almost dosen't count.

One of my neighbor's favorite sayings that she learned from her mother is that almost doesn't count - or maybe it's near misses don't count. Well you get the idea. Today was one of those days. My work day was long and just sucked. Then on the way home I was within a foot or two of being in a car accident. Yeah almost doesn't count but it scares the shit out of you some times. I stopped within a foot or 2 (ok it may have been more but it felt like less) of the car in front of me's back passenger door on the highway. Lucky for me the person behind me was also not someone who rode bumpers (or at least didn't today) so she also stopped in plenty of time - I don't think there was actually a car damaged in the incident though the one in front of me may have hit the guard rail. I was glad to get home today and just play with Evelyn. Her laughing certainly helped my mood improve.
