My Worst Fear!

I am very much an anxious person.  I have a tendency to think the worst and always preparing myself for bad news.  Well I generally know when Nick will be calling me and freak out when he calls me at times that I think he should not be calling me.  This holds especially true for times that I know he should be driving.  If he calls me on his commute I immediately think he has been in a wreck.  I don't know why I do this, but I cannot help it.  When he does call me in the morning, which is rare, it usually is to tell me something he forgot to do.  But this morning was different.  He called to tell me he was in a wreck, truly one of my worst fears.  Luckily, it was not a bad wreck and even more lucky it was not his fault.  He was stopped at a light, waiting to turn right and someone bumped into him.  I am so glad it did not push him into the very busy oncoming traffic and do more damage.  He called me to tell me what had happened and he got all of the information.  I said to make sure that it is obvious it was her fault or call the police.  I was worried the rest of the day because of my fear coming true.  I was scared he had downplayed the wreck because he knew my fears.  When he got home he was pretty sore and his shoulder hurt, so of course the nice wife I am gave him a back massage.  The car's bumper had just come disconnected by the tire, it really wasn't that bad.  But I am no mechanic and they always seem to find something wrong.  Nick spent half of the day on the phone with insurance and repair people, which I wasn't too happy about.  The Altima came with free oil changes and its first one was scheduled for Thursday, so we had to cancel that.  Our poor brand new car doesn't even have a stain from the kids and it has already gotten in a wreck.  It is only three months old.  Sometime I wonder if it wasn't for bad luck we would have no luck at all!  I am very thankful that Nick is alright, I just wish now that I would not be so anxious about wrecks, but I think I now will be even worse.  Post and Carry on with the rest of your day.
