Bambi shouldnt have done it




So at first I wasn't going to blog about this nerve shaking experience but my cousin Tyf thought it would be a good blog. The other day as I was off to work on a rainy morning I was enjoying my ride just listening to the radio and wishing a bit that i was still warmly nuzzled and asleep next to Mr. Dasso, and the all the sudden as though it was just dropped out of the ski i see these little black beady eyes starring at me on the right side of my car as though she was thinking "lady what the heck are you doing?" I realized then as I was driving my 50 mph vehicle (it was the speed limit BTW) that i was going to hit this deer and it could do serious damage so what did i do you ask with my cat like reflexes? I SWERVED!! I know I know they say don't do that cause you can cause a bigger accident but all I could think of is that I do NOT want this thing coming through my front windshield and killing me. I will say though I only swerved into the middle median which is intended for turning purposes, however now I'm thinking its really there for incidences like this because the road is so close to the mouth of the canyon and people know that people react as I did. Besides its a natural reaction right, to move if something is going to hit you? Well anyways off my soapbox it happened that I swerved enough that the poor deer only hit my side mirror and knocking the mirror part out and she slid across the side of my car leaving behind lovely chunks of fur in the part of the window where the rubber meets. I frantically pulled over and got out of my car i noticed that the deer had gotten up and ran away however I still felt horrible and realized I had NO idea if i need to call the police so I tried to call my husband and mind way through the dialing remembered he had left his phone at the boys house. I called 5 out of the 6 boys and no answer so I called my sister and by this time I was so frustrated I was crying so hard that my sleeping sister had a difficult time understanding me. She later told me that she at first only understood through my weeping words Hit with car - Rob cant call - don't know what to do. She later brought me flowers at work which indeed made my day. THANK YOU MY FAVORITE SISTER!! Needless to say I got to work safely and took down the deer calender that so lovely hung near my desk (NOT BY MY DOING DID IT HANG THERE) and got a hug from a sympathetic colleague and took deep breathes. Boy it was a day because my camera died to when i went to go take pictures my damages for my car but Que va ser. I just wish Bambi would have know that she shouldn't have done it we all would have had a better day.
