DD3 is ok (thank God!) But the car, not so much...

March 6th, 2009 at 04:11 pm

DD3 (17) had a bad accident last night. She underestimated a curve, overcorrected, the car spun and then rolled down and embankment and ended up in a ditch.

SHE IS OK. Bump on the head, shook up, sore, but not a scratch on her. Thank goodness.

The car....is totaled. I am sure there will be a negative financial impact...but that worry is for a different day. Today is about gratitude and perspective.

Nothing quite like a close call to remind you of what's important.

My to-do list got a rewrite this morning...from getting up, getting ready for work and rushing out the door...to checking in on DD3, hugging her, reassuring her, calling insurance..and just being mom.

Work will have to wait for a little while. Right now, I am needed at home.

The really cool thing. My boss couldnt agree more...as a matter of fact, he just emailed me and told me to take the day off.

I am so grateful that this is a day of thanks, rather than any alternative.

    ((hugs)) Glad to hear she's ok... the car, as my grandma would say, is just a car and can be replaced...SOOOOOO glad that's the worst, and that DD is ok. A ((hug)) for her, too, to help her get over the shock!

    Glad everything's ok. Beginning drivers have so much to learn and glad she's not hurt.

    Thank you everyone. Miraculously, she is fine today and is feeling very little pain. The car was pretty much destroyed. We have filed the claims and started the process to move on. DD3 is working tonight and needed to use moms car to get there. I am confident she will be very careful. I can honestly say this was a very emotionally draining day. But I am completely blessed that our biggest worry was a car. thank you God.

    Scary! I'm glad she is okay. She will probably be VERY, VERY careful from now on.
