More Clicks...

At the end of July the kids and I were in a car accident. We got rear ended by a woman that was clearly using her phone.  When are people going to get it???  Cell Phones and cars DO NOT MIX!  This was also a day of why didn't I listen to my inner voice?  Had I done so, we wouldn't have been hit.  We were at my moms and needed to go pick up some milk and stuff to eat.  It was a very hot day out and I had promised the kids that we would stop after Walmart and pick up those $1 frozen lemonades from Tim Hortons.  As we were leaving the girls wanted them first, I caved because I was actually hot too and thought I didn't want to fight the rush hour traffic to get to our Timmies later.   So we stopped and everyone got a frozen lemonade. 

We headed towards Walmart, to do so I had to merge onto another road.  I was waiting my turn, Big trucks were coming so I thought it best not to go. I never took my foot off the break, but somehow the woman behind me decided it was a good idea to put her foot on the gas, and she hit us hard and we were flung forward a fair distance.  I pulled into the parking lot and the Madisen was screaming that that Zachary was bleeding.  I had totally forgotten about the drinks they all had.  I jumped out of the van and whipped the door open.  He had so much blood coming from his mouth that I couldn't figure out what had happened. Madisen finally said that the straw had cut him because his head flew forward when we got hit.   (As this is happening, I hear the woman that hit us on the phone saying "I'm going to be later then I just said, I was in a car accident) The road we were on there was no where to pull off to text or call someone with out still driving.  We exchanged everything we needed too.  The damage on her SUV a dented license plate.  Mine? the estimate was over $5000.00 of parts. 

So the 4 of us are now going to the chiropractor 3 days weeks.  We have known this chiropractor since last October.  I had been driving a friend of mine there after her accident.  So Zachary was very comfortable with the office and him.  We get the activator thing and I get adjusted.  Zachary loves going because he gets "more clicks, my back" and he also gets to play with this toy helicopter (the one from Cars) and see the kissing fish (the actually come up to the glass when you "kiss" them)  When we leave he gets a sticker.  What kid wouldn't want to go?  I have to say since I've been going I feel so much better.  I've had a second thermal scan and it's a lot better then the first.  So are the kids.  Now we have to figure out how to get there 3 times a week with school starting next week! Early early to rise kids!  Zachary asks me every night if we're going for "more clicks?"
