Saturday, Upsetting morning...

      Our son in law Nate married to Daughter #2 who is 39 weeks pregnant called last night to tell her he was not getting off at 11:00 in the evening but had to extend to 5 in the morning.  So she stayed the night allowing Nate to sleep.  I told her I would go look at houses with her this morning and we would relay to Nate.  Well we got a call this morning. Nate had been hit (t-boned) by a drunk driver.  It totaled his cruiser.  He was hit on his drivers side and then shoved into a lamp post.  All 4 tires blew and all airbags went off. He was able to exit the cruiser through the other side window.  Other than shock and slight concussion he is okay, but very very lucky.  Thankful those squad cars are reinforced. Of course daughter was very upset.  This is the second time in a year he has been hit by someone driving drunk.

     Hubs left with the boys earlier this morning and it is much more quiet here.  Of course we forgot to pack up their scooters and James potty chair is here.  Oh well we will be down there again. No matter how hard I try I can just never get everything back into the car.  Well at least I got the kids.

     I had 4 wedding dresses picked up yesterday, so the shop looks more manageable.  But there are still many, many dresses in there. I am blessed with work.  I also completed another chart.  SO things are picking up.  But other than wedding dresses the shop is slow because of covid and that is okay.


 

SO I am onto #11. It is a much slower savings year, but then so much has happened with the move and the expenses, plus the covid slow down.  Still I am grateful for all my blessings.

Lil sis is going to drive me and we will follow Daughter to Union town which is 9 miles away to look at a house and then we will go onto Pullman to look at another, then Daughter will continue onto Spokane and we will come home.  We are going to work on a few things in the house today.  Like the garage!

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  1. How awful about the drunk driver hitting Nate! Make a list of things that go in the car and keep that list at hand when packing up the kids. Maybe that will work or buy one to keep at your house. I don't know how you remember anything with all that is going on.

    1. With all the kids coming into the world, it seems a potty chair bought to stay at your house would be a good idea.

    1. I know this is the second time this year he has been hit by a drunk. Can you imagine stealing any money? I can't (well maybe from hubs...)

  8. I am so happy your SIL is ok. Sadly drunk drivers never realize what a menace they are until after something horrible happens and they sober up.
