What a day!!!!

Yesterday morning Zander and I were in a car accident, a pretty bad one. My car is most likely totalled, I had to go to the hospital in a stupid ambulance..... all right in front of my office of course! We were on our way into the office to get a little work done, but I decided to go to circle K and grab a coke first... this was my big mistake! not 100 feet from my office is a stop light, it was red, and I stopped with 5 or 6 cars in front of me. I was looking at Zander, and we were singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs when BAM!!! A truck slammed into me from behind and pushed me into the suburban in front of us. We were showered in glass, I had a case of water in the back and waters went everywhere. Zander's bucket of toys popped up and flew all over the car, my secret weapon for keeping Zander happy on drives, cheese pringles, were in the middle console, and the lid came off and chips went all over the car, it was a HUGE mess!! The airbags did not deploy because my car is small, and I guess the sensors are in the bumpers and both of the other vehicles were taller and my bumpers didn't get hit at all, so I hit my head on the steering wheel, then my head hit the back of the seat and did some sort of damage to my neck. The first thing I saw was what I thought was smoke coming from under the hood (Adam later told me that it was just steam, and I am silly) so I freaked and grabbed Zander from his car seat. I don't really remember much, the cops making me sit down, emt's checking me out, and a nice cop cleaning up my car for me. By the time the tow truck got there I thought I was okay, and the guy that hit me was driving a company truck, and his boss had come down to check everything out. I couldn't get ahold of anyone I knew, Adam's phone was dead, my mom was at work but when I called her no one could find her, and my dad was out of town. I was just about to freak out about being stranded when the boss came and gave me the keys to one of his company trucks and said I could keep it for as long as I needed. I thanked him and got Zander's car seat in and what little stuff I managed to grab before they towed my car away into the truck and decided I would drive to the hospital where my mom works to calm down. I drove for about 50 feet and realized that I was not in fact okay, so I pulled into the first driveway.... my office of course, I leaned out of the truck and threw up, went inside and threw up again and got some water, in the meantime a friend who had seen it went and found my mom and she called me, she said I was disorientated and called 911, so and ambulance rushed to my office, where all my co-workers could see and strapped me onto a backboard and took me and zander to the hospital. I had a cat scan and there are no broken bones, just a concussion and whiplash. That cat scan did find a lump on my thyroid glad that I have to get checked.... great!

So today I feel like a train ran right over me, my whole body hurts, mostly my neck, I have to go to my Dr. on Monday and get an MRI for the thyroid thing, and to check my discs in my neck. Zander is fine, he was scared out of his little pants, but thank god for good car seats..... and thank god for my husband the seat belt enforcer of our family who has taught me much better seat belt habits. If not for proper seat belts we both could have been much worse!

So, here is what my car (you know the one I got in like APRIL!!!) Looks like now dang it!!! All my super cool stickers (see the family of 7 turtles ruined, an my Bachi sticker..... what did I do to deserve this!!!! and my I'd rather be diving plate all ruined) I guess this is one vehicle that won't be coming to Hawaii with us!
