. So lucky that when I put my feet on the ground, which let me tell you was a chore, I got a shooting pain that ran down my leg. At this point I start screaming for Rick who actually got right out of bed. Well there went that theory that if the house was burning down I couldn't get him to wake up, but it did prove my 2nd theory that he chooses to ignore me most mornings! So 1 for 2 not so bad of odds, right? After being so gently pushed back on to the death trap aka my bed, I lay there in agony waiting for the pain to leave. Of course it doesn't so plan 2 is hot water in the shower. Now I must give Rick HUGE Kudos he actually got me undressed and started the shower and stood there in case I needed him. Nope you didn't read that wrong, the boy actually was extremely helpful and get this he turned off the shower ... don't fall off your chair on this one he dried me off!! I know I couldn't believe it either, but at the time all I could think about was standing naked there. I know were married but gravity oh so much nicer when your laying down then when your standing, 2 kids and the old body was not my friend! So after that he half carried me to the couch, pre-babies he could have swung me over his shoulder not so much these days! Enough about that hold on to your hats ladies he was full of surprises today! He actually got breakfast for Roy, got Cole dressed and with a little help even got the baby dressed. He then loaded everyone in the car and took them to the morning destinations! Did I mention not even complaining once! I'm not sure who this new man is, but I'm so keeping him! No returns or refunds needed here!

Perched on my couch in my warm front room since he even turned the heater on for me. I tried to find the spot that hurt the least. Since no pain was not an option I looked for the path with lease resistance! When Rick returned he even brought me breakfast, ok it was a totally greasy breakfast sandwich but hey at least he tried and at this point I'm not going to complain. So here I am a few hours later feeling better but still moving like a turtle or an injured rat that got her leg caught in a trap (sorry couldn't resist). I broke down and called my mommy, thankfully she's still on strike. Not I'm sure thankful for her that she's still on strike but I'm thankful since I could call her and beg for help. She even called the chiro and made the appointment for me, she's coming to pick me up here in an hour. I love mommies, don't the rock! So I'll post now but hopefully I'll be non-broken later and can post again to tell you how much fun I'm having!

Broken signing off for now! Pray the doc can put humpty back together or at least with a little glue just be cracked. =D
