Wreck

So Saturday I decided to load up three kids, one mom, and one grandmother ( and me) into the car and head off to Costco. Did I mention that I am pretty sure I keep Costco in business. I love the place. Anyways....where was I??? Oh yes....peanut butter prices are apparently going up soon and we must stock up ...seeing as I have a kid with peanut allergies and all. Ahem...granny practically thought the world was coming to an end and had to buy all the peanut butter in sight. But whatever..I had nothing better to do with my Saturday. So we stock up on the goodies and load back in the car and head on down the road for some lunch. I pull up to this stoplight and stop because hey, the light is red and that is what you do. I was minding my business and singing some Taylor Swift (don't love her but it was on the radio) when all of a sudden I hear a loud noise and the car goes jumping forward. WTF? I look in my rearview and notice an old dude in an old beat up car just hit us. So I of course make sure my bus full is okay and hop out of the car to see what was up. I was relatively sure that my bumper would be smashed based on the loud noise and the ache in my neck, but honestly it was still in tact with a few scratches and dents. Impressive, right? The old guy stumbles out of his car apologizing and mumbling something about checking his cell phone and forgetting to stop. A long wait on the cops, a few phone calls to insurance, and 3 bored kids later we were on our way home.

So basically my long dramatic story is we got into a wreck....a tiny one....with a small bit of damage to the car....but we are safe and healthy and most importantly alive. Wrecks are scary...even small ones.
