This should be the start of Spring up here and we&#8217;re hoping so. Yesterday was nice with the sun warming up the mountains while the wind reminded us of just where we live.<\/p>\n<p>Harley, Mojo and I had a fun filled busy day, or at least they did. I spent most of the day babysitting them. Finally at 3:20 I went to pick up Jag and then we were off to get Ty. About 2 blocks from Ty&#8217;s school a school bus was backing into a parking lot and stopped traffic. As I stopped I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a Jeep Cherokee not slowing down. I honked my horn and the little girl looked up but still smacked into the back of our car going between 20 and 30 miles an hour if I had to guess. Of course the girl was texting. We exchanged info and headed to school to pick up Ty. As soon as I arrived home I called our insurance company. The girl, 16 years old, texted me that she knew it was her fault (admitting guilt) but that she wasn&#8217;t on the best terms with her parents and could we handle this without them. Of course I had already called the insurance company. I also then called her insurance company and explained the situation and they knew her dad as the car was insured under a company policy of her dad&#8217;s company. I&#8217;m sure she had an uncomfortable night but no way you can not document this. Jag and I both have headaches and will get x-rays today sometime in the afternoon. The car will need a few thousand dollars worth of work too. My neck is still stiff this morning and I still have a bit of a headache, what fun. So, don&#8217;t text and drive!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m off to the distributor this morning and a derm appointment with Libby. I need to be down there by 8:30 and should be back before noon. That means Harley will be in her crate for 3 or 4 hours. I need to shower and get moving and then get the pup up for breakfast. Have a great day, GB.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s May 1st! This should be the start of Spring up here and we&#8217;re hoping so.
