So, the first accident I've had in almost 10 years. I am so mad! It's the last thing we need to deal with. It was my fault. And for a dumb reason. We were headed home from Walmart and I was stopped at the light on 12th and Alameda. I had gotten the kids some lunch while at Walmart and the kids were eating it. The light turned green and we started to move and Lydia needed help with something so I turned half way so I could reach back and so she could hand me whatever it was she wanted me to help her with. I turned to look back up at the road and a split second later the truck in front of me slammed on his brakes. I immediatly slammed on mine but I couldn't stop fast enough. I guess the car in front of him slammed on their brakes and stopped for no reason, so he had to slam on his, the car in front of him started going again and prevented him from hitting it. They didn't want to exchange information and since it was my fault I didn't see why I would need his. So we went on our way after calling the cops and they told us since there were no injuries it would be a long time before someone would come. They told us to just exchange info if we wanted. I'm mad that it happened, but there really wasn't anything I could do to keep it from happening. The kids and I are ok. Zach and Lydia did cry and throw fits, but not because they were hurt, because their lunches ended up on the floor. Now I need to get it fixed before my sisters wedding so I can fit Chanelle and the two kids that are coming for the wedding in my car as well as have a way to transport the wedding cake. Hopefully all will work out. I do get a rental car from my insurance while it is being fixed, but it will probably end up being a car. Here are some pics.

Ouch! Sorry, I know a bit how you feel - I had a run in with the Nissan a few weeks ago! Good luck with insurances & such!
Sorry to hear that. Was it your fault? Doesn't look too bad from the pictures, glad it wasn't worse!
April, I am so sorry, It,s a scary thing being in an accident. What is that horrid phrase..."When it rains it pours" I hate that phrase because it is true! I'm having some April showers over here myself. I wish you the biggest umbrella and goulashes possible. Good luck in the flood my friend!
Hey April! I tagged you! Check out my site for details. Chanelle
