trip to washington/wreck/venting

edited June 2011 in Military moms
So I have been busy no time for preggly. My husband and I left for Washington Thursday. Now we are stuck in Indianapolis indian till Monday. We had a car accident now with no car and no idea were the collision repair place is. Just that Monday they will be open then we can talk too them. Whens the wrecker took the car he did not tell us that. So we left all our stuff in the car. Important papers computers clothes food, my babies diapers everything we were suppose to get to the car before they closed according to our time frame but the car rental place wouldn't let us rent a car because they needed our claim number from usaa and usaa had closed by the time we tried to call. I sswear if something happens to our stuff I am going to go crazy. We have too make it to washington by the 10 of june according to my husbands report date and now this. I am so stressed. When the wreck happened I freaked out my 9 month daughters car seat got pushed up some how and it scared he she just cried she wasn't hurt and I when I held her she calmed down. My husband feels a little pain in his neck. But me my elbow is throbbing my neck and head are to. And my whole body is sore. My baby is still moving so I am sure everything is fine. I am not sure if I hit my head because I was so worked up all I was worried about was my daughter. Ugh now the wreck was an accident for both no one is really at fault but the car did hit me. No one is hurt just my car. The other car just needs a bumper. I have had people say sue her and others say don't. I am so confused. And it had to happen right when my husband and I have no family or anything around we know. I just feel like crying. I feel like all this is my fault I was the one driving and should have been more cautious in an unfamialar place.

  • Thank God you all are ok!
  • I am just really glad all 4 of you are okay; keep in mind that is the most important thing of all. We all screw up & accidents happen. Don't beat yourself up over it & try to get some rest. I hope the paperwork gets cleared up super fast & you can get back on your way.
  • I just don't know what to do and all the papers for him to contact someone in an emergency for the army is all in the car.
  • When it rains it pours! Praying!
  • @vette_devil thanks and I hope so too. We have been lucky very friendly people at least were we are staying and in downtown.
  • @Kate_K thank you. I am doing the same. I know there is a reason it happened it just really sucks right now.
  • Yeah its not your fault! Things like this just happen!
  • There isn't annnnyone who can get you after hours emergency access to your car? If the people around you are nice, maybe someone would be willing to help you locate the car & the lot owner or manager to at least collect your valuables & papers...?
  • We have been trying. The people are friendly but they can only do so much. I found out around 8 this evening I may be able to contact the local police and get help
  • Im glad u guys are ok hun....that mst have been scary prayers for u guys to mke it to all ur dstinations safe. Take care.
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • The police would be a great option; they should have access 24/7 & be able to escort you if nessecary. If it doesn't work out, I agree with @TricesBaby in saying take tomorrow to try & relax & get your mental ducks in a row before things get hectic. Good luck, sweetie. :)
  • @August22baby ft. Lewis is were we are going for now.
  • wow well i bet if he calls his new boss on base and tell them what happen they wont give him a hard time about being late! just have him all them when you get your papers! everything will work out!
  • @Proudmommy8789 I think her hubby is in the military. His boss is the federal government and they do not care that he got in an accident. He has a report date and he has to be there by then.
  • my husband is in the air force. i said his boss cause the army has differnt names for their upper ranks. i didnt want to say the wrong title. i really think if he calls them and tells them he will get a couple extra days.
  • @Proudmommy8789 i didn't mean for that to sound bitchy. I just know that I have moved several times with the military and they did not care what happened, my hubby had to report or risk being AWOL. Maybe they were just being jerks.
  • @headersue no you were fine. i also sounded bitchy. but i wasnt trying to be! yeah i just asked my hubby about it and he said that the army doesnt treat there people like people with feelings. so glab mines in the airforce!
  • @Proudmommy8789 I hear ya. The Army sometimes forgets that their soldiers are also human beings and that sh*t happens!
  • @heaadersue i just reallyhope that her husband can get a couple extra days which i think he might cause its not like he over slept or was sight seeing
  • @Proudmommy8789 we are good on days if we can leave tomorrow.
  • thats good!! i hope you can!! good luck and keep us updated!!
  • @Proudmommy8789 yes I hope so. Now I can't sleep because I am so ready to get moving. Being pregnant is not helping emotionally right now.
  • well youll be able to sleep in the car! do you know what kind of car you will be able to rent?
  • @Proudmommy8789 no idea just know it will be an suv of some type for all our stuff and comfort. I can sleep there but I need to be ready for 6 am lol to get everything situated to leave. So much to do. Can't wait till we can get settled into our new home.
  • are you going to live on base? my hubby is stationed at eglin afb, fl!! which i hate the area but we are only 6.5 hours away from family! but we want to go either to SC or Wash. next. dont know yet
