A lesson learned while sitting in Traffic

This morning just like every morning the wonderful sound of the alarm clock woke me up at 5:45. I stumbled out of bed and into the bathroom then into the shower and continued to get ready. At 6:40 I wake up the little monkey and at 7:00 I'm walking out the door. Now I take Sandra to Michaels (he takes his daughter and Sandra to school in the mornings) and to get there I have to get on Hwy 27 North. To go to work from there I obviously have to get on Hwy 27 South. So I was driving my daily path when I realized that traffic was REALLY bad for going North at 7:05 in the morning. Then I noticed that all the traffic was having to turn around and get on 27 South and go another way. So I followed the line of cars, turned the radio to another station to try and catch the morning traffic. I found another way to go, and obviously I had to take that same way to go to work. So instead of it taking me 5 mins o get to work, it took me 55 mins to get to work, therefore if I wasn't the little prepared worry wort, who always leaves early to make sure I'm there on time, I would have been late. I actually walked through the door at 8:15. Anywho, as I was sitting in traffic trying to find another way to get Sandra to Michaels, the thought, what if that is mom? Crossed my mind. My mom drives that way to work every morning...so the little turns in my stomache began then I thought to myself Heather its 7:20 mom usually gets to work at 7:00 she would have already been at work when this happened. But I didn't know when the wreck actually happened I just knew there was one. I normally would have called her but my nonforgetful boyfriend didn't pay the phone bill so I didn't have my cell phone with me. I in no way shape or form have road rage....i don't lie either lol. Okay OKay so I have the worse case of road rage possible I think. I'm AWFUL! I yell, hit, whatever I can when someone cuts me off, or when the traffic is at a stop and we arent moving, or when someone is sitting at a red light waiting to turn right and they can go but just wont! *calming myself down* So me being the non raod rager that I am, was sitting there "patiently" waiting for the cars to go so that I could get to work. Then something ...God maybe I'm not sure....hit me, and said Heather shut up and be happy that it isnt you in that wreck. So I prayed and said God, this wreck looks bad just because they had the raod blocked off so that you couldnt even see the actually wreck, you just knew there was one. If anyone is hurt please be with them, and if someone doesnt make it, be with their families. Now....I get to work and Angie (my boss) is standing at my desk and she says "call your mom shes worried about you". So I found out it wasnt my mom...I called mom and she said Heather I was so worried, I've been a nervous wreck. I usually get to work at 8:00 so when I wasnt there when my mom called it scared her even more. I dont have to be here until 8:15 but I get here at 8:00 usually. My mom told me that the wreck was really bad and she had not stopped worrying since she heard about it. Appearantly there was a car driving on 27 North and the wrecked somehow I'm not sure if they hit another car or lost control or what but they ended up on 27 South and they were ejected from the car. They didn't make it...So while I was in my car, safe and perfectly fine...raving and ranting because the cars wouldnt go....someone else was dying, a family was finding out their loved one would not be coming home that evening.

Kinda makes you think huh?
