A little recap
On Wednesday, I went to get Aidan from school. It was a rainy, cold day. Much like every other day this week. I put Aidan in the car and was driving home, thinking about the fact I was getting my hair done at 4. I was driving on a 4 lane road with the turning lane in the middle. Is that technically a 5 lane? I don’t know, you get the idea.
I was in the far right lane, when this white car with black tinted windows pulled out right in front of me. I mean, RIGHT.IN.FRONT.OF.ME. I had to swerve to miss him. So here I am swinging my car into the left lane, not even having a chance to see if any one else was in that lane. The car, the one who pulled out in front of me, continues into the left lane as well. So I swerve to miss him or her again, and the brakes on my van locked up. At this point I was sliding across the road because the roads were so wet.
Some how, my car just stopped perfectly in the middle lane. I glanced in my rear view mirror and there were no cars in my sight. I have decided that this was a miracle. Usually traffic on this road is heavy, and there is always someone right behind me, making me a nervous wreck.
I would like to add, that up until this happened, my anxiety that is associated with riding in a car has been very low. I’ve been cruising around this last week like a newly licensed teenager. Like your average newly licensed teenager, I was a very nervous newly license teenager.
Its weird, because I kind of know what happened, but I don’t remember what happened. I am pretty sure I may have gone into shock. Everything always seems so weird when you’re in those kind of situations.
I’ve wanted to get my hair done forever, like these purple, red and blond highlights. My dad gave me my Christmas money Wednesday, so I wanted to use it on my hair. While I was sliding across the road, I remember thinking, “Not today! I have a babysitter! I want to get my hair done!”
After the car stopped, I sat in the middle lane for a while. I angrily blew my horn at the guy who ran me off the road. I think I may have actually been beating my steering wheel. I was so angry. He didn’t even stop. Now everywhere I go I look for the white car with tinted black windows. There are a lot of white cars with tinted black windows, by the way. After that, this car pulled into the turning lane, coming from the other direction. Aidan started yelling, “Watch out!” She thought the car was going to hit us head on.
I am so thankful that we didn’t get into an accident. It was like my car just barley missed this other car. I am so amazed that I even had the reflexes to respond because my head is a fog right now between my cold and the cold medicine. I officially declare this a Christmas Miracle. I know God’s hand had to have been on us.
I did get my hair done and it’s beautiful. It’s WAY darker than it’s ever been, and that is a really nice change. I got the highlights I wanted. Today I am going back to have purple put over the blond, and put some blond in some different spots.
I think I am almost done being sick. Which is great because tonight is the Ugly Christmas Sweater party. I will hopefully be concocting something fabulous to wear. I am still looking for a sitter though…wait a minute…as I type this my mother has called and volunteered! Another Christmas miracle ladies and gentlemen!
It’s a wonderful life afterall!
