So Mad.....

I seriously do not know if we are going to survive living in this neighborhood. Yesterday was such a beautiful day, so yesterday evening we decided to go for a family walk (I was pushing Lily in the stroller). On our way back home we were walking back into our neighborhood, we have to cross the street to get to the sidewalk. A car on our side of the street was stopped at the stop sign at the entrance of our neighborhood to wait for us to cross over, well we are all 3 right in front of the car when all of sudden she hits the gas and hits all of us. I was pushing the stroller, Jim was walking along by the stroller (closest to the car). The car hits him first, he tries to stop the car and get out of the way before he is pushed over onto Lily and the stroller. Then the car hits me and is pushing the stroller while I am trying my best to get the stroller out of the way, but it all happens within seconds. The lady in the car was probably in her 30 or 40's and was on the phone not even paying attention. She wasn't stopped at the stop sign waiting for us to cross she was just busy on the phone and didn't even see us. So stupid! I was so upset. I am just so thankful that Lily wasn't walking along w/ us or I know the car would have knocked her down. I kept asking her if she was alright and she said "I'm alright Momma." It knocked her water out of her stroller so Lily was concerned about that. I will be so glad when our lease is up here and we can move. If we can survive that long. About the only good that has come from us living in this community is some wonderful lifelong friendships we have made, for which I am thankful.

OH MY WORD! I hope you all are ok. I would definitely be ready to get out of that neighborhood too! I hope the idiot realized what an idiot she is.

OMG!! Thank God you all are ok! As a Mom I find every day more and more people are just stupid. Things people do and say that I would blow off before kids now effects me in a totally different way.
Sending positive thoughts your way.
