Today has been one of
those days that we would rather fast forward and then say I'm glad
that's over......
Sometimes I wonder how
things can become so crappy.
Facing a day of one bad
thing after another I ask "Did I do something wrong?"
...surely not!
I woke today in such a
bubbly mood hopeful of all the things I could achieve and more.
With A.J. in his holiday
mode I had allowed him the pleasure of sleeping in, which was also a
benefit for me, being able to enjoy the silence and calm.
After I finally got
motivated I had begun clearing more of my sewing room out, in the
midst of rearranging it in a better order. I came across some fabric
that I decided to use and make a pillowcase for my boomerang pillow.
After finishing it I remade the pillow and set it on my bed to admire
my work, hoping another piece of fabric catches my eye to make some
more.
While I was enjoying the
sewing session the washing had finished it's cycle so I handed the
basket to my hubby convincing him to hang it out, allowing me time to
continue on the roll with my cleaning and clearing progress.
I had even taken out some time for a picture of our lovely landscape for my pic-a-day challenge.
Suddenly I realised that
lunchtime was upon us and was about to call out to the boys and ask
what they would like, when suddenly I heard an almighty bang from
outside. First I though someone had dropped something then realised
that it was to loud, then I thought as we regularly have banging
noises from the railway depot due to the train engines shunting their
carriages it may be that, although immediately knowing it wasn't the
same noise.
I rushed outside to see my
neighbour near his car in a confused state and went down to check
out, all he could say was..... “all the cars, ohh my god, all the
cars.”
As it turns out a car
driving down our road, in a questionable state, had clipped our
neighbour's car completely breaking off his side mirror while he was
sitting in the passenger seat fixing his door.
The car proceeded to then
side-swipe my car hitting my side mirror shattering it, then the
front/side guard including breaking the tyre rims and leaving deep
scrape marks on my tyres, the force pushed the car further into the
gutter. Although the worse of it came when he ploughed completely
into our other neighbours car, pushing the front completely onto the
grass embankment and completely wiping out the drivers side of her
car.
The horror didn't end
there as the car continued down the road, while skidding on a damaged
front end, past another 5-6 houses, only to stop short of yet another
group of cars.
The next hour was spent
with the police arriving and giving statements and monitoring the
situation, then heading down for assessments and quotes ready for
when we can get the damages repaired.
When finally everything
subsided and all was gone I proceeded to head up town, in my other
car, to gain a few items, bread-milk-etc, and then contact our
regular mechanic to arrange whatever needs to be done.
After all this I found it
difficult to focus, as you do, and came to a stand still.
I decided to take the time
to check my facebook pages and contemplate my next Blog subject.....
of course the computer
kept shutting down, and then the Tablet kept freezing while trying to
upload photos,I thought I would quit before something else was
damaged.
I then received a message
that again upset me, without going into details, just to say that
sometimes family can be so very selfish. No matter how often you can
be there for a person helping them each and every time they fall on
their face, then there will finally come a time when you will
say......
“I'm sorry I can't help
you, I'm physically unable to do any more” and then suddenly you
are the bad one, the selfish one, the one that doesn't care and never
truly did. How does this come about?
After giving of my all to
this person, giving completely, and never taking, how am I the one
that is selfish and heartless?
Today has definitely been
a bad day............
