The kids and I were driving along, minding our own business, and a crash happened right in front of us. It was a bad one. It freaked me out. There was nothing I could do to help, with 3 small children in my car. I tried my best not to scare them. But they had to cover their eyes as I got out of the way.
I wish I could have had more calm, cool and collected about me. Considering my husband is a firefighter I would think I would know better what to do. But I didn't. I froze. Osmosis failed me.
I couldn't believe how close it was to us. I can't not think about what could have happened if I had been driving just a little faster. Today driving the kids to school some lady was digging in her purse and swerved right near me. I almost had a heart attack. Then some other guy was driving too fast and that made me nervous. I realize you can only control yourself. How can I protect my babies when everyone else is a maniac?
Do I sit and dwell on the what if's or do I keep moving forward and live my life the best I can? I am thankful for my life, I am going to try to stay more in the moment and stress less about all the other stuff.
Amazing what a crazy car accident can do for the brain.
