Springish Cleaning

Wow, today was busy! We emptied the house of furniture and everything and then Patrick dusted everything in sight, walls and ceilings too! With help of course from Hayden :) Then we cleaned all the carpets and cleaned everything else and finally put the house back together. Then I bathed both kids, both dogs and myself. I would have helped Patrick bathe, but who would have watched the kids? >:)




Cami and her doggies



I don't know who I actually told about what happened to me last week, so I will post it on here. Last Friday I got into a car accident! Here's my little story -

I'm driving along in the right lane coming home from picking the boy up from school. The kids and I are cruising along, singing itsy bitsy spider, apples and bananas, you know..all that jazz, when all the sudden this car pulls out of a parking lot full speed without looking to see if anyone is coming! I layed on my horn, which she completely ignored. I had to swerve over into the very left lane (thank God there was no one behind me at all) to avoid slaming into her car, but she just kept going over ino the left lane too! I was still laying on my horn (she was STILL completely oblivious to the fact that I was on the road) I had to slam on my breaks and she just plowed right into the right side of my car. She didnt even look around her before she had pulled out of the parking lot! If you are turning RIGHT onto a busy street, you HAVE to look LEFT to see if anyone is already coming...right?!? Apparently she is some OverLord that doesnt have to follow the rules....

We pulled over and this 16 year old chick who looks and talks exactly like airhead Karen from 'Mean Girls' gets out of her car completely scared. She was about to pass out panting like a dog and was white like she was gonna faint.

This is what she says, "Oh My God! Oh My God! I've NEVER driven this far from home before and my dad is gonna KILL me!"

....no thanks.....its cool....I'm fine...my kids are ok......

She just sat in her car crying the whole time while I called to file a police report, took pictures and all of that grown-up business. You know, I know it was an accident, but good Lord! Everyone please look where you are driving!! What if I wasnt able to get in the other lane? I would have crashed right into her car at full speed. What if you caused a wreck and kids got hurt? Please pay attention! And if there is not room for you to pull out or get over, DONT! Just freakin wait 1.6 minutes until its clear! Anyway, I hope you take just a little something away from this and be more aware driving from now on. Dont be Karen from Mean Girls...

Oh and by the way instead of calling her parents to tell them what happened and have them come to the 'accident site'...she calls her friend...another 16 year old....I thought that was
Hi-larious.
