CRASH!!

So I'm on my way to the hospital this morning in hopes of bringing Owen home!! YEP... they were going to release him today. WERE is the big word here. We'll get to that in a second. I'm cruisin down the freeway at about 50mph since it's rush hour (otherwise it would have been a lot faster)... BBBAAAMMMM... I get smashed. The faulty driver was reading a map while driving in the fast lane... genius! Anyway... he hits car number two, then I got the slow motion version of the crash. Thankfully, I hit no one in return. No one was injured, we all had insurance and I drove away with my bumper following me.

I got to the hospital to find a very crabby Owen and he was using a lot of effort to breathe. It was my call to leave him there just another day for observation. The only stipulation I made was... NO POKING HIM!! He had a fantastic afternoon full of smiles and cooing and hopefully I'll be bringing him home tomorrow morning.

I left the hospital earlier than usual to get my car to the body shop ... my bumper in tow...which I tried to tape with medical tape (this doesn't work)! They took me over to the rental car place and all they had were cars approved by the insurance company. I'm not snooty and I don't mind driving a car...BUT... when you crash my 4Runner, I find it only fair to give me a comp rental. Unfortunately they had nothing until tomorrow morning so I took the car just to get out of there. I will be calling the insurance company first thing in the morning and politely insisting on a SUV, not a car.

I'm grateful that I'm now home and getting some rest...tomorrow will be another busy day and I can't wait to bring Owen home after 30 days!!!!
