So, Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

I should apologize for the coronary upset I caused a few of you yesterday, especially Davey... See a while back we had this... incident... where he thought if he didn't tell me something then I wouldn't have to worry unnecesarilly and I yelled at him So as you can imagine, when something rather scary and possibly dangerous occurs, you want to tell the people you love and let them know you are okay and even maybe... ask for a hug or two million...

Anyway so yesterday morning I got up, and Rich and I showered, and got the kids up and ready for school and I ran in here to check my email and stuff and he was rushing me out the door. So he was gonna take the kids to school and then go to work, and I was headed for work too. So I was behind him driving, and then we both turned onto the main road from our house, and we were driving along and I needed to turn right while he needed to continue on straight... so everyone in the long line of cars I was in was moving forward and as I passed his car, I saw the kids waving at me and when I looked back over to my lane, and I swear it was only long enough to wave, everyone was stopped. So I slam on the brakes, but I couldn't stop in time and I ran into the back of someone else.

Apparently Rich saw it happening cause my daughter said later that he was saying, "No! No! No! Oh shit!" So of course she turns around to see what he is looking at and sees me crash too... Anyway, I got out of my car to see if the other lady was okay... she was, but she didn't speak English... :wacko: So I ask her son, who is like sixteen if she is okay, and if he is, and then she doesn't have her purse... so she sends the kid to run back around the corner to get it for her from home while I let her use my cell phone to call some people, who I end up talking to since they do speak English.

Anyway, so meanwhile, Rich takes the kids to school, which is just up the street and has to come back this way to go to work anyway, and he is trying to call me but I can't answer cause this other lady is on my phone. So when he did make it back to me, I finally was able to exchange information with this lady and talk to her husband and then Rich and I drove around the corner so he could take a look at my NEW CAR!! There is hardly any damage to either of our cars, I wasn't going that fast so... anyway, so after we leave to go to work, finally, I argue with myself the whole way there, for forty minutes.

I want to call Dave, need to call, want to hear his voice and tell him I'm okay and I KNOW I'd be pissed if he didn't call me... but I knew he was in some crazy huge meeting for work all day and I didn't know when it was over and I didn't want to call him in the middle of it. Then I thought I could call his house, but if he's not there and I talk to Chris, Chris would probably tell hiim and he'd freak. Then I thought I could send him a text... but if he was stuck in his meeting still he'd freak... so I did nothing. Hypocrite huh?

Anyway, so I was at work and he sent me a text saying he was on his way home from his meeting so I replied, saying I guess it was a good thing I didn't call you before then, and please don't worry, but I was in a teeny car accident this morning, but I'm fine, my shoulder is a little sore, but not to worry... So the next thing I know, I get this phone call from him at work saying, OMG! Are you okay? Where are you? What happened? and I felt really bad that I scared him, but SO good that he called, so I apologized for scaring him, and he said, "No, just be okay please!" Followed by CALL ME WHEN YOU GET HOME!

So I did, and explained what happened, and apologized again for the heart attack I caused, which then seemed to filter throughout... although my angel seemed to keep a level head AND found a way to make me smile... so that's wicked awesome

Anyway, so Rich feels horrible he left me there, but to be honest, I didn't really expect him to stop... and I sure as hell wouldn't have wanted my kids standing there freaking out or being late to school and missing breakfast, so I think he did just what I expected, I mean he saw me get out and talk to the lady so I was obviously okay... I told him accidents happen and not to worry but then he keeps saying, "Well, if I hadn't rushed you out of the house or if I hadn't told the kids to wave at you..." and I said STOP!!! It was my fault...

Anyway, then I woke up at 2 am so I could spend the next hour vomiting, which I HATE doing... SO gross! And now my tummy hurts...

So, besides that...

Happy Valentine's Day babe, I love you today and always,

Hugs, Viv
