We survied the Day!

So today was one of those days. I am glad it is finally over. This morning Erik called me at 8am while he was on his way to work. He wrecked his car. He rear ended a Land Rover on the freeway. Luckily he wasn't going fast. There wasn't a scratch on the other car, but his car needs a bandaid. Erik's teeth went through his chin and he banged his knee up a bit. He is a little sore but glad he wasn't hurt worse.

I had to drive down to North Salt Lake to pick him up this morning and when we got home I got on the phone and started taking care of all the insurance stuff. Luckily I made changes to our policy last month and we now have car rental. We pick up his retal in the morning. Now we just have to wait and see if is car is worth fixing or if we have to go car shopping.

If you think that is all the excitment we had today you are wrong. I had a book show tonight down in Springville. I get on the freeway and start heading down. I was around Farmington just passing Lagoon and heard a funny noise coming from my front passenger tire. Then my car steering wheel felt like it was locking up and it was hard to turn. I drove to the next exit which was Centerville. My battery light had come on and I barely made it to the gas station into a parking spot. It was really hard to steer. I called my brother and he said it was my belt that broke and he offered to come up from Tooele to fix it. So I went shopping while I waited for my him to come up. I went to Robert's, Fashion Bug, and Seagull Book. (I am glad I made it to Centerville and I wasn't stuck on the side of the road.)

It took about an hour and a half to get it fixed. (My van belt is really difficult to get to.) I finally made it home about 8:45pm. (I broke down around 5:45pm)

What a day! On top of all that I caught the cold that Dacia and Ashlyn had last week and I am all runny and stuffed up.

Erik and I are laughing about our crazy day. That's all we can do.

I am thankful that his accident wasn't worse than it was.

I am thankful for a family with mechanics in it. (Thank You Johnny)

I am Thankful for an understanding hostess (Erik's cousin)when I had to call and cancel my book show tonight. (Thank You Elisa)

I am Thankful that I decided this morning that I was going to leave the baby home with Erik. (It would have been a long night with her)

I am Thankful for the special at Robert's (buy one Cricut cartridge, get one free) that I would have missed it I hadn't of went there tonight. : )

Most of all I am Thankful that this day is over and it's time to go to bed.
