A Different Kind of Drama

The weekend was crazy! One of my sons was away, so my husband and I took off for his place. Nice and quiet and secluded and..... no kids!!!


We got a bunch of stuff done for the house on Saturday. Saturday night my daughter calls. . . she's been in a rollover. We meet her later at the Sheriff's Dept. Luckily, and amazingly, she wasn't hurt too badly. Bumps and bruises mainly. Her car, on the other hand, is totaled. And of course, being a broke teenager, she had only Liability on it. So. . . she now has no transportation. Luckily she was not driving, her boyfriend was, so it won't destroy her insurance rates when she manages to get another car.


I couldn't believe the state of her car. The only thing not damaged, it seemed, was the hood. The roof was crumpled, the back end looked like she'd be slammed into by a truck. The doors were all damaged. Unreal.


Then last night, we get a call that her grandfather is in the hospital. We're off to see him today after we get paperwork and whatever out of her car.


It was a very long weekend and now a long week ahead. She's home now, for the foreseeable future while we try to figure out her transportation issues. We have 12 days to finish the house and get moved in. We made great progress this weekend so hopefully we'll actually be ready!


Needless to say, no writing was accomplished. Hope you had better luck!
