You are one super person. How weird is that for me to say to someone I don't know, but that story about how you met your husband. I was actually glued to the edge of my seat...lol!! Yeah, now you are thinking i'm a crazy person. i'm not, just love your refreshing outlook.<BR/><BR/>so the car thing....i had something happen like that to me in terms of an accident. everything was fine (and I didn't have a VW). It's been 10 years since that and I still am constantly scanning and searching for things that could potentially happen. In the beginning it was exhausting for me to drive and then it became better. I just got the biggest car i could - GMC Yukon XL and I feel lots better!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745397.post-1148250387247331982006-05-21T15:26:00.000-07:002006-05-21T15:26:00.000-07:00I HATE those commercials! the only redeeming quali...I HATE those commercials! the only redeeming quality is that they almost curse, and that makes me giggle.

I don't even have my drivers liscence yet {long story} but at 25, the longer I wait the more anxious I am about driving.<BR/><BR/>My fear is the same as yours. I fear that I can't control what the other drivers do. I fear that with one quick turn I could veer off the road or something.<BR/><BR/>I am going to be taking driving lessons with a paid instructor soon so that I can hear from an expert exactly what I need to work on.<BR/><BR/>My DH says driving is all about confidence.Now I just gotta find me some.<BR/><BR/>Just know you're not alone. ;)<BR/>SaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745397.post-1148009031014061392006-05-18T20:23:00.000-07:002006-05-18T20:23:00.000-07:00Oh god, I'm dying over you comment on my blog: "A...Oh god, I'm dying over you comment on my blog: <BR/><BR/>"And with that, I'd like to close this post with a poem I wrote using only drivel and the snapping of my fingers...."<BR/><BR/><BR/>ROFLMAO!!!

After my accident there was no way I wanted to get behind the wheel of a car again. My Mom forced me to though and thankfully she did! As much fear as I still have, with Angel gone so much I have to be able to drive the kids around! I'm seriously skittish though and just cringe whenever I see brake lights or hear squealing tires. Gives me shivers just thinking about it! I can't even watch those VW commercials! No way, no how! <BR/><BR/>Anywho...have a great family day! I hope the weather is nice enough for a picnic!

I don't fear driving, but I'm definately not nonchalant about it. I don't do any "extra-curriculars" while driving..like talking on the cell phone or messing with the radio. Just take little baby steps into it and you'll conquer your fear.. are at least keep it in check.<BR/><BR/>MMMM.

It diabled me so terrbly (for the same reasons) that I didn't learn how to drive until 2 years ago,infact, I got my first licence while i was living on o'ahu 2 years ago today. and only because my now husband forced me to, saying that it would be almost impossible for me to be a mom if i couldn't drive my kids to the dr or school or basic things we have to do everyday. not onlt that, but i hail from oregon, and we don't pump our own gas (it's aaginst the law) so i didn't know how to do it. I failed my rd test 2x. im bettter now. as long as im driving i feel like it's ok tohave my kids in the car becuase at least im controlling my own vehicle, it's when someone else drives, like my nascar wanabe husband that I freak out about their saftey. oh well...but i do have to say, those commercials make alot of sense.Julshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830819781815303380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745397.post-1147923192713971172006-05-17T20:33:00.000-07:002006-05-17T20:33:00.000-07:00Those commercials freak me out everytime!!

I would have kept it until I ran it into the ground but there was just not enough room with a carseat in the back. They are VERY safe cars. I highly recommend it.<BR/><BR/>As for the fear of driving, I have two suggestions for you. One, as I was driving around yesterday I saw a "Defensive Driving School" car driving around. That might be a good idea for you. My dad always taught me to be a defensive driver...to assume that people will do the wrong thing and to be prepared. It really does help but it makes me twitchy. I am always sure that someone is going to try to merge into me on the freeway. My second suggestion: hypnotherapy. I did that for about six months before Zoƫ was born to try and get over my fear of throwing up (mine, others, the grossness in general). I wouldn't say that I am completely over it, but I don't have panic attacks anymore. Hope that helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7745397.post-1147891281435408402006-05-17T11:41:00.000-07:002006-05-17T11:41:00.000-07:00I'm so glad you pointed out the movie about the WT...I'm so glad you pointed out the movie about the WTC.
