Well my truck is damaged by a hit and run!! This is my first accident in this new vehicle and it was not EVEN my fault!! People are sooooo impatent when they are driving. It’s like some are just given their driver’s liscense and no test was given! I mean OGM people come on….get it together!!!
I was on my way to the gym, Day 2 of The New Me, when I got hit. I was sitting at far left lane at stop light… waiting for the light to change. There were 4 cars ahead of me. This car pulled up behind me and starts to rev his engine. As if revving his engine will make the light change any faster. Wnyway, there is another car drinving down the turning lane. The idiot behind me, not paying attention, decideds that wants things to speed up! So, this guy swerves into the turning lane NOT paying attention to the car coming. Of course he HITS this car! You think it ends there…*singing* NO, of course NOT!! He REVERSES!!! YES…he REVERSES!!! This dude reverses into ME!!! All I hear is this loud and horrible CRRRRRUNCH!!! I screamed!! Something told me to grab a pen and paper (thank you Lord). I turned of my engine and step out of the car. I look at the guy behind me andmotion for him to step out. This man…this MAN…UUUUUUGH….looks me dead in my eye and he and his LOUD mufflerdrive off!! Thank you LORD for giving me the idea of getting pen and paper. YEP…I did it!! I wrote down his license plate number!!
Now I bet your asking what happened to the other driver. Well that guy drove of too…in the same direction of the the guy that hit us both. What did yours truly do?! I called the PoPos (in my Madea voice)!!! After waiting for over an hour for them to show up, I finally go to go home. NO…I did not get to go to the gym.
Reflection
- I am alive!!! THANK YOU LORD!!! *shouting* The last time I was in an accident I was rushed to the hospital and missed 3 weeks of teaching.
- *still shouting* My truck only has a scratch! AND my daddy says that he has a tool that can remove it.
- Did I say that I AM ALIVE?!?
- I did not curse!! I was LIVID, but not a single curse work came out of my mouth!! Not only did they not come out of my mouth, but they did not even come to mind.
Of course I am more cautious because of these accidents, and that is much needed. I plead with you people, drive for others AND yourself!!
~Love, Peace, and SOOOOOOOOUL!!!
I *heart* your reflections. I’m working on the curse word thing. I’m not on your level yet but yesterday I said heck instead of hell. So I think I’m making a bit of progress.
LOL LOL!! Please believe me sometimes I just scream instead! My students just look at my like I’m mad! And see there, you have made your first step! 🙂
