We had a pretty interesting week to say the least. It started with a bang-literally!
G and I were driving to Elissa's house to visit. It was a non-eventful trip. Gianna always falls asleep shortly after we get in the car. Words cannot describe how grateful I am that she does that.
We were literally a minute away and I heard this loud thud. It sounded like someone threw a huge snowball at the back of the car. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw lots of glittery sparkles. For a second I assumed it was snow. Then reality sunk in- there was no one around to throw snow, let alone enough snow to make such a loud thud.
After looking again I realised. The window exploded. I was now 30 seconds away from Elissa's house, but it was one of the scariest 30 seconds of my life.
I was thinking what made the window explode? Was it a bullet? Then I got really scared! I've heard stories of kids being shot by a stray bullet in the car, and parent not even realising it because they thought they were asleep. Of course G was sound asleep! I reached back and was trying to wake her, but she was very sleepy.
I pulled in to Lissa's driveway and jumped out. Gianna was fine! She was still sleeping, like nothing happened. I inspected the window and all I heard was crackling. It was the window slowly breaking into a million pieces. I was still really shaken. What caused that?
After getting G in (and yes, stripping her from head to toe, just to make sure she was 100% ok), I called the police to file a report. After coming and checking out the car, the officer concluded that he had no idea why the window exploded (there were no cars around and he said it was not a bullet).
In a way I was relieved, but I was also still freaked out. Why do all the weird one in a million things happen to me??
Later that evening G started acting fussy. Her nose was really runny, so I assumed it was a cold. The next day she acquired a cough. So she has her first bad cold. She is taking it pretty well, I just feel so bad for her. We have gone through a lot of tissues, but G would much rather wipe her nose on my arm. I guess because it's much softer.
