What a day!

Yesterday I said that I wanted to skip today. When I said it, I meant that I just wanted to get to Thanksgiving faster. However, I really should have skipped today. It was not one of my best. This morning I woke up with an icky eye. I decided to go to the dr so that I didn't spread anything infectious at Thanksgiving. I didn't want to take Ellie to the dr with me for fear that she would catch something at the drs office. So my mom came and watched Ellie for me. Well, I saw the dr and she said I have a little bit of pink eye. This is what I get for working with kids. :-) So, I went to Walgreen's to get my prescription filled. I was sitting at the stop light at third street. When the light turned green I waited a second and a car ran the red light! I was glad I didn't go right then, and I looked and proceeded across the highway. Someone else ran the red light and hit me!! It smushed the whole front end of my car. And the other driver didn't even stop! I had several witnesses wait with me to tell the police that the other driver just drove away. I can't believe that! Their car was pretty messed up. I am so thankful that Ellie wasn't with me at the time. She is always with me so it was amazing that she wasn't at that moment. I am also thankful that I didn't go a fraction of a second earlier. If I had, the car would have hit me in the drivers side door, and that wouldn't have been pretty. So, things were not as bad as they could have been. However, the worst part is that my insurance isn't going to pay anything! Since it was not my fault it would be the other guys insurance that would have to pay. Since we don't know who that it, there is no one to pay! So I am left with no car (it is totaled) and no money to buy a new one :-(
I am sure there are more blessings in this situation somewhere, I just haven't found them yet :-)
I AM GLAD TOMORROW IS THANKSGIVING!!
