Not such a good day

So this is my car, or what's left of it as of 8:00 am Tuesday. That snow bank on the right is what made this possible. The ice also played a major role. On the left, you can see one lane. My lane is the one with all the ice and snow. Lucky me. As I got to this spot in the road, I realized that my lane was gone, so I had to drive in the middle of the road. My wheels hit one of the many ruts in the road and turned my car to the right. I tried to correct it but the sheet of ice wouldn't let me. I hit the snow bank and flipped. Then I skid for a while until I stopped. That slightly green area in the bottom left corner is the glass from my windows. That's where I hit the ground after I flipped and then you can see how far my car went until it stopped sliding. (by the way, it's facing the opposite way then the way I was driving.)

Here is a closer picture of the bottom of my car. Not bad for my first accident. Seriously, I have never had a fender bender or ever had a ticket and here I go totally flipping my car and totalling it on my first try! When I do something, I do it all the way!

Here is the window that they pulled me out of. The blue towel that's on the ground or what used to be my windshield was put there by someone so that I wouldn't fall into the glass when I took my seatbelt off. I had alot of glass all over me: in my hair, on my jacket, and even in my teeth, but the only scratch on me was a centimeter long (fingernail scratch size) on my right thumb. I feel so thankful that I wasn't hurt. I feel that this is a prime example of why we should wear our seatbelts. If I hadn't been, I would've gone out the window like my purse did. Every morning, David and I pray that we will be safe on the roads. I know that this is a prayer answered because I am safe.

And as a side note, we had been wondering how we were going to keep making payments on this car, but not anymore! (at least we hope that the insurance check will cover a big majority of the cost of the car, even if it won't pay all that we owe)

Does anybody have a car for us?
