I've never been so grateful for a sick child.

The tension in my sewing machine gave out last night. The shop is an hour away, and they have funny business hours. It's tough for me to get there because of the little guy's school and nap schedules, among other things.

He had today off, so I had planned for us to head down there today, drop the machine off, and then hit up the outlets and Ikea. I was set to leave the house around 11, but he was complaining that he didn't feel well, so we stayed home.

There were TWO major car pileups, both on our route, and both occurring in the time frame we would have been on the road traveling through the area. One was a 30 car pileup, the other involved 86 vehicles. Holy crap.

Oh wow, that's lucky you weren't there. Hope your little guy is feeling better!

[emoflamingo]

Oh that's awful. So glad you guys are safe.

[ktzmoh]

Woah those are some serious pileups! So glad you weren't involved and I hope your little one is feeling better soon.
