I was almost hit while walking to my car

We are okay, but it was freaking scary!  I was carrying W and our stuff back to our car and was about 2/3 of the way across the "road" in front of the store.  A van was coming a bit down and slowed because we were crossing.  Well, a lady in the lane I'm walking towards decides he's slowing down for her and starts turning.  She didn't see me because she apparently hadn't looked that way at all.  She was booking it like a bat out of hell and since she turned really shallow she damn near hit me .  Thank god I saw her turning.  I said, "Hey.  HEY!  HEEEEEEEEEYYYY!!" and started screaming and running while clutching my kid, our crap, and a large piece of artwork.  If I hadn't run she would have hit me.  She finally noticed what was going on and stopped, rolling down her window to apologize profusely.  I couldn't say anything.  I was so shocked.  I just stared at her, stammering, while walking to my car.  Then I got a massive case of jelly arms from the adrenaline.

OMG!!! I'm glad you are ok. I would have freaked

My initial reaction was to yell at her but she was so freaked herself.  But I didn't really want to be nice so I just stared in shock.

I hate that jelly arms feeling. 

I'm glad you're okay.
