They're both sore from those blasted air bags. Wow, they pack a punch. They both got checked out by the doctor.
Michael, who was driving is shook up and way sad about that car. He's had a ruff time with a few things these past few months and he didn't need this. He's depressed and being way to hard on himself. He has only had his license for three weeks, but he knew these roads well and has been driving them for years. He is a good driver and it was just one of those things. He had that little Escort so fixed up and worked with his dad getting it going just right so really it's a shame. It's parked out front, quite a mess. We'll work through it like everything else. He'll be ok, he just needs some time.
Mommy has to drive him around now again and being 18, well...... but I do need my truck every day to work so he can't take it to school. I made their favorite bufallo wings tonite and brownies just trying to lift the spirits around here.
Dan, well, he's all beat up looking but went back to school. Got pity from a lot of girls and boy he loved that a lot.
Also at the same time they wrecked, there were 7 other wrecks around these mountains, same thing, slipping on the oil and wet leaves.
They'll get over it in time and be back to their silly selves soon I hope. Thanks for asking. That was nice of you.

Am sorry Marty I missed reading about your boys.
Very sorry that they were in a Accident but happy they came out of it OK.
They are going to be rather sore for awhile. My DS was with me when I was in that car accident, it took him 6 months to heal. But he did heal. Youngens tend to heal quite fast.
<<Hugs>> to you Marty.. I know it has been very scary for you.

Marty I would get rid of the car- get it gone from the place so they do not have to look at it. Get him another to start work on, if you can, maybe one that he can fix up quickly?? I know you do not want him driving but he's going to anyway so.... {{{BIG HUGS}}}} for you and them both, and poor Jerry, who won't show how scared he must have been.

Oh, Marty, I'm sorry to hear about your boys' accident. Somehow, I missed the post. It's so hard for a mama to watch her son in so much inner turmoil, let alone ailing from the accident.
Hugs to you!

Fizz we don't know what to do yet about the car. We didn't have collision, just liability but State Farm already told us that due to the air bags deployment, they would have totaled it out due to replacement costs of $1400. just for that.
I've been calling around the junk yards and there are quite a few Escorts there, same model and color so we might be able to go get a bumper, a fender and air bags and a windshield from them. I know Jerry would hate to see this little car go to junk because they over hauled the engine on it during the summer and worked on the tranny, all new tires, you name it, and that thing runs fabulous and now has only about 100 miles on the new engine and the interior is like new. It does still run too, but trying to fix it now in the winter even in the garage with heat would take a long time but it is possible. You know, if he were a rotten kid I wouldn't care so much, but you'd have to know him. Not meaning to brag but this kid is just a plain nice kid and very sweet. Lazy maybe and a big slob yes, but he's so funny and always the one that comes up with the funniest things. I think sometimes being a mom sucks when you see you kid sad. We'll work through it like everything else. The world's not coming to an end over this and it could have been so much worse. He's lucky they both walked away.
There is poverty all around us here right under our noses every day and people suffering from Katrina and Rita and bad things going on everywhere. So, we had a bit of a fender-bender and the kid is sad, well ok. But he's going to come home to food and a roof over his head and more browies on the table and a mother that loves him to pieces. Life is full of ups and downs and he's not a baby so he can get used to it. So life dealt him some lemons, so we'll make lemonade.

Poor Michael! I'm sure that in no time your family will have something worked out and everyone will be happy again! Your son sounds exactly like one of my friends, he must be great to have around! Good luck to him!
