Just when I thought yesterday couldn’t get any worse…today happened! Morning with the kids was the usual except Dave forgot Peyton’s bike for bike day, despite me reminding him 10 times, the last of which was as he headed downstairs to leave for work. I popped my trunk open to NOT see the bike there. Luckily, Peyton was not bent out of shape about it. His response to me texting him about it was, “Oops.” I got in to work and knew it was going to be a busy day with lots of labs to sort through. Then at 830 am, my coworker called to report “a problem”. I wasn’t online yet, so I didn’t know if she’d made it in. She called to tell me she was stuck in traffic, behind a “major multiple-fatality” car accident. She was telling me she was stuck 20 cars behind the crash. She wasn’t going anywhere, so she wanted me to get in touch with someone to cover her work. She then proceeded to lose it, as she telling me what she was seeing. “War zone” and “bodies everywhere on the street”, and then the cursing! She was totally losing it. She was previously an ED RN, who makes fun of me for being squeamish with bodily fluids. She went to NO after Hurricane Katrina, and now she was totally losing it! Her voice was shaking, and she started crying. She was near another truck driver who had watched another truck driver, his friend, crash into all these cars. I hung up with Paula, and set into motion plans to get her coverage. Bonnie and I got things settled and looked for information online. We found it right away! A single fatality. So far, but multiple injuries. The lanes were closed, and no one was going anywhere. Things settled down, then I started calling more people. About an hour later, Melissa got a call from Kathy. All we heard was, “Are you alright? Is everyone okay?” When she got off the phone, she informed us that Kathy was in a head on collision, which totaled the car. Both kids were in the backseat, and freaking out, but no one was seriously hurt. Kathy had some neck pain and was going to come in to get evaluated. But otherwise, wasn’t coming in to work. Turns out they were hit by an 85 year old who had no driver’s license, and he’d run the red light hitting two cars, one of which was Kathy’s. Luckily she has a big car! Now I really couldn’t concentrate! I got more updates from the first crash, pictures, from Melissa’s cousin, too. Scary pictures! Debris all over the place. We got to see Kathy who came in after her appointment. She was going to get xrays to make sure there were no hairline fractures. We were able to have a nice long walk at lunch. I was slightly afraid of walking on the sidewalk outside, for fear of some random car crash, with the way the week had been going. Luckily, we tempted fate, and nothing happened! It was good to be outdoors. The rest of the afternoon was business as usual, and then we all headed out after a trying day. I went back to pick Peyton up from school, explained to the teachers it wasn’t me who left the bike. Peyton told me she was going to talk to “David” about it. Brandon and Dave came home; we all ate, and then they headed to piano first. Peyton and I walked over a few minutes later. Both lessons went well, then Dave and Brandon left to go work on his homework, while Peyton and I walked back. Here’s video 1 (Sight reading). Video 2 (London Bridge) . at the beginning of the week, she couldn’t play it without messing up notes. She nailed it in front of the teacher, which she’s done several times now, when she plays in front of her. Poor kids both look back at Mommy after they’ve finished up a song.
When we arrived at the piano teacher’s, we were still a bit early, so Peyton got to play with the dog. Brandon only got a little time with the dog. Here are the pics:

So cute how fascinated they were by the dog, who was so calm and nonchalant about the whole thing, after he’d sniffed us out when we first arrived.
Brandon came home and told us “we ran into a lot of traffic today going to our field trip!” He had no idea what he’d faced. He said it was still bad traffic coming home, too. I never thought about his field trip, not even once! Glad I didn’t, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to stay at work at all…
