This is gonna be a long one.....
Yeah I am fine....It just sucks because this is not the first time something like this has happened to me. I have been involved in 5 accidents, 2 of which totaled the car. And none were my fault. Well, in one instance I let my friend borrow my car and he totaled it. So it was kinda my fault but I didnt directly cause the accident. So I dont know.
Anyways, here is what happened
. There were two like air conditioning utility vans in front of me. The first one turned, and the 2nd one stopped waiting for traffic to pass so he could also turn. Well I saw him because I was paying attention and I stopped. Then there was a lady in a minivan behind me, who did not see us both stop, and she proceeded to hit me, which caused me to be pushed into the van in front. So I got the most damage, front and back. And the lady just appeared clueless the whole time. We were kinda blocking the lane, and didnt wanna move until the cops got there. And people behind the lady were honking, not being able to see what was going on. She didnt have her hazard lights on or anything! I told her maybe you should turn on your emergency flashing lights so people know whats going on and she had to search her vehicle for the button to turn on the lights. And she never apologized! Only said like oh I didnt see
um yeah obviously. She didnt even get out of her car to talk with me and the other guy who was driving the air conditioning van. The guy was from another town and didnt know any local number so I called the cops and everything. I mean, I know it doesnt do any good to just get out of the car and stand around, but it at least shows you care about what just happened. I guess the air condition guy was having a rough week too. The van he was driving was rented from another guy in the company because he blew out the engine in his van. And the van he was following was his boss! He barely got any damage so I am sure he will be okay. As for the lady
well I know nothing about her expect that, after the police spoke to her, he found out she was (in his own words) messing around in the mirror and thats why she didnt see us stop.
Its just that this couldnt have come at a more inconvenient time. I was supposed to take my car to DLR next Sunday, but it looks like were gonna have to get a rental because my friends car isnt that reliable. And my parents just left for the weekend to Pismo beach, which was a thank you present my sister and brother in law got them for helping out so much with the wedding. And I really do not wanna ruin their relaxing weekend by telling them what happened. So me and my sister dealt with it, talked to insurance, got the car towed to the body shop, all that stuff. So its taken care of really. By telling them what happened will only stress them out. They might initially be upset that we didnt tell them, but really there is nothing they could do about it. I will wait until Sunday afternoon to stress them out haha. We have to pay a $500 deductible, and that will get reimbursed to us after the insurance claim goes through and its proven that it indeed was the other ladys fault and her insurance will pay us back.
The only thing that is stressing me out is how it's gonna make my parents feel. I am ok, I know it wasn't my fault, I know we don't have to pay for damages, I know it's all taken care of. I hate putting them through this, because I know how they react with these situations. My dad will initially freak out, my mom will be more understanding at least. Then in an hour or so, my dad will calm down and start trying to help me out. I think I might be at work when they get home Sunday, So i already have it planned that I am gonna write a note, address it to my mom only! Explain what happened, and hopefully, when I get home an hour or so later, they will have time to calm down and process it. i know they are gonna call my sister and speak to her about it first though, so I feel bad for her for having to deal with my dad!
This has not been my finest week, that's for sure.
That's horrible!!! Nothing like scarring the child for life! My 24 yr old still has his baby blanket & sleeps with it.
The only reason I don't now is cause it's really worn and I don't want to wreck it anymore than it is.
I don't think we'll get to go this year if I get hired (which would be a VERY good thing ... so .... 
.... I guess I should say I hope we don't get to go. But I think all of you can relate to how that is not easy to say 
My friend texted me to see if wanted to do a fiesta friday at the pool, I had to decline, ugh. Looking forward tomorrow though, DH and I are going to a wedding in the Napa (wine country) area 
Getting choked up just writing that.....
Oh no. No fun. Sounds like you're OK, though??? keep us posted
