Accord verses Dodge Ram

Yesterday afternoon I got that sinking feeling one gets when all of the sudden your world stops. The phone call saying a loved one has been in an accident, please come.
Sweetie and his 2001 Honda Accord were involved in a head on collision with a Dodge Ram truck yesterday late afternoon on his way home from work. Ice was everywhere and the two vehicles tried to avoid one another on a side road, but couldn't. The truck actually ran up on Sweeties hood.
Sweetie is extrememly achy today, but so thankful. The other driver? He had a slight warp to his bumper, and Praise GOD, he is doing just fine too. Things could have been so much worse.
As we begin the details side to this accident, I am once again reminded how short life is, how quickly things can change.

Flat squirrel

Today is February 26, 2009. On my way home from taking our eldest to middle school, I ran over a squirrel. I killed a squirrel.
There he was chattering to his little friends on the shoulder of the road. I just knew it wouldnt jump my way. But it did! Uggh!
I was on a two lane road. There was a car on the other side so I couldn't get over. It was horrible!
Poor little thing won't he high fiving anyone in the center of the road, like on the commercials. He ran under my tire.
It was horrible.

There I still don't feel better. I hope he was scooped up by something today so it will not be there for me to see.
