oh man/car wreck

So, we were in an accident on Thursday. It was pretty bad. Well we were rear ended, the whole family (The midget included). Going to meet Jordan's mom and sister to eat at Olive Garden. There was a truck and trailer in front of us turning in and we had to come to an almost complete stop because they were going so slow. Anywho, I saw it all coming and he nailed us. I didn't black out or close my eyes or forget anything that happened. I looked in the mirror... I think I'd be better off if I hadn't because that's what's stuck with me... the image of the car. The guy hit us so hard he turned us 180 degrees. You could tell he tried to miss us, hitting mostly on the drivers side of our car, but he couldn't. Our car is pretty totaled. I remember watching it all happen, I heard the sound of the metal, saw the world go spinning by. Then I turned and looked at Jeyton and he started crying. I mean yeah he was absolutely terrified. I don't think I could have done what I did any quicker. I unbuckled, hit Jordan (he looked dazed and like he might be coming to, he said everything went black then he came to with Jeyton crying), got Jeyton out of the car seat and us out of the car. Jordan got out pretty quick after us, he had to climb out the passenger door because it was damaged to bad on his side. Part of it was already messed up from when it was Jordan's grandma's car and the wreck messed it up that much more. Anyways, the other guy was bleeding from his airbag going off but seemed okay all things considered. I was almost crying, shaking so bad I could hardly hold Jeyton and trying to talk as calm as I could so he wouldn't freak out. Then Jeyton said the funniest thing and I felt a little better. We had walked to the back of the car and Jeyton goes "oh wow, somebody broke our car." The man behind the guy that hit us stopped and called 911, then started helping traffic around us. I wish I could have talked to him but there was so much going on I didn't get the chance. He was an older (than me) guy, maybe 30-40's driving a green/blue older model pick-up. There was so much going on I couldn't get a good look at things. Jeyton got excited when the cops/firetruck/ambulance showed up and made it harder to concentrate on everything. Jordan's mom came out, she was already in Olive Garden, and took Jeyton for a bit. We deal with all of the stuff, talk to EMTs cops, etc and finally get to go in. Jordan wanted to eat before we went to the hospital and I needed a drink more than anything. The force of the hit was so hard it threw our front seats all the way back and into the fully reclined position, Jeyton's foot had gotten caught between my seat and the center console but it only pulled his shoe off, he's not hurt. Though today he told us his neck hurt and I could imagine. Jordan ate and we got some tea and his family had already ordered (we told them to while we were getting things done) so we sat with them till Jordan's brother in law got off work and drove into Angelo so Jordan's sister and niece could get the rest of the stuff they needed to and we could use their truck. When we went to get the ticket, we didn't have to pay, they had taken care of it. That says a lot for them. We loved that place before but even so now. Though we might go a different way next time we go. We went to the ER, got into rooms fairly quick, but waited in there for over 2 hours. Basically the first lady didn't care, she barely touched me, looked in Jeyton's eyes and ears and told me he was fine and I had whiplash. Jordan was told the same thing. We left there and went to get the rest of the stuff out of the car, at least what we could, and headed home. It was such a long day. Yesterday was just about as long. It was awful, I hurt so bad, my neck and my left leg. Jordan's neck was killing him too and Jeyton was trying to get a cold. So it was terrible. Today hasn't been a whole lot better but we're trying to get back to where we can do normal things without grimacing. Walking is a bit hard for me, and I don't really know why my leg is hurting, it's the muscle though so who knows. Maybe over extended. Okay, I think I feel a little better talking about it.
On the knitting front, I'm trying to make me two sweaters (one's a test) and I signed up for a sample knit that I'm waiting for the yarn/contract/pattern for. I'm trying to knit to keep my mind off of stuff but it's not working as well as I thought. Whatever. I hope that everyone feels better than me, and That I get better soon. I seem to be the only one here that's whining ;)

check it out... it hasn't been months :D

so I'm proud of myself it hasn't been ages since I've last posted! It has been busy here though, Jeyton got bit my something and we ended up having to take him to Angelo, to the ER! It was horrible, to know something is wrong with your baby. :( Anyways, I've been busy knitting and frogging and all sorts of stuff. I joined my first swap, in a group called Mugs on Wishes on Ravelry. Everyone is so nice there, and well, I'm just excited about doing it. I've finished the test knit I'm doing and I think I'm going to frog the gloves that I was doing and start again. Somewhere my row numbers got away from me so I'm going to start over and keep better track this time. I've cast on for Endpaper Mitts by Eunny Jang, I just really wanted a colorwork project on my needles, I missed it so! I'm using Knit Picks Palette in a teal and a brown. I think it's gorgeous! I still can't look at that one shawl so I might just put it away for a while. I wish I could get some okay superwash wool here... but alas. I want to make me something... again... I'm a selfish knitter sometimes. :) but I'm okay with that. I haven't really touched a few of my project just because I'm still not feeling it... I hate that aspect of my life... but you know what, that's okay too because I've come to terms with that. I'm wishing right now to have a little quite time... just for me but today, I have to clean while Jeyton's taking a nap, I just don't want to listen to Little Einsteins much longer :( But then again it is better than Jeyton crying because I turned it off. sigh... hopefully today will get better.
