Ever have one of those days?

I was on my way home from work, minding my own business. I was following behind 1 or 2 other cars. The car in front of me passed the west entrance to the Hyrum grocery store. The lady sitting in the entrance waiting to come out, begins to pull out. I start thinking she isn't going to stop. I begin moving toward oncoming traffic. The lady from the entrance pulls out and t bones me & proceeds to push me down the road. Oh goody. Now I've totaled my car, am late to pick kids up from daycare, miss my chiropractor appointment (have barely been able to move for about 5 days) and Sam misses dance class! Oh, and did I mention that I was on my way home after the lockdown order on my school was finally lifted??

If the kids would have been with me, Samantha & Caleb would have taken the brunt of the force. The passenger side window shattered & covered me with glass.



It's a good thing I was able to get a hold of my brother to come pick me up. Unfortunatley for him, he was the one that had to wake up my dad (who swings in his sleep).

Can you see where my brand NEW windshield is shattered too?



Notice the dashboard & how it's up about an inch more than what it should be?

You can see my "souviners" as the highway patrolman called them, sitting on the passenger seat too.

You can see the cracks in the brand NEW windshield in this picture too. Can you tell I'm a bit bent out of shape about the windshield?

See how even the back door is sticking out? That door wouldn't even open either.

Like the black scrap down the entire side of my car?

I think what makes me the most mad isn't that I was hit. It's that we just put in $150 windshield, replaced a $75 park break, paid $100 registration, paid for 2 inspections at $17 each & I just filled it with $26 in gas tonight too!

Baby Animal Days at AWHC

We decided to go to Baby Animal Days today. I've wanted to take the kids since Sam was about 18 months. This was the first year there hasn't been snow and/or mud a foot deep. I ended up buying us a family gold membership. Now I'll be sending Sam to some summer camps at a discounted price & I have a feeling we'll be visiting AWHC nearly weekly during the summer! Good thing the kids like corn mazes!

A conglomoration of sorts

I suppose it's been a day or two since my last post! Things have been crazy insane here, as I'm sure they have been at your place. Travis has been home a few times & even one time that was an "extra" for us.

Caleb is getting so big! I need to video him & get it posted on here. He's talking a mile a minute & is turning into quite the big boy!

The kids are excited for Easter because we are going to Manti & they have been been missing their Grandpa Butter. I'm sure that knowing they generally bring home about 13 lbs of Easter candy helps (no, I'm not exaggerating).

My spring break begins on Thursday (Woot Woot!!) but Sam's doesn't start until Monday. That means we only get 1 day of spring break together. The bright side to that is Travis comes home Tuesday night so his whole week off the kids have off too! No exciting things planned, just looking forward to being home & vegging out!

My Relay for Life team has raised just shy of $300. We are getting a few fundraisers up & going. We are selling family cookbooks again this year as well as the Relay for Life cookbook we put together last year. I've bought material to make really cute pillow cases that I'm going to sell as well. A lady I work with is making watch bands to donate to our cause for me to sell as well. Relay is July 9th & 10th this year & I know it's going to be here before I'm ready. Unfortunately this year Trav won't be home that weekend, so the kids will be on campus with me the entire time. I also managed to become a committee member for the entertainment committee! So, if you or someone you know is at all entertaining (or has some ideas ;) ) let me know!

My car pooped out again so I'm driving my brother's car. I'm seriously ready to push that sucker off a cliff. I know we've gotten our money's worth, but honestly! I just want a car that will start EVERY time I get in it & try to start it! Is that so much to ask?

There are only about 8 more weeks of school left. Right now it's looking like I'll have the pleasure of staying home with the kiddos for an unspecified amount of time after school gets out. Not sure I'm going to go back to teaching. I knew there were politics when I got into it, but I just don't think it's worth it anymore. Guess that's some soul searching I have to finish up within the next 8 weeks.
