and it was fun, and crazy, and taxing, and .... and scary ..... and so many other things.
right now, though, i have to skip on out and regroup myself.
in a nutshell, we collided with a deer late this afternoon. the deer seemingly was fine, he ran off into the woods. he was huge, sean guesstimated that he was at least 300 lbs or so, therefore, my car .. well, it isn't seemingly fine. no one was hurt, and that's the most important thing.
he had antlers, and very long legs. there is a broken window on the car, and several dents. essentially, i will need a whole new door, unfortunately. we had three kids in the car, and they were pretty shaken up. as was i. sean, ever the calm fellow was just that, calm. but shaken just the same.
scary, and just numbing how fast it happened. never saw him coming. thankfully though, otherwise, sean would have hit the brakes hard, and he would have collided with the front end of the car, as opposed to the side, and perhaps we'd be in a much different situation, i am afraid.
so, with that, i am going to regroup, and be back tomorrow.
hope your weekend was less exciting than that.
:o)

Oh Karin! I have SO MUCH to catch up with (I owe you about a billion comments!), but I had to post here. We very nearly had the same thing happen in Chincoteague - dh said it was a 6 pt buck? Or, well, some number of points, anyway. Fortunately, we did not collide, but we came very, very, very close.
I'm sorry about your car, and about it upsetting the kids, and I hope the poor animal recovers, too. (((Hugs)))
woah. I would have totally. freaked. out. Glad everyone (including the deer) is ok though. Sorry about the car. :-P
