When you're feeling sorry for yourself...

I've been feeling kind of bad for not being more present and supportive here, but I've been living something of a pity party for a while.  Husband essentially unemployed for the last 2 years, all the financial and marital stress that comes with that, daughter having an a$$hole of a boyfriend for over a year, yada yada yada...

Then, this.



Nothing like having God smack you upside the head with a little perspective every once in a while.

Bailey was alone in the car when this happened.  God himself and several angels were in the car with her - she's banged up, bruised and hurting, but no internal injuries, no broken bones, not even any surface wounds.  Life HAS sucked for some time now.  But Bailey's okay.  That's really all that matters.

Darla:

I am so glad that Bailey is OK and you see that fact as being more important than all of the other challenges you have had to face these past few years.  That perspective is both admirable and inspiring.

Wow! That's every Mothers worst nightmare! Blessings, and hugs Darla!! I'll say a prayer your Hubby finds work soon!

 I always think back to my friend who died from cancer when I start having a pity party. It could be worse.

I saw that pic and am SO THANKFUL Bailey is okay. Thank God she has a sweet mother to take care of her and make her laugh! 

Darla,

THANK GOD! She is OK!  (((HUGS))) to you! 

Darla, how scary this must have been. I'm so very glad she's ok. Maybe it knocked some sense into her? *HUGS*

She is a sensible girl.  It's been rather amazing how many people have assumed she was texting while driving.  But I checked her phone against the time she called me, and she was not on it - calling OR texting.  Maybe she's been listening to me afterall? 

Scary! So glad she is ok!
