There are a few times in you life where you heart literally stops....not skips a beat....stops.
Andrew's teachers have taught him my cell phone number in case of an emergency. He uses it all the time.
If I am upstairs and he isn't....he calls.
When I am at work, he calls he gives me the blow by blow several times during the night.
Last night:
Call # 1 Hannah was being mean.
Call # 2 He needed to talk to a grown up or Dad.
Call # 3 Never mind he found Dad.
Call # 4 He couldn't talk to Dad because he had to go and get Alex. Alex "had total the car in a ditch."
My son in a ditch.
beating stopped.
Alex is ok.
Alex is a very good driver...he really is,
that is why they call them accidents
I think it is interesting that Alex and Ben were playing "crash" and then....
So Here is what happened. A skunk ran across the road and Alex swerved to miss it.He ended up in a ditch. 
The car was not totaled , here is one view. The drivers door will not open but the pictures don't do it justice. 
I am sad that we are our of a second car for awhile, but metal and cars can be fixed or replaced. I am ELATED Alex is ok,
and my heart can beat again

How very scary! I'm not looking forward to that. No thanks.
Scary, scary. I'm glad he's ok.
Ack!!!
So glad he's okay!!!
(((hugs)))
Glad he's ok. You're absolutely right... the car can be repaired much easier than Alex can!
I've run over a few animals in my time. Call me heartless, but making any effort to avoid a small animal that I know won't cause damage to my car isn't worth the effort (or danger) to me.
Having said that, I was driving home from a small-town airport last night when I rounded a bend and my lights shown upon some glossy-eyed little critter. As I got closer, I realized it was... a skunk!
Nightmarish thoughts ran through my head of the horrible smell that would be plastered all over my car should I hit this animal.
If there is any small beastie worth swerving to avoid, it is definitely a skunk.
My heart always takes a jump any time I get an unexpected call. Glad to hear all is well. I, too, am not looking forward to handing keys over to the kids.
Maybe I don't want Zach to get his license (he's still working on it.) I don't worry about my hubby driving, but when it's one of my kids... I'm so glad things are fine.
Yes, that would make the heart stop. I'm glad he is okay!
