Life has a way of well, taking on a life of it's own. I was on a mission at the beginning of the week to get some projects done, painting, taxes, clean my house.
I did get Marissa's room painted, but that's it. I've had collection issues with some of our clients and some not-so-nice conversations with people which is leading me in a direction I don't want to go in, but financially necessary. Derek's car has broken down twice and we have had it towed both times. David was hauling a trailer and one of tires blew out - another call to the wrecker. And just as I was getting totally frustrated.....
Yesterday as Derek was on his way home driving our Honda Civic (with parts to his car) he was hit by a cement truck. There is no doubt in my mind that Derek had an angel with him! The truck was changing lanes and didn't see Derek. He basically changed lanes on top of him. As the truck hit Derek the bumper went right through the driver's side window missing Derek's face by inches. And as the bumper came in through the window the glass shattered and was blown outside. The civic was then spun around infront of the oncoming cement truck and then the car stopped facing the truck. He and his friend walked away without a cut or scratch. Derek does have a mild case of whiplash, and his friend has similar symptoms (he is getting checked out today by a doctor) but it could have been so much worse!
I'm so tired and the last thing I need or want is more paperwork to do. But I'm so grateful that I'm not sitting in a hospital room with my son, or worse. A good lesson in what's really important.
