Swimming Classes & Car Accidents........

Not in that order, and thankfully the second part had nothing to do with Nico!! Let's begin with the good news, Nico started swimming classes on his own last Thursday and although I was a little nervous on how he would act...I think he was OK. And the reason I say, I think is because the instructors come and get the kids and towels and then you are instructed to go upstairs and watch them on a TV screen with all the other parents in a room. I guess this is good because they can't see you and won't cry for you, but watching Nico from a 40" screen with 10 or so other sets of parents was a little hard. I can tell you I think he did OK, the teacher never said anything and he sat on the edge of the pool the entire time with the other kids, but when he saw me after then marched them back to the waiting parents he starting yelling, "Mommy, Mommy" and was crying....his face was all red and I am not sure if he was crying the whole time or not. I would think though that they would have said something if he had cried the whole time, right?? Then Chay told me that he cried when he didn't get a toy at the end, as everyone else got a water toy to play with the last 5 minutes or so. So I am not sure what happened and hoping next week is better.........PLEASE!

In other news, yes as many of you know I was involved in a pretty bad accident yesterday but thankfully I was not hurt except for a stiff neck. Apparently even when you have a green light you need to offensive because running a red light is optional...actually the ironic thing is that I watched one guy blow the light and thought OK should be safe now, right?? Not, the guy behind him also took it upon himself to run the light and thought he had a green light...so now my driver side is completely smashed in and his license plate was embedded in my door. Again, thankfully Nico was NOT in the car and I was not hurt. Kiki the best doctor in the world had me call my surgeon and he said unless something changes I will be OK, so I am saying I am on my 4th of 9 lives and apparently it still isn't my time to go! So now since no one was cited and why in the world would anyone stop to see if everyone is OK, it's my word against his.......such is life I guess and I am sure somehow it'll work out, but one thing I do endorse Honda's, I have had two terrible accidents first one in my Honda Accord hitting head-on with a vehicle that turned in front of me and yes I had a stiff neck, but really no injuries...although my car, with $11K worth of damage was hurt but I walked away and now with my Honda Civic being hit directly on the driver side door at 40+ mpg and still no injuries other than soreness....I am definitely saying that I will not buy anything other than a Honda for these reasons and am so fortunate I was not hurt and neither was the other person...I just keep telling myself, "cars can be fixed!"

Until our next adventure!
