WHAT A DAY!!! (it wasn't a total wreck!) :)

I had so many things on my "to-do" list today. I started out by going to a Halloween store. I am looking for a good costume. I won the costume competition last year at Myriad so I at least have to dress up! I don't know if I will be able to win this year, last years was pretty good. If you wana see a pic, I will post it. I was a plumber and it was good! I won HANDS DOWN!! There is this Halloween USA store on State Street, it is HUGE and full of Halloween stuff. I mean, ISLES AND ISLES of costumes. So many to choose from I couldn't decide. So I left because mom and dad were coming up for a little family party for Kayden and Koy. I went to Wal-Mart to get some tape and scissors so I could wrap the gifts and to refill my prescriptions. That place was PACKED! I could NOT find a parking spot. I got my stuff and I was on my way to pick up the cake from Smiths. Got to the stop light, it was red. So I stopped and this old man behind me just rear-ended me. My head jerked back and hit the headrest (thank goodness we have headrests). I hurry and put on my hazard lights. The girl in the car in front of me jumped out of her car and I asked her if my car had hit hers, she said no but she saw in her rearview mirror what happened and she could tell by my head that I had got hit. The amazing part was that NOTHING happened to my car. The old man said that he saw me stop so he put on his brakes but he started sliding (it's been rainy and snowy on and off all day). The cops came and did their job. It is like his car just bounced off my car. My head has been hurting since with a headache and I can tell I have sore muscles in my back, but I think it just scared me more then anything. My parents were on their way, so they were able to come to where it was. (The girl in front of me called the cops while I called my dad! :))

We had a good birthday party for the boys. Kayden and Koy loved the trucks that mom and dad got them (it was a big semi that holds cars like they got Max). That is a HUGE hit with Koy, he just sits on the truck and rides around. Kayden LOVED the GREEN power ranger that he got from mom and dad. I got a pretty cool cake for them. It was a Transformer Optimus Prime cake. I have a picture on my camera (and Tammy and mom got a picture).. Kayden just sat there "That cake is AWESOME!" Then we went to McDonalds and had lunch. We did it the opposite, had dessert THEN lunch :)!

It has been really cold today. It seems like we totally forgot fall and went from Summer to Winter. It went from 60 degrees to now 35 degrees (i think that it was it is right now).. It is totally Utah weather today, the sun will come out then 10 minutes later it will be freezing! Don't you all just love Utah weather..

Well, that was the enjoyment of my day... Now I am going to go curl up and find something on tv. I never did finish getting my errands done today (prescriptions are filled at Walmart I just have to pick them up). I just love not having time to do everything that I need to do. BUT, a good finish to the day... I GOT MY COMPUTER BACK!!!! YAY!!!!!

You really did have a crazy day! I hope that you are feeling ok from your fender bender.

i got in a fender bender once and i hit the car in front of me. It did more damage to my car than the van i hit. You were lucky

Sounds like an eventful day. I have never really got in a accident so I can't say that I know how you feel, but I am so glad everyone is okay! I too need a good costume. I am an aide at the elementry school and want to use that as an excuse to dress up but I just can't find a good costume for a good price!

Wow that isnt fun. I wrecked my company truck this summer, but it was bad, they just sent it to the junk yard! Hope your okay though!

I'm pretty sure I did see a pic of that costume somewhere. It was pretty spectacular...I'd like to see you top it this year. I'm sorry about your accident. That really does make for a bummer day, but I'm glad you had your family there to pick you back up.
