It was after 9:pm before we finished cleaning up the church. As it was late, we left directly from there. We did not have any problems with our little up-chuck princesses, so we were doing pretty good that day. Everything went off without a hitch.
Then before we could get to Temecula, the roads turned into a parking lot. Apparently they were doing some road construction (although there was no warnings or signs). We had no idea what the problem was until we were in the thick of it. It took us an extra two hours to get through something like a 13 mile stretch. The kids took a short nap but the stop and go traffic woke them up. They were tired and wondering why we were not hardly moving.
That's when we got rear ended! The driver in back of us fell asleep and rammed into the back of my truck. The girls were so scared. They were tired and crying and at the edge of being hysterical. It was a nightmare. Luckily, my vehicle is pretty tough and only suffered a little damage. You can't really see it without really looking but basically the back spare tire got shoved into the car. So there is a big dent under the spare but the door still works fine.
Of course the driver was driving her parents car and the insurance was lapsed a whole month. It was just too much.
We didn't get the girls in bed until just after 1:am. We did't get to bed probably for another hour after that. The family will have to excuse us from going down again to visit any time soon. It was a nightmare and it will take us some time to recover from it!
