Uggh

I will start by saying we are all 100% ok, no one was hurt and everything is going to be alright.

Ok, with that preface ... I wrecked my car. It was my fault, I misjudged and didn't stop soon enough and rear-ended a Suburban on my way to work on Thursday. Tyler was in the car with me. He didn't cry and was not scared -- I wonder what that means about his fear factor?

Never one to sit back and wallow in self-pity, I took immediate action to get things fixed.

The accident happened at 7:50. I was home and on the phone with my insurance by 8:20. I got a 9:45 appointment with an estimator to document the damage. By 11:15 a.m. I had a check in my hand for the repairs. We dropped my car off before Noon, got the boys to school and borrowed a truck from my wonderful in-laws until my car is ready. I was at work before 1:00.

The front end of my car looks pretty sad, but hopefully in 10 days or so she will look shiny and new again. I am just thankful that no one was injured and that the process has been relatively smooth so far.

So, my PSA for the day -- brake early, brake often!
