Well, today was just one of those days ....
Of which, I sure hope that I do not have another one of.. that is for sure !
The day started out ordinary, nothing unusual, I had the appointment to do our taxes today and was on the way out the door and then my son Cameron locked himself in the bathroom and being two, didn't of course know how to get out. It took me a near hour to get him out ...I couldn't find any of Adam's tools and since he is still in Germany I couldn't call him. Good thing I had planned to leave early to get a bite to eat, so I knew I would make the appointment, just not get to eat. No big deal ....yet anyway !
So, I get Cam in the van and get ready to go, it had snowed a spurt this morning...just enough to make a slight covering to things, but again...no big deal... I brush off the windows and get in the van and we're off ! For a minute or two that is...until, that is; I hit a patch of ice on the road just ahead of my house. I did not see it, it must have been under the snow, I tried to correct and went in the direction of a mailbox, but then WHAM ... I flew off in the other direction, went airborne for what seemed like two whole minutes, hit a huge fence pole then landed in a ditch. I hit my head, pretty well - I think - and probably have a concussion, my eye is killing me and I have no doubt that I will have a black eye by morning. Thankfully though, it was only me and Cam in the van and he was in a car seat. I was also thankful that I was able to get out of the ditch on my own as it was next to someone's barn and thankfully NO ONE saw me, atleast no one that I know of anyway ! (picture is above - of the place I landed)
So...the whole side of the van is smashed, ruined and in pretty rough shape. The drivers door does not want to shut and the front wheel well is pretty crushed in. We do have insurance; the van is only 2 years old; but I have no money for our deductable right now and there are other circumstances as well, so that is why I just left. I feel like such an idiot. If that pole were not there, it wouldn't be so bad and if the mirror was not on the side, my window - I am sure would have broke coming in on me. IT was what caught the pole as I slammed into it, so it is gone, but thankfully my window isn't broken !
To make matters worse, I went on to the tax appointment to which I had hoped to get a good refund from. But as my luck would have it, what we are getting back is only enough to pay about one of our late house payments, (yes, they r really that much !) meaning that I will have another due and still one behind. I have no idea what to do now, I guess that we are going to have to move...but to where, I just do not know. For the time being, I will still have no heat, it is okay though, I didn't want to spend the money on it anyway and I know that is just a temporary thing and we'll be fine soon. I just am lost as to what to do about our house, God ... what a bad idea it was to buy it. ( I really should stop listening and doing what other people want me to do and do what I want to do.) I know that if I do not get some ideas soon...real soon... we will not have a home to live in.
This day is just not very good !
I am trying to stay positve, I really am ... LORD...I sure NEED SOME PRAYER HERE ! Oh my !
Well, I am going to go, I have to get dinner ready for the kids, I am not hungry so I might just go lie down, I just feel sick.
Hope everyone else had a good day though !
Take Care, I will write soon ! TAMMIE
