Not your typical Christmas!

WOW! What a week or more..... like what happened to the last 2 weeks?

Just the other day I was thinking to myself..." WOW"-the kids will be on their way home. "I need to get busy"!

I have been feverishly cleaning House,wrapping gifts, cleaning out my overly messy,too cluttered of a studio... so my daughter and my 2 grandkids could move in. My daughters husband will be flying back and then leaving for Iraq .

The are going to be living with me for the next couple of months until the army releases money for a place for them to call home.

the last 2 nights were sleepless ones. I worked on Restorations and packed up the last few things that I could before christmas.

Something kept bugging me in my dreams and uneasy feeling of worry...Stress makes me the person that I am, I actually thrive on it -But this kind of stress had me a bit uneasy.

I love this time of year,But I have to tell you that I was almost sick with worry those last couple of nights.

Saturday evening came and I had been calling them off and on.

I was thinking to myself, that they should be arriving around 9-11pm. I was trying to keep myself busy.. baking Christmas cookies and helping Lil "B" with the Icing.

As I turned around to ask my hubby something about the kids ,the phone rang......

On the phone was a frantic voice, with a screaming baby in the background! My heart sank as I realized it was my daughter. She was frantic and all I could make out was that they had wrecked...hitting black ice.

They were turn around pointed in the opposite direction on the side of the road, when another car hit them just as my dughter had cleared the guard rail with her 2 month old infant in her arms when another vehicle also hitting the black ice plowed into the front of their vehicle!

Her husband ,the 3 year old and their pet dog were still in the vehicle!

As the other car hit them-the kennel flew up into the air letting their dog escape in an instant. They escaped with no injuries!!

Thank God no one was hurt except for a few brusies and a couple of throbbing cranial lobes... One of which was mine!

As far as we know , the vehicle is totaled and the U haul trailer may have played in fault of the wreck as the hitch broke,But we are not sure of anything at this time.

My christmas wish was to have my whole family together and It miraculously came true!

Thank you Lord for watching over my children...and yours.
