We're on the road to AZ. A two lane in each direction road.
It just happens to be completely shut down due to an accident. And it's almost 90 degrees out, but I have only a quarter tank of gas so we can't sit with the AC on.
Life flight helicopter just landed up ahead.
Taking a moment to be thankful we are only inconvenienced, and not involved.
We're moving in the emergency lane now!
We used to revel in the "new perfect" that was our life. Raising a beautiful girl with multiple special needs showed us that "perfect" is all in our minds. Emily's life was perfect. It was happy, it was brilliant. She was social, outgoing, silly, and ticklish. Now we are learning to get through life without our "Perfect Peanut" in it. This is most certainly NOT a new kind of perfect.

HATE,HATE those roads!!!
Safe travels and have a great trip.
Oh no! I hope you get moving soon and I hope Peanut is able to stay cool and comfortable.
Traffic jams make me grumpy! But, stopping to be thankful that it wasn't you, sure can change my attitude quickly! Be safe! Hope you have quick travels the rest of the way! Hugs!!!
Had someone drop due to heat exhaustion or something else while walking just outside our subdivision once--closing the only road in or out with the life flight helicopter. That cleared soon and we were only 10 min. late to M's swim lesson. And I was glad to be 10 min. late because my neighbor ended up being okay.
Hope you've gotten to a gas station and all comfortable and cool!
Oh no!!!! That's awful. Hope you guys get out soon!
Oh man, be careful! On our way down there was a huge accident in Nevada. Cars were at a dead stop for miles. People were out of their cars and walking around. I'm so glad we weren't on that side!
Holy crap is right! Stay cool and stay safe. I'm VERY thankful you are not involved. Happy travles!
I love your attitude of thankfulness: "inconvenienced and not involved."
