Well I'm sure y'all are all waiting on my Christmas blog, but this one is about the wreck.
Yesterday was Christmas Day. We opened gifts at home, Annie napped, then around 11:00 we headed to Puddin and Pops's for festivities at their house. Since our lives revolve around naps, we left a little after 1:00 so Annie could rest up.
I like to drive, so we loaded up in my suburban and headed home. We live about 5 minutes from the in laws. I was on the long road that heads to our house, topped the hill and started coasting because we were nearing our driveway. I turned on my blinker and started to brake. Then I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a car flying towards me. I gave the car gas in an emergency attempt to keep from getting hit. About that time Trey says something about why I sped up and I sort of hollered then Boooom! We got smoked from behind, went flying on two wheels, barely missed a culvert, and ended in my driveway.
Here's the other car...
The 20 something year old chick never apologized, didn't ask if we were ok, never got out of her car, she just sat there and chain smoked.
I'm guessing she was going 50-60 mph. My head slammed into the headrest. It hurt. Today I've had a headache all day and my neck feels strained. And to add to my list of ailments my arms hurt. I guess from steering and trying to avoid the culvert.
Looks like her car is toast. I'm thankful I drive a bus. My car did get towed away. It was making a grinding noise and driving funny. Good old Pops let me borrow his Yukon until we figure out about mine.
No skid marks....
God was definitely watching over us. It could have been a lot nastier. I hope that young lady learned a valuable lesson yesterday.
