That was my theme song yesterday..... Ugh... You know I had a wierd feeling when I woke up that something was wrong...I thought well we will probably run late at work and Noah will not make it to his class on time... I wish that had been the worst of it, but no....
In the morning, I left for work and realized I had forgotten my 2 morning staples....my sunglasses and my rockstar drink.... So I was driving toward the freeway on the street and this truck in front of me decided he was going to stop for no reason... The light up ahead was green, there weren't any cars directly in front of him, just stopped..... I tried to brake in time to not hit him but his move was so sudden that his back end went up, and my front end went right under it... So as I look up in a daze, I realize this truck that I just collided with, left... He just left the scene... Upset that I hit him, upset even more that he left.... I try to turn the wheel to move the car off the road and I can't. I think it's non-drivable. So I put it in park, then drive again, and try again... I know the engine is jacked up because the power steering is gone... but I am able to move it off the road and into a school parking lot that I was next to. I call the police, and then the insurance... I called Mark and broke the news to him. I called work and said I'll see you on Monday.... I just sit there next to the car waiting for the police to come and the insurance to call, and Mark to show up... and I just watch as the fluids are draining out of the bottom of the car... and as people drive by and crush the bits and pieces that fell off the car in the road....
Just sitting there wonder why me??? I had just received some AMAZING news the day before...Noah had just tested and passed for his purple belt the night before...Everything was so great..... Did I mention I was driving the charger??? If you know me and Mark, you know this is his BABY!!!!! So that only added to my issues after the accident initially occurred. So the police came and took a report and measurements..... The insurance called for info..... And Mark came... OHHH the pain of it all.... Like someone ran over his dog, he was so upset. I knew he would be.... So we waited for the tow truck, and headed out to the body shop at the dealer. Sat there for a few hours because just to add insult to injury, the check engine light lit up on our other car. It ended up being nothing major at all, so thank goodness for that. We went home and I just slept all day. I was hoping that if I slept long enough, maybe I could do the day over, but it didn't work out for me...
Here are the pics of the car....


So here we are... Friday.... Just waiting to hear how long it will be until this car can get fixed... The body shop at the dealer said he thought it would be 3 to 4 weeks!!! (heavy sigh) I'm so bummed.
So thanks for the thoughts and prayers and messages from everyone... Just because I don't respond doesn't mean I don't care... I just don't know what to say other than thanks....

Oh Kat! I heard about your accident last night, I'm so sorry! I'm glad your ok though! How awful of them to just leave, but I'm guessing they didn't want to get caught...I hope the car isn't gone for too long :(
Love you!

hey kathy. it was so weird, i don't know if tim told mark, but the morning of your accident i was RANDOMLY thinking of YOU on the way to work {probably the same time as your accident?}. it was SO weird, but sometimes i have weird moments, so i kind of blew it off. maybe i should've called you and told you to be extra careful or something, i don't know. but then as soon as i got to work tim called and said you were in the accident and it all made a little sense to me. scary huh? next time i have a random thought i'll let you know!!!!
i'm really sorry, i know how upset mark must've been, but thank GOD kathy you are alive and well. it could've been much worse than a dented up front end. ya know??
i hope you are feeling better today. big hugs to you, i wish there were something i could do for ya too. let me know if there's anything. still praying!
love ya
