Is it Possible!?!?
Pic of the Day ~ Becca and her Grandpa
lol oh the irony that no one specifically guessed that our insanely bad luck has continued and we were involved in yet another car accident *sigh*
The four of us were happily cruising down the interstate, excited to arrive at the Happiest Place on Earth, we can see the exit to Anaheim … we are so close … suddenly traffic comes to a stop, as it often does on the freeway … I am prepared, step on the brake and come to a stop with tons of room … wait for the cars to start to move (yup I was driving this time) .. when suddenly … BAM! The car that had stopped behind us was hit at about 45 miles per hour and therefore nails us HARD! *sigh* Becca starts screaming, thankfully because she was startled and afraid, not because she had any visiable injuries (and is still happy as can be so thankfully unharmed). J cannot get out of the car because the frame has shifted to a crazy degree. My Dad appears to come out unscathed, same with J. I am very sore on my left side (that is also the side I always carry Becca so that does not help). But no one is hurt badly, thank God.
I am still very much in shock that we have yet again been involved in an accident and our lives thrown into chaos. We just got the car back from the last not-our-fault accident. I am not sure how many more times we can cheat death or serious injury. I very much want to go home, I am finding this country very scary and stressful, yet part of me loves the good adventures just as much, as well as my wonderful caring friends here.
We need to purchase a new car seat now that ours has been involved in an accident. Of course, American car seats are not legal in Canada due to different car seat regulations (weirdly we are allowed Canadian car seats here though). I am sure there are some seats that are identical in both countries, just the country stickers differ, however no one will ever verify that officially. We have decided to just get a car seat here and deal with Canada later (our car insurance covers the replacement, however if we buy it from Canada they will not pay for shipping, can you imagine the cost of shipping?!?!)
I am trying really really hard not to be discouraged and down with all the crap to wade through here. We finally got Becca’s new frames so she is free from duct tape. She had another eye appointment this morning, however that is a tale I will tell tomorrow. My Dad is flying home tomorrow 
, however it has been so awesome to have him here (even through the sucky times, we made the most of it and had a lot of fun!). I will be very sad to take him to the airport tomorrow, yet I think Becca will miss him even more than I will…
Are. you. SERIOUS?? Another accident?! WTF? Thank God you’re all OK.
LA traffic is the worst. I think statistically, there’s like a 1 in 5 chance you’ll be in an accident when you’re driving down there.
As someone who was born and raised in California and loves this state, I still must say, uh, have you considered moving back to Canada? I think you’d be safer.
Can’t believe it!
OMG! I am so glad you guys are all ok. I can`t believe the amount of crap you have had to go through since you moved to the US. Let`s hope that you have just gotten all your bad things for life out of the way in one go and everything will be roses from now on!!
CRAZY
I remember my car was hit twice while in a parked position w/ in 2 wks. But on top of that, I’ve been in about 5 car accidents in the last 5 yrs none of them were ever my fault so thankfully my car insurance has never gone up.
say it ain’t so! another accident. Urrgh!!!!!!!!! so glad everyone’s ok.
I’m so glad you’re okay. Are you sure the US car seats are illegal? They might just be illegal to sell, not to use. Sort of like pot.
Praise God! Hope your left side is feeling much better now.
Take Care and God Bless You All.
Wow!! Another accident!?! That’s crazy. Must be a record or something. I’m glad you all are ok and not seriouslly injured. How does your side feel today? Any better??
Oh lord! I am glad you all are ok!
OMG!!! I cannot believe it was another car accident! This is unreal. I seriously think you guys should just pack & come home, lol.
Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry to hear of this second accident! I’m glad that you’re all safe.
Oh I am so sorry to hear about this car accident! Thank goodness none of you were seriously injured. I can’t get over the amount of bad luck you have had here!
Looks like Becca has been enjoying having her grandpa around; sorry his visit is already coming to an end
Crazy, crazy driving conditions.
Shudders.
I am thankful that nobody was hurt! Man, that stinks!
Yikes. Rear-ending can pack quite a wallop. Glad you’ve gotten physicals to check out what’s what.
[...] It was our first trip back since our last fateful trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. Sadly, I have to admit I was terrified on that freeway!! Yet we made it and Becca and I had a fabulous day! We hit a few rides that are her favorites, like the Dumbo ride, then went over to California Adventure to hang out in Bug Land. Bug Land is a huge water park with rides, and it was HOT out so it was a nice relief from the heat. [...]
