The good, the bad, and the adorable!

What should I say first? The good news or the bad? Well, I guess I'll start with the bad...
I read-ended someone yesterday. It was awful. I've never been in a wreck before. Well, I have been in the car but never as the driver. It was on one of those entrance ramps where you merge with the other cars. I was looking over my shoulder and thought it was clear then turned forward and there was a car right in front of me. I slammed on my breaks but *SMACK* we went. Made me feel really stooopid. Thankfully it wasn't too bad, Libby wasn't fazed at all, she just chilled out in her seat and then went to sleep while we waited for the policemen. The guys I hit were really nice. The driver was mad at first but then he softened up. I was really proud of myself, no crying or hysterics. I just stayed calm and didn't get upset. I didn't get a ticket but we're going to have to get my car fixed and I'm sure our insurance will go up. Makes me so frustrated after all the work I've been doing lately to save money and pay off debts. (we just paid off my car!!) But oh well, as my mom said, thats why we have insurance!! And thank the Lord it wasn't too bad and that no one was hurt. Moving on...
The good: I have to stay at home! That means I can get the house organized and I can cook and bake a lot. Today I'm going to make some bread and some oatmeal cookies. Plus, some chicken and other stuff.
Also, another good thing (hopefully) remember all my complaining about my eye troubles when I was pregnant? I just thought all my contact issues were due to changing hormones so I just gave up and wore glasses. Saturday morning we went to the eye doctor and he gave me the news that I have an infection! Yah! It's just sitting there on my eyeball and whenever I put in contacts it would flair up and make my eye turn red!! So I have to put two different types of drops in my eyes for a week and then in about another week I'm going in again. And hopefully it will have cleared up so I can wear contacts again. Crazy, huh? I can't believe I never went in before! I guess I thought an exam would be really expensive but I went to a doc who takes our insurance and our co-pay was $5!!! Another forehead slapper moment. Lets home the evil infection will be gone by the 23rd!
Four weeks from today we'll be in TX!!! That is fabulous news!! Libby and I will be in that awesome state for 10 days!! I can't wait to introduce her to her "home state". Like I told Vincent (our landlord buddy) "Being born in a barn does not make one a cow!" We'll get our little girl to TX just as soon as possible, she is NOT a Yankee!!
Lib is asleep so I'm going to get going on those cookies but first here are some pics for you. (the adorable part of the post!)
