Car accident
I posted about this in the may/June 05 thread on cc but didn't post here - plus I haven't posted in a bit....
I got in a car accident on the way to work on Tuesday. An old woman was not paying attention in stop and go traffic and when the traffic stopped, she was looking off in the other direction, still accelerating, and crashed into me. Luckily I didn't hit the car in front of me. I saw the whole thing happen in my rearview mirror. I even had time to beep my horn to try to warn her - but she just wasn't paying attention. This is the 5th time someone has run into me in the car. I just couldn't believe it happened again. I sat there and called DH and began crying hysterically. The pain started right away, had to go to the hospital by ambulance (I'm so grateful DD was not with me). I spent the first 2 days hyped up on valium and other pain meds. I went back to work (without major meds) on Thursday and felt bad. It really sux. I know it could have been much worse but at my age, I need my back for a few more years. I really don't want to go through surgery either. I've been through pain management doctors, acupuncture, physical therapy and I still do weekly chiropractic. I just didn't need another hit like this.
Party
Tonight we are going to my Uncle's 50th b-day party. He's loaded and throws himself a huge b-day bash every 10 years. His 40th was a "black and white" party at the St. Moritz on Cnetral Park South. (I think he thinks he's P-diddy). Now, after 10 years, a marraige, a divorce and three kids later, he's scaled down his party. He just bought a townhome in the burbs of NJ for the weekends he has the kids (he's in the city the rest fo the time). He's throwing the party in the townhouse. Should be interesting. We're only going for 2 hours because I want to make sure MIL can get Jess to sleep. With all of my sleep training progress, I don't want to throw a wrench in the works for a party. MIL has never put Jessie to sleep so I'm not chancing it.
Hero Day
My niece (Lenny's sister's daughter) has "hero day" at school on Tuesday. Each kid has to choose a hero and their hero is invited to come to a hero day at school. Guess who's her hero? ME! She asked me! She has to stand up in front of the class with me and tell everyone why I'm her hero! Then when all the kids are done they sing "Wind beneath my wings" It's the sweetest thing. I feel so honored that she picked me! She told her mom, (my SIL) that if I couldn't make it, she would be her second choice! SIL will watch Jessie while I go from 12:00-2:00 on Tuesday.
