The call you never want to get!!!

Being a Mom is tough,  very tough..  Being in bed and hearing your oldest daughter's phone ring and her answer it and here her say "are you ok?"  and your blood runs cold because you know it is your youngest daughter..  that is extremely tough..  but Thank God,  we got lucky!!  Rebekah and Nik were shaken up, bruised and will be sore for a few days.. 
I'm going to drag out my soapbox now..
A drunk driver pulled out in front of them..  they t-boned her on her passenger side..  Rebekah's side of the car  took most of the impact..  Thank God she was wearing her seatbelt and the airbags opened..   her face was very bruised this morning and very swollen,  it is going down and the bruising is going away too.. 
I have always told my children don't drink and drive..  ever..  it isn't worth it..  even one drink,  because you don't know how that drink is going to affect you..  These people that do it repeatedly piss me off..  you aren't only taking your life in your hands,  you are taking the lives of innocent people in your hands.. I for one do not want that on me for the rest of my life..  How would you be affected if you knew that you killed someone or changed someone's life completely because of your selfish act of having to drink and drive??  if you have to drink,  either have a designated driver or hell..  stay home and drink.. then you don't have to go anywhere..  just stumble wherever and pass out..  I am ill!!!  Very, very ill..  we got lucky..  very very lucky,   and it is ironic that tonight on World News with Diane Sawyer they are doing a segment on drunk drivers and how do we stop them..
I want you to think the next time you are out and you are drinking..   do you really know what your threshold is??  Are you really ok to drive..  maybe use some of that money and get a cab home..  what in the long run would be better??  Cab or accident and possibly kill someone??   I just want people to think..   really think and then picture their kids with bruised faces because they couldn't not drink..
