God was watching over me today
Today was a very stressful day for me. The weather was bad, the snow started in the early morning. I had to spend the morning getting some necessary things done and waiting for return phone calls so I could make an appointment. As I was waiting the weather got worse and my patience wearing thin. After many hours I finally spoke with the necessary people but was unable to make an appointment, all had gone home early because of the storm. Well I always do my grocery shopping on Fridays and I really needed to get out of the house by this time so I decide I would venture out in the snow. The roads didn't look" too bad". I left my street and started down the next one which goes downhill and as I started down hill my car started to swerve, and skid, I pumped my breaks and preceded to swerve sideways and tried to straighten out and at that point the road had a slight curve and I went up and over the curb, through a fence, over some bushes and stopped just before hitting a tree. I was not physically hurt but quite shaken up and crying. Several people can out after hearing the commotion to see if I was alright, I called the police, they arrived and since I was alright and my car was not badly damaged he wasn't going to write a report he had too many other accidents to attend to. The person whose fence I plowed down said I could repay them just for the materials and they would get it fixed and the other one whose bush I went over told me not worry about it. So they told me to back up and try and get back on the road, well I got stuck on the curb and was blocking traffic, the policeman said I wouldn't be able to get a tow for quite a while so several people wanted to try and push my car out, they got sand to put under my tires and after a few tries I was off the curb and on the street. I got all their names and gave them mine so I can make amends. Then I went back up the hill and back home. I wasn't going to try and drive anymore today after that.
As I said God had to be watching over me, there were no other cars involved and I was unhurt. My front license plate broke off and my bumper has a few scrapes. Hopefully there is no damage under the car, my husband will check tomorrow.
I will gladly pay for the damage I made. I thank God for watching out for me today and every other day.
I hope you all had a better day than me.

Wow, I'm sorry it wasn't a great day, but I am so glad it wasn't worse. You met up with a lot of nice people, too. Today has really stunk with the weather. We have the ice storm going on in NY too. We got a tease with the warm weather for the past two days and then get hit with this storm. Again, I am glad that you came out of this ok.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
