UPDATE PICTURE(JUNE 27th):(below)THIS IS THE SPACE I WAS STUCK IN,The car was upside down,so I was hanging upside down in my seat belt w/ most of my hair wrapped around the seatbelt,which I bgan ripping out that hair to get flipped back right side up.The 2 front door windows were too sunken in the wet ground to get out,so I got out thru the back windshield.
I F'ING DID IT AGAIN!
THIS time I flipped my car not twice but THREE FUCKING TIMES! I had just brought A'million back to Dallas and was heading home on Interstate 20,and YESSS I was exhausted,but I was trying to get some of his cheeto's out from under my lap,off my car seat.Next thing I kn0w,I'm trying to straighten out my car,as I was in the other lane.When I tried to get back over a car had changed lanes,and I jerked my wheel and off the side of the road I skidded,flipping my Pontiac Grand Am end over end landing in water and mud upside down.Had to rip my wet muddy hair from around the seat belt to get off of my head and turned over.All I could hear was people yelling "can you say your name"? "Are you ok"? "Are you alone,is there another person in there with you"? The windows were no way out.Finally somebody yelled for me to cover my face,so I did.They kicked out the back windshield and told me to crawl out.I kept saying "I can't,I can't"!! Well...I did.I turned myself sideways and kept pushing with one foot until I could see a guys face and I said "can u PULL me"? Someone else yelled "don't pull her"! Damnnn....so I had to keep inching my way up under this little tiny crawl space until I made it out.Someone MADE me roll over and lay still untilo the ambulence came.
Luckily,no broken bones.Just a swollen jaw where a toothe got knocked out(it was already needing a root canal).A pulled muscle,sprained ankle,a few cuts,knots bumps and bruises and a friggin broken heart.
But this certainly ISN'T the way I wanted to use my pd vacation days doggone-it.
People keep saying that God must have something in store for me.I'm sorry,but I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THAT WOULD BE!!!
EDIT---->I think I accidently deleted this link,when I put the pix in...but if you get a second,I hope you will go please check this site out.The thing about all this is: at least I didn't wind up having to do THIS------>http://fullapologies.com/

I would say that you have the worst luck with machines of the auto persuasion but that would be an understatement. Might I recommend a PSP and the games Wipeout Pure and Wipeout Pulse to satisfy that need for speed and crash-'em-up-bang affinity you have? I can't seem to quit hugging the walls on the tracks then my energy goes critical and, never fails, I run into a damn mine someone pooped out onto the track and go boom. The good thing about video games is...no injuries. Can't say the same for the wounded pride and broken heart though.
Geeeeezzzzuuuuuuuzzzzzzzz!!!!!!
Ok If I am ever in a car with you, I DRIVE!!!!!!!!!
You got a Clydesdale horseshoe up you butt when it comes to surviving accidents but no feakin luck with cars.
In fact I would lend you any thing of mine BUT my car LOL
I'mn glad you didn't get hurt more than you did but you have to learn and remember it's easier to clean the car when it's parked.
oh dear, i'm sorry to hear about the accident but i'm glad to hear you're safe.. thank God.. AND I'm glad A-million wasn't in there!
Okay Tammi I am never riding with you. That being said i'm glad you are okay. I know it was a scary, awful experience but it could have been SO much worse. Thank God A'Million wasn't with you either. Hugs honey.
DJ~~
The way nthings are looking,I'd prolly wreck out a frickin video game,rendering IT useless!!
WALKER~~So does that mean the road trip I had planned for you and I(ME DRIVING,OF COURSE) is that out of the question.Oh...wait!CLEAN?Yea,verrrry funny.I was upside down on my head with water and mud wrapping my hair around the seatbelt.Mud,dear.So I don't think I was trying to clean that ucker.Matter of fact,after I ripped alot of my hair out from around the seatbelt,turned myself into a semi upright position and crawled out tye back glass some guy kicked out...I had mud on every inch of my body.My hair had big packs of mud all through it.It turned my blonde to shit-brown.So nahhhh,I can think of better ways to wash a car.
LETTI~~That's exactly what I kept thanking the Man above for.The fact that A'million was droppe off w/ his Mom like 30 minutes prior to the accident.
MONOGRAM QUEEN~~OK,so you and Walker have something in common,huh?You won't be riding w/ me anytime soon...if EVER?And the 30 plus bystanders that stopped on the freeway kept saying stuff like "Is she alive"?and Oh hun,when the paramedics picked UP that back-breaking board they had me laying on,I glimpsed over at the car,and tears just popped out.Upside down and flattened.So yea.It COULD have been worse.I had a passing thought while I was laying flat on my back waiting on the ambulence,and like an idiot said it outloud to like 20 people surrounding me.Some guy said"God must have plans for you to have made it out of THAT"!! and I said "I don't know what that could be....why didn't He just let me die"!!!!!Then everyone started talking at once! That was one of the dumbest things I've prolly let fly out of my piehole!
Just think if I drive you can do anything you want in the car.
Besides if you are here I would know where everything is anyway.
I'm just happy you weren;t hurt, hair grows back but we can't get another Tammi :)
What IS it about you and motor vehicles??
I'm SO glad to read that you're ok. Pretty banged up and definitely muddy (you dirty girl you), but ok all the same. Thank goodness there were people around to help you. And thank god it was on your way home AFTER dropping off A'Million.
Hope you're well on your way to feeling lots better hun. *gentle hugs*
You MIGHT wreck the hovercraft. THe console...well only if you threw the controller at it REALLY hard. *looking through my library* Ummm...Modified Combat Air Heroes (aka M.A.C.H.)...I think that one would work. If you can fly a car you can fly a fighter jet.
WALKER~~ So does this mean I STILL can't convince you to let me drive?(Was that a no---or a hellll no?)
LISA~~I'm feeling more sore every stinkin day....but the swelling in places like my ankle seems to be going down.Seems like we've had this conversation before,huh?
DJ DJ DJ~~Odd that you shpuld say that...cuz I really did feel sorta airborn.It happened SO fast,but in a wierd way,in slow motion.I felt the 1st thud and glass breaking,then a sort of quiteness,then BAM! Then another airborn feeling,the BAM! Again....I suppose it was me flipping over and over.But nahhhh,I don't even think I wanna play any video games right now.I got a board behind me w/ pillows keeping my neck straight.
You are so lucky that you are alive hun. Everything happens for a reason, hopefully one day you will find out what they are. x x x
SARAH~~
I KNOW how lame this must sound.Before I even say it I wanna slap myself!
BUT WHAT COULD GOD POSSIBLY BE TRYING TO TELL ME---BETTER YET WHAT BLAKETY_BLANKETY REASON?? EVERYONE SAYS Sxxxx HAPPENS FOR A REASON! BUT WHAT WHAT WHAT REASON????
(forgive the caps sarah...that's in no way intended to look like I'm yelling at you)
I'M JUST SOOOOOOO ANGRY AT MYSELF I COULD JUST SNATCH THE REST OF MY FUCKING HAIR OUT!!!!
SARAH~~
PLEASE hun,don't take me the wrong way.I DO understand what everyone is saying about things happen for a reason....I just can't seem to find ONE damn logical reason why.
HOLY CRAP! Glad you are okay.
How many frigging accidents have you been in? Maybe God wants you to be a stunt driver, a demolition derby driver or he wants you to start taking public transportation.
BTEXPRESS~~
I've been in several in the last couple of years.I don't understand it,really.Growing up I NEVER had car accidents.It's like lately.The last 5 years,I've had at least one or 2 a year.Now my license are in jeapordy,I think.But I'm not complaining.I suppose people like me deserve to be taken off the road.God only knows why the last time I flipped my Kia twice,I didn't break more than my necvk and arm,or worse...hurt someone else.This time too.I'm always going down the road talking on my cell,puttingon makeup,touching up nail polish,even writing things.
I feel like I'm no better than a drunk driver.Had I been paying closer attention,these wrecks may never have took place.
The deer in the road wreck....I don't know about that one.But that split second decision cost me dearly.Nearly my life on top of my hair cutting career.
That apology link I added is a tear jerker,btw.
Please Lord, show Tammi what her calling is before she kills herself. Feel better, sweetie. I know!!! He means for you to marry a doctor. After all where else are you gonna meet him if not in a hospital.
HOLY CRAP!!! I cannot believe that happened to you...how AWFUL!!! I sure hope you're feeling better...someone was watching over you girl, for you to only have a sore jaw, some bumps and bruises and a missing tooth!!!
Oh wow! That's awful. I'm so glad you're okay.
I can't believe you are okay after rolling over so many times.
There's definitly something great you're destined for!
I'm off to read the 'fullapologies' site now...
I just read it all, that was heartwrenching. I can't imagine being in either one of the people's shoes.
Well, figured I'd suggest the games. Damn glad you're ok though! Next time you decide you wanna fly, Get a PSP and come talk to me. I'll set ya up and we can go head to head :D
Ok, that's what I get for commenting from an alternate email.
Seeing as how I can't comment properly, be careful about consulting me on video games. Right now I'm building Tony Montana's criminal empire in Miami on Scarface: Money, Power, Respect.
It's a wonder I didn't become a completely evil dickhead with some of the games I play.
HOLY CRAP! I'm surprised you came out relatively unscathed.
Gezzz, that's ugly.
Good thing you got a skinny butt to squeeze out of that mess.
You're a very lucky lady
Holy Cow!!! Thats one smashed up car! I got chills seeing those pis. Hope your doing ok.
Wow... This must have been an awful experience. But you lived through it... because God has a plan for you. It wasn't your time to go...
You son is blessed that you are still alive, to take care of him and watch him grow.
To quote Jeremy Irons in Die Hard With A Vengeance...
Good Lord!
Hmmm...maybe the reason was you needed a new car. Maybe God wanted you to stay alive cause he was just so tired of you driving that car around. He's probably yearning for a change, like say a red little sportscar.
Yup. I think that's the reason. You should buy a red car.
No? I thought it was logical...
That's quite the wreck. Nice one!
I agree that perhaps it's God's way of telling you to get a new car, but I don't think that 'red' is the colour he wants you to get. You have to get a brown, mud brown, car.
I once totalled a car as well, years ago. Flipped it a couple of times. Looking back, in my warped way, it was 'fun'. Yep, that kind of thinking could be one reason why I'm in recovery.
Anyway, nice one!
UuGH!
I still miss my car...it didn't look even 2 years old---if THAT BEFORE the crash-ola
UPDATE~~~~YEA IT'S ME~~TAMMI
DAMMIT! I MAY AS WELL DO IT HERE CUZ I DONT FEEL LIKE WASTEING FUCKING POSTING SPACE TO SAY THIS>
BEEN TO THE F'ING HOSPITAL FOR A 5 CM KIDNEY STONE WREAKING HAVOK IN THERE.PUTTING ME "LITERALLY" TO MY KNEES.FEVER.PAIN.THROWING UP.ETC...ETC...ETC..
WHEN DOES THIS SHIT,I MEAN WHEN O WHEN DOES THIS STUPID SHIT END?
YES,YOUR SEEING ME LITERALLY HAVING A FUCKING BREAKDOWN.
TOO EMBARRASSED TO SHOW "THISSS" MUCH WEAKNESS IN A REAL POST!!!SO THERE!i SAID IT.....just in comment form..
sorry
I just feel so M.F.ing weak and really fucking powerless over my freezing,acheing,hopeless,body.Yet this is the most movement I've had in DAYS....guess it's a start?
oh dear...renal stones on top of everything else.. I'm sorry hun. I know it's excruciating. Will be praying for you.
Holy crap...Tammi actually posted the word "Fuck" without editing! That sounds serious!
Kidney stones are painful and you are showing now more weakness than any other person would.
Sit back, get some rest and Have a Happy Fourth Of July with your family.
WALKER~~~
I spent my 4th rolling around on the floor like a dumbass in our breakroom with fever,in pain,,by myself,cuz there was NOBODY and I repeat NOBODY to take my place on the 4th.
Weakness---that's a big HA HA!!
I've spent 2 years never NOT EVEN ONCE calling in sick,or even missing a days work.
So when Tammi says "I'm hurting like a mother fucker....then guess what?I'm hurting like a mother fucker"!
Hope your 4th was better than mine.
That sucks that you have to work while you're sick.
I'd remind them of this when someone does book off sick and they want you to do their shift
Ummm so hurting like a mother-fucker, is that when a guy gets caught doing his mother or stepmother by his father and gets a baseball bat upside the head, legs, arms, back shoulders......
I hope you feel better soon and get back to your perky self.
Take care
wow shit, glad you are okay.
My God, Tammi! And here I thought I had the market cornered when I was broadcasting live on radio as the Grand Marshall of The Mesquite Balloon Festival years ago. A wind gust caused us to crash-land in a back lot where I was dragged 35 feet. My pilot lived too and we were given a champagne salute after the festival. Doesn't compare wit your near-death though! Glad you are okay! Ouch!!!
I'm reading from now and back
through your archives, and can't believe we both have car accidents
AND kidney stones in common.
I know, I know, but it's true.
Amazing that you walked away.
I also remember after waking up
from my accident and thinking that
there must be some purpose that
I hadn't figured out yet. That
took 5 plus years afterwards.
sending safety fairy dust :)
Sprinkle abundantly.
Kate
