I was so happy yesterday, as my schedule at worked finally changed from the godawful hours of 6:00 -5:00 pm to 8:30 am-7:30 pm.....and I was gonna get 2 extra hours of sleep!! So there I was all snuggled in my bed and the front door starts pounding off the hinges. I drag myself outta bed, and its a police officer causing all the ruckus. He asks me if the van out front is mine, and I groggly answer yes, because it is. He then proceeds to tell me it was jsut involved in an accident- with a schoolbus. I look around and sure enough he has a bus pulled over, with about 20 little heads peeking out the windows. Apparently this bus sideswiped my van taking my mirror out in the process. Now Im not sure if any of you have been involved in an accident before even waking up, but if you havent, let me tell you-not a great way to start your day.

The worst part is all the irony behind this. I jsut got my van back from the shop less than 2 weeks ago after the engine blew and i dropped 2300 bucks on it to make it work again. all that time and money and having to drive a friends car to and from work...and the ecstacy of getting it back finally only to wait a week for a bus full of kids to put it back in the shop..And you cant forget of course this was the first day of my new schedule- normally I am gone WAY before buses come by my house...talk about murphys law

The closer I came to that was when a police car hit our parked Pick-up truck while in the pursuit of a felon. The bumper got bent real bad, and we didn't even get any compensation. That was about 20 years ago. Hope your tomorrow is great. Linda

I lived at the bottom of a steep hill, and a car that was parked at the very top (by a drunk man) had rolled all the way down on it's own... it stopped when it drove itself into the front end of my car. UGH. Hang in there! It has GOT to get better, right? Karen
