The Scare of My Life

I'm working on about 3 1/2 hours of sleep, Tyler's been...well...Tyler with a little vinegar added in...After trying to get a nap in myself and trying to get Tyler to for over 30 minutes, I gave up and headed out to the grocery store. After all he had already woken up Zachary too...

I'm heading down the hill...Suddenly a jeep comes barrelling at me on the wrong side of the road. The driver of this vehicle was northbound while I was in the southbound lanes...on a divided two lane road...he had nearly rolled this jeep, went through a traffic sign and pieces were flying all over the road from the sign and the jeep...He ended up driving the wrong direction head on towards ME!!! I felt frozen in time...Everything was moving in slow motion...I felt like I had the wind knocked out of me...somehow I managed to pull over as he whipped a fast U turn (nearly rolling over again)...I let him by...took a few deep breaths and reflected there on the side of the road... Had I not reacted by pulling over, he would've hit me in the driver's side of the van...Zachary and I would've been goners since he was going a good 60mph. I began to drive and somehow he ended up behind me again. Once again I pulled over into a parking lot this time and let him pass by. I wanted to get his license plate, but I was shaking, nearly hyperventilating and I think my blood pressure was so high I couldn't see straight. I sat there for a few minutes and composed myself...then went on my route...

Suddenly, the jeep appears again...on the other side of the road going back the original direction he was going...again a U turn...again behind me. I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and he didn't...~~whew~~

I am still so shaken up. I got home and hugged Robert and Kelly tightly. I held Zachary a little closer and cried my eyes out. But now, it is time to sign off and go get Harley...just the thought of driving right now is nearly giving me a panic attack...but it's gotta be done....

At least I'm still here to be able to pick Harley up. I'm still as exhausted...we may end up doing dinner out tonight...

If you've emailed me, I will get around to a response. Today has not been a good day...things keep going wrong...

But if I was able to react like that in the nick of time to avoid complete disaster, I must not be as tired as I thought (think) I was (am)...
