My Eventful Weekend

So my weekend seemed like it was going to be like any other weekend. Friday night I get home early from my biology lab...5 o'clock to be exact, which is nice considering I usually don't get out until 5:30. I was out EARLY! So I get home and there's my brother as usual just relaxing. And this time there is another little dude with him. Our new cousin JOHN! (have I mentioned my aunt is trying to adopt a 11 year old boy that's was origianally from Haiti) Well This is the kid, he's a great kid...very "active". Good thing Michael was babysitting him and not me :) So I cook them supper and I spend the rest of the evening reading a book. Because I haven't read a book in a very long time. It was a good pick me up, I needed a little inspiration that night. I went to bed because I knew I had to work in the morning. Than morning came...


That morning, was one of the worst I've been through...scariest, and well the first time I've ever been through this. I got up like I usually do, got ready to go to the pool, got bathingsuit on and what not. Mom and I leave at like 7:45 (Mom's Driving, cause she needs the van). Just a reminder this is the Saturday where it was the first snow fall, it doesn't seem that bad, just a little flurries at that time. Well did you know that the Rothesay Overpass Bridge freezes before the road, yes, well so did we...but we had to break the car in front of us was slowing down, and mom breaked, well the Bridge is ICE! and we started to fishtail, but we were in the middle of a turn. We than started spinning (no joke), we did two 360's all we had to do at that point was hold on. I completely froze I had no idea what was happening, I just knew we weren't going straight anymore...I didn't clue in that I was about to be in a car accident. I can just remember hearing my mother praying "LORD, Jesus protect us," Than it happened we hit the the rail, the air bags were released and we went flying into them. (Thank God for seatbelts) We than slid down the the road a bit and we sat there. My mom than wipped her cell called 911, and the police were on their way. It felt like seconds, probably cause it was.


I can just remember soon after mom called a man came to the window, wanting to know if everyone was ok. He seemed to be in military garb, he was a nice man, he stayed with us till the ambulance came, which was soon after. The ambulance came, asked us how we were feeling and I was fine, so they left when the police came. While waiting for the police I called work. Nice huh. I had to call work...well considering I had to be in the pool in about 15 minutes I thought it would be good for them to know. The police officier came, and I had this feeling that I knew him ( I found out later that it was my best friends neighbor that I had babysat for before) Amazing huh! Well he drove us to the Aquatic Center where my boos told me to go home. So I did. I couldn't leave yet cause mom and I had to find a way home. So we got a rental car. The car actually drives very nice if I do say so my self, Even though I can't drive it. It took forever to get the car because the guy was so slow and so dumb, but there was another guy there and he was CUTE! He would walk by and smile at me, he evened walked by and winked at me once. Made me feel better, after what I'd been through. We finally got the car, and MOM drove home! Way to go Mom, that's the thing to do, get right back behind the wheel. Smart woman! I got home, showered than called Lin, Can I say I loved Her reaction. WHAT! It was very cool. So I than went to bed to, sleep I say, It was nice, just to relax, and release all the tension in my muscles. I than went out that night...just to make sure I was still alive. I watched Runaway Jury (very good movie by the way) And just so everyone knows I am alive with little injury, We think I just got whiplash, because my neck hurts. Medecine is what is keeping me from staying in bed. And ice...it's funny ice is what caused all this, but it is what makes me feel better.


The next day was Sunday, good ole' Sunday, I went to church in the morning, and well Pastor Duane wanted to know how I was doing, so I told him the truth, so than of course, he announces to the whole church (played it down saying it was a fender-bender) that Mom and I were in a car accident, lovely huh. They prayed, and I seriously felt instantly better, atleast for the service, I than had my client visit to go to, that was cool, I always love seeing her. I came home around 4, and than Lindsay calls...wants me to go outside...yah, me and outside just don't really mix. but I did, Kell and Lin came up to get me, and well we went outside, in the cold, took some pictures (I'll post some eventually) and just had some good fun, that we haven't had in a while. I than decided I had to do some work, I did do some work, but than the AMA's came on, and I got distracted, so I didn't do nearly as much as I should of this weekend.


But atleast I'm alive, BTW, the full impact of the crash was on my side of the vehicule, I wasn't hit, neither was my door, but the passenger side of the front of the bumper and the frame was on my side. Mom thinks that is why I'm in pain and she isn't.
