How did that get there????

That's my brick wall and a cute firemen. <3 The car doesn't belong there. Baby M was taking a lovely and much needed bubble bath when I felt a rumble. I didn't think anything of it. A few seconds later someone is pounding on my door. I typically don't ever answer my door. I'm so lame. When I get home I just want to vege out with the baby. This person would not stop pounding the door down. I grabbed M and wrapped her in a towel and answered the door. She told me someone crashed into my horse corral. Now... I didn't know what to think. I ran outside and sure enough. Someone drove through my horse corral and ended stuck through my wall. The car was smoldering, The horses were running, bucking, kicking and snorting. Baby M was naked with a little shark towel on my hip screaming. There's now about 50 foot of my wall down and a large hole in my horse corral, I'm not sure what to do, and this guy is stumbling towards me apologizing. I called 911 and made sure he was okay. I then gave him a good talking to.

I had a very tough time being a social worker in this moment. The only thing that kept me calm was baby M. I wasn't even mad, just dumbfounded. There is no road behind my house. He was going southbound on the road in front of my house, ran up into the dirt, crashed BAD into an electric box, spun around and started going southbound down the wash behind my house and then crashed west into my wall. He told the police office her blacked out. There were witnesses. I am glad hes okay, don't get me wrong, but WHAT THE HECK!!!! How did this happen.

It took 2 hours to get the car out of my wall. Its gone and I'm left with a big mess. Brick flew about 100 feet into my yard. I am very blessed no one was hurt. I have my horses in a small area until I can get them boarded at my gramps this weekend and I just finished putting up a temporary fence for my pups. He was arrested and charged with multiple charges last night. One being a DUI. I pray he uses this as his rock bottom. Time to make some changes.

Life is full of surprises and challenges!! I'm pretty sure there was a reason for this. Maybe it was his wake-up call. Maybe it was mine. I am very thankful no one or nothing was seriously injured. I don't know if you can see the railroad tie in the picture that is sunk in the ground as a fence post. That's the exact spot I feed my horses. There is now brick and bent iron in that spot. I had just fed them. They must have sensed danger and got out of there. I have counted my blessings time and time again in this accident.

Update on the baby next. I promise!
