..."Accident"...

Today I started back at the Montessori after having the summer off.  It was a great day filled with old friends, new faces, cute little runny noses and    leg-hugs from little people.  I love my job.  Naturally I was hoping to get a good night of sleep last night.  I got everything ready so I could just plop in bed and drift off to dream-land.  Why is it that Murphy's law has to exist?  Last night Murphy just couldn't let me be.

This morning at 5:40 my cell phone rings.  "What the heck" Dave says a little startled.  It is Shaney on the other line.  I hear a quiet, timid voice on the other side say, "mmrmmrmmr Accident" and then I lose the connection.  "Oh my gosh, Dave!  Shaney has been in an accident" I exclaim.  "Okay, calm down mama", I say to myself. 

At this moment, no matter how much I desire to be calm inside, I am frantic!  Why would Shaney be out at 6:40 (Mountain time) in the morning?  And what happened?  I take a deep breath, I hit the call button and wait...

"Sorry mom", Shaney says, "It was an accident to call you". 

Needless to say, neither Dave nor I fell back to sleep.  And we were grateful that everything was okay.  And prayers really are heard.  And I hope to sleep really well tonight!
