Okay, so I am going to share with you my own little piece of crazy. Many of you know that I am excessively frugal and LOVE a truely great deal. Well....Meijer stores had a great deal today. If you spend $10 in Kellogg's products then you get $10 off a backpack. Well my boys are mega poptart junkies so our items of choice were of the pastery sort. They were on sale $$ so we got 9 boxes x 3 kids and this is the result!

To add to my savings euphoria Backpacks were on sale but the deal required that the price had to be over $10 (I was shooting for less than $15). Also today was Meijer Credit Card Monday where all general merchandise is 20% so if the bags were $15 you recieved $3 off with the discount. So the grand totals for the bookbags.... Destiny $2.15, Noah $1.25, Nathan $1.15 plus we have a 3 month supply of poptarts at a good price!!

We had a great weekend camping at Clifty falls but our peace was severely disrupted when on our way home we were going to stop on the interstate to let Carter go potty. A huge wreck happened before our eyes. It was the kind that you see in high speed car chase action movies where cars are flying across the road and rolling down the hill but with REAL consequences. We came to a stop after the crash and I ran to the scene to assess the situation. A woman was trapped inside.. the roof of her car was crushed in so that she could not lift her head off of her chest. She was unconscious, and had a pulse but was not breathing. All of the doors were locked so we had to reach through the busted out driver side window to turn her car off and get the key from the ignition. We could access her from the passenger side door. She was bleeding from somewhere on the back of her head and had a weak pulse. I wanted to take her from the car to begin rescue breathing (my YMCA training finally coming into play) but the husband and others around did not want to move her because of a possible neck injury but time kept passing with no help. I held a towel to the cut on her head to try to stop the bleeding as I knelt on the glass covered passenger seat. The husband did not want her moved so all I could do was stoke her hair and pray. Time passed slowly but after a few minutes she started to turn blue and I made it clear that we needed to get her out or get some breath into her. We tried forcing her seat back into a reclining position but the seat was jammed and we couldn't get it down past the smashed roof of the car. I tried to lift her out but she was to heavy for me... luckily a First Responder came on the scene and confirmed that we needed to get her out so he pulled her out by her arms as I untangled her legs from broken out driver window. The First Responder declared her dead but by the grace of God the Paramedic found a very weak pulse and began using an oxygen mask. The other paramedics arrived and I was told to find a police officer to give me cleaning stuff to get the blood off of my hands. I was actually a little appalled that all they had was hand sanitizer. I then noticed the lady that caused the accident. Her car ended up in the grassy median but was smoking badly but she was out of her car and watching as the lady was being helped by the paramedics. She was hysterical.... full of shock and expressing extreme guilt. I started to lay hands on her and pray for her and she asked me to pray for the lady in the smashed car. I prayed with her until the paramedics came to assess her. After awhile we were escorted passed the wreck so that a helicopter could come and take the first lady to a nearby hospital.
HERE IS A REPORT FROM A LOCAL PAPER THIS MORNING
One of those wrecks was reported at 3:54 p.m. Sunday near the 57-mile marker in Bartholomew County. According to a report from Indiana State Police Trooper Jared Black, the wreck occurred as two vehicles drove north on Interstate 65. The names of the drivers, their conditions and their hometowns were not available at press time this morning. Black said the first vehicle, which was in the passing lane, attempted to move to the driving lane and the driver did not see the second vehicle. The vehicles then hit, sending one into the median and the other onto the shoulder of I-65, police reported. One of the two motorists was flown to Methodist Hospital by helicopter while the second was taken to Schneck Medical Center in Seymour. The interstate was closed for two hours, causing a backup of seven miles, police said. Black was assisted by officers with the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department and firefighters from Jonesville and Redding Township.
PLEASE PRAY for this woman and the woman that hit her. Also of less importance please pray for me; I am having trouble sleeping not knowing what happened to the lady.
