It’s been an odd winter in Michigan; not too much snow, and long periods between snowfall. Friday we were graced with several inches of snow and a lot of ice. My friends braved the weather though and we still had our Girl’s Night Out at the comedy club – it was great!!
Saturday morning I met up with some other friends to go shopping for the upcoming Hawaii trip. It was great! After that, I was headed home to pick up K and B so that we could drop B off at daycare for their monthly Parent’s Night Out. K and I had plans for dinner and a movie. Then … it happened.
I was coming over a hill, and didn’t realize how icy it was at the bottom … at the stop sign. I went blasting through the intersection across a 55 mph road. It’s a “T” intersection so there was no road where I was heading. The ditch drops off pretty steeply, and it appears that I flew about 20 feet before hitting the ground, going through some fence, and landing next to a tree. As my mother pointed out, I very easily could have rolled it; thinking back, I honestly don’t know how I didn’t.
Thankfully I am okay. The car has been towed off and I should know more about it later today. The body damage isn’t too bad, but who knows what is going on up underneath it. Fingers crossed! B is very sad that “mama truck” is not at home, but we told him it’s with the “truck doctor” and he seems to be accepting that. 
I am so blessed to be okay, and to have had such wonderful family and friends come to my side.
Yikes! Those pictures ARE scary and I’m glad you are ok because your mom was right! The car doesn’t *look* that bad. Fingers crossed.
