I was just a split second away from being t-boned this morning. Where I live, I have to cross a busy two lane street to go left to head to work. Every morning is the same.I inch out waiting for the traffic that is crossing in front to get a red light and wait for cars to stop and make a gap for me to cross. My opening came and as I began across the street and was just about into the median where I would then merge into traffic I suddenly saw this huge SUV barreling down the median and just slammed on my brakes as he slammed on his and swerved into the opposite lanes.just barely missing me. One split second. One split second sooner and he would have plowed right into my door and that would be it. All these thoughts have been racing through my mind since. This is what I have been secretly wishing for. Because I cant hurt my family by harming myself, I have had this secret wish for an accident to take me out. So as awful as it sounds there is a part of me that is feeling like I just missed my chance. So here I am sitting here actually sort of upset and wondering why am I still here? A split second took Leonard from me and I just want the same now. I am actually upset that he/she did not hit me. I am realizing now that I am worse off than I know. It is one thing to have these sometime feelings of wishing something would happen to me but to then have it be so close to happening and not and being upset and let down that it did not is a different story. I think I need professional help.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
You might be down for the count, but my money is on you. You will make your way one day at a time and end up at the top. I believe in you.
Your feelings have been felt here too. It's kind of a gift, we can take chances and be bold (not to be confused with being reckless and careless with the gift of life) because the worst has happened. I intend to use that courage to grow my business and finish my book. I look forward to seeing what you do Sheila. xo Sue
